Especially if the team is hovering above the relegation zone after five defeats in six matches - it’s little wonder that the West Ham manager is […]

With an average of two goals every league match, the Hammers haven’t exactly been struggling for goals this season, although Dean Ashton’s injury means that they’ve looked a bit lightweight up top.
