Hammers Down But Not Out - Why?

West Ham United have been in the relegation zone since Matchweek 13 and are hoping to make history with yet another great escape, but what is currently fuelling the spirit that all Hammers fans have inside them?

The season so far has been a game of cat and mouse entirely and all Nuno’s side have done is chase because it’s all we’ve had to do, every time the Hammers picked up points, the other teams around West Ham seem to have and simply only due to the immense consistency and run the Hammers are on, it could turn the table on its head.

Not battered nor beaten, but an underwhelming result for Nuno’s side. The Hammers set out with their first team but the Cherries set out a gameplan which neutralised Nuno’s threatening attack, which Iraola achieved, but at the cost of his own team, who subsequently struggled to create chances.
