My take on this is that West Ham are more or less in the same place as we were under Ellis. No cohesion,or direction,changing managers every 5 minutes,got some good young players,but not able to introduce them into a failing team. The difference is that their Board have made a fundamental mistake with the ground,....their fans hate it! When we came down, the SOL stood the strain,if Wolves come down,Molineux will stand the strain,as will Turf Moor......proper grounds,even in adversity. West Ham don't have that. They'll be the biggest stadium in the Championship....but there's no atmosphere, and it will be half full.

Very good point that, it’ll be bleak when they have the likes of Stockport turn up …

… they’ll keep their hardcore but that was never as big as they claimed.

They’ll lose the tourists and Millwall will be their game of the season.
 
In normal times you would put that down as a slam dunk for Spurs, but it's a really tough one to call this year.
Spurs have been hideous for a while, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see West Ham win there!

Forest’s next 3 league games…massive

Crystal Palace (H)
Leeds (A)
Wolves (H)
 
It's only a couple of weeks since people were saying how good Palace were, that Leeds had found the secret to PL success and were safe ...

... in no time West Ham have won two on the bounce and their rivals are trying to stab each other in the back.

It's great fun watching them all squirming <laugh>
 
Another huge weekend ahead. I think those in bold are still at risk. Seems mad to include Spurs but they’re in terrible form and have some tough fixtures over the next few weeks…

Leeds v Arsenal
Wolves v Bournemouth
Chelsea v West Ham
Nottingham Forest
v Crystal Palace
Spurs
v Man City
Sunderland v Burnley
