Meltdown – on and off the pitch
PAUL DONOVAN gives his take on the ongoing drama at West Ham
West Ham 2 14/3/18

WEST HAM United appear to be in a state of meltdown both on and off the pitch.

West Ham’s defeat against Burnley last Saturday sees the team drawn further back into the relegation mire — a situation they appeared to have escaped a few weeks ago.

The situation is still retrievable, with another three wins likely to take the club to safety. Prior to the Burnley game, fans saw that game plus Southampton and Stoke at home as being the most likely route to that goal.
