Over the last season, it's been discussed amongst Hammers fans which is more of an underlying issue, whether it is the defence that needs more work than the attack. Or is it Vice-Verca?

The Hammers have conceded over 16 goals in the space of just 7 matches, totalling an average of 2.28 goals per game. To compare it to Sheffield United, who currently hold the worst record with 104 Goals conceded in a Premier League season, they averaged 2.73 goals per game.

Upon recent news of Nichlas Fullkrug receiving his now 3rd injury in the International break, it has sparked a debate amongst the club and how it is likely that the Hammers will look to sign another forward in January, seeing as we're currently down to just the Callums.

Since the longing international break has occurred, Nuno has taken it upon himself to take charge in a pre-return friendly in which the Hammers suffered a defeat against Ipswich.

Whilst the scoreline isn’t publicly known, it was understood that it wasn’t a pretty scoreline or how the team played.

Nuno’s investigation decided to test the waters with a 3-4-3 formation, in which Igor-piggle lined up alongside Jean-Clair Todibo, and the final defender was one of the youth players.

JWP also featured in the fixture but who he was alongside was also unknown.
