Nuno Espirito Santo has made a dreadful start and the mood darkens.
Mutinous supporters turn as baffling lineup choices dominate conversation.
Brentford beat them 2-0 after a list of odd selections.
The Leeds game followed with another troubling display.
Against Brentford he fielded a right back on the left and a left back on the right.

The display felt like a low point in the Premier League circus.
If no change comes quickly, the Hammers may slip further toward midtable obscurity.
