Over 30% of 1,100 Claret and Hugh readers taking part in a poll believe West Ham will score 61-65 Premier League points this season with another 30% of readers saying 56-60 points is possible. Just over 15% of those voting said 51-55 points is doable while an optimistic 14% reckon West Ham can get to the dizzy heights of 66-70 points with 2% saying 71-75 points and a further 2% saying 76 points or above can be done!
Just under 5% of those voting think the Hammers will score 46-50 points and a pessimistic 1% say 41-45 points is the most likely while less than half a per cent says under 4o points is our doom.
Last season Manuel Pellegrini finished in tenth place on 52 points with the West Ham points record set in 2015/2016 when the Hammers scored 62 points and finished 7th.
It is encouraging to see that over 64% of those polled believe we will score points than last season.
The board and Pellegrini are believed to have a very ambitious points target although their primary goal will finish higher than tenth in the Premier League this season.
