As time passes, it’s becoming further apparent that keeping Graham Otter for as long as the club decided to was a cataclysmic action and one to cause a surplus of contented coos.
12 matches into the season and Nuno has officially taken charge of 7 of those, accumulating a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses but the damage before hand had already been acquired due to the results, toxicity that Gardening Potter had planted as well as some of the ludicrous calls to keep certain individuals and get rid of others across the Transfer window.
Nuno’s fist fixture in charge against Everton saw us achieve a draw which was all happy dandy, but three losses proceeded and these three results were all ‘experimental’ which is exactly what pre-season is for, it’s just immensely unfortunate that in this instance, Nuno had to use Premier League games to find out his preferred side and tactic, which against Newcastle, he finally did.
Since this miraculous finding, the Hammers have been unbeaten in 3 but despite finding the form, due to the early salvation damage Nuno had to suffer, combined with Potters’ dreadful start to the season, we find ourselves heading into the next three matches needing results, which, considering it is against Liverpool, Manchester United and Brighton, is an extremely tough ask.
No surprises to many as all are familiar with the typically ‘Premier League gap’ that begins to open at some point inevitably every season, and in the club’s case, six points are vitally needed amongst the next three fixtures to reduce that growing gap...otherwise, it’ll be a destined, dreaded and inevitable 16th place finish for NES. - LN

Liverpool
Are in a fragile state right now and letting in plenty of goals so this is a game we have to look to get a win from.
It will not be easy but Nuno has to be brave and not sit deep and counter this lot because if you give good players the ball and let them play they will kill you.
Manure you just do not no but it is a tough fixture and as they are at home they will be in your face from the first whistle and the players have to be ready for that.
Brighton been blowing hot and cold this season so we can get a draw there and if we dare to step up the pitch we could even win i mean they beat Brentford and Fulham both by a whisker in there last two home games so although its not one of our bogey grounds if we have the right mentality we can come through these tricky fixtures with a hopeful 4 points COYI
excellent appreciation HG!
I think Man U is the most difficult. They seem to have started to get the house in order both on the pitch and off it. Off the pitch they have cut out a lot of dead wood making significant savings, I think a decent manager who is starting to reach expectations and on the field i feel they have a good attacking spirit. All that said Everton will get a truly scrappy win this evening and make me look a complete plum! :o)
