Potter under threat as West Ham slip to Palace defeat
Today West Ham face a crisis after a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Graham Potter is under pressure as results fail to improve.
However, the mood at London Stadium is mutinous and the board watches.
Yet West Ham sit 18th after four losses in five games.
The club has begun talking to potential replacements.
Potter says he still has support from the hierarchy.
But the clock is ticking and the circus gates are open.
Nevertheless the fans deserve better than this 18th place drift.
Therefore the team will press hard and tackle harder to turn it around.
Still there is no high line without a barge-like centre-back behind it.
Otherwise Potter will need results fast, or the axe will fall.
Rivals such as Millwall and Spurs will feel the jab if they doubt the East End anthem.
This season cries for a spark and a win.
Until then the stands are the true soul of West Ham.
TLDR
- West Ham’s season starts poorly; Potter under threat.
- Results must improve quickly or a change may follow.
- A hard press and barge-backed defense are needed to turn it around.
