Statistically West Ham United should be 'hunkering down' for what will be a rocky ride from now until the end of a season that promised so much, but has delivered far too little.

In fact many supporters are of the opinion that surviving relegation itself will be an achievement given the strengthening other teams have made of their squads during the recently closed transfer window.
