Languishing just above the relegation zone of the Premier League,West Han fans would of been hoping the re-appointment of David Moyes could give the team the new manager bounce to lift the side clear of danger

After just 45 minutes of his second reign as Hammers boss things were looking pretty good, 3-0 up against fellow strugglers Bournemouth (eventually winning 4-0). But that new manager bounce lasted for that solitary 90 minutes

Following that result the Scot’s Side have only picked up 1pt with a draw v Everton,in the process losing games to Sheffield United,Leicester and Liverpool and also exiting the FA Cup at the hands of Championship side West Brom.

Looking Forward

While being beaten by Leicester and Liverpool are not entirely surprising,the London clubs next few fixtures don’t get any easier.

Brighton (H)

Manchester City (A)

Liverpool (A)

Southampton (H)

Arsenal (A)

Wolves (H)

Tottenham (A)

Chelsea (H)

After Saturdays fixture with Brighton the Hammers then have 7 games in a row v top 10 sides,including away trips to Anfield,The Emirates and The Etihad.

Currently sitting outside the drop zone on goal difference alone,West Ham fans and players could be in for a tough couple of months trying to pick up the the required points to remain in England’s top division

It looks like a Goliath kind of task for the London club,But will David be up for the fight
