Ahead of today's crucial 'live on sky' clash with Watford at Vicarage road we look forward with hope and reservation as to what fans can expect now and up to the January transfer window. West Ham finally called time on Slaven Bilic’s reign as manager after the team's wretched start to the season and the club moved quickly to install David Moyes as his replacement. Moyes, who’s last job involved relegation at Sunderland, will be looking to not only change West Ham’s fortunes but also his own.

So now David Moyes has confirmed the appointment of Alan Irvine, Billy McKinlay and Stuart Pearce as his assistants at West Ham United what can fans realistically expect? Initially the least that is expected is for the players to show more commitment than has been on display in this underwhelming season that fans have been forced to endure so far. The long trek to and from the London Stadium has seemed even longer of late and to say the mood has been incredibly toxic would be an understatement!

Will new West Ham United manager have free rein over his goal keeping selection? Rumour has it that part of the deal that brought Joe Hart from all conquering Manchester City to the London Stadium was that he had to play every Premier League match unless he was injured, with the exception of the two matches against his parent club which under archaic FA rules he is not allowed to play. If allowed, which is the subject of some conjecture, does David Moyes have the Cojones to replace Joe Hart with fans favourite Adrian San Miguel?
