Does he want to ring the changes? Has you got the ability to? We were speaking about that in part two, in part one. We'll have a little look at West Ham, what they've been up to since they've changed. You're managing and stuff like that.

Even in itself, that's a bit of Christmas here, isn't it? A little bit of John Lewis. Anyway, I digress. John, I'll start with you. Thanks for me coming in. Yeah, West Ham, it's interesting with West Ham because they were absolute shambles. They decided to obviously get rid of Graham Potter, which I think a lot of the West Ham fans were delighted with other than the fact that he had to stop making memes of us superimposing on other people's faces they brought in Nuno and in recent weeks there's certainly been a reaction and obtain a form so two wins and a draw at Bournemouth, a game win which by the way they

were two in a lot of one point as well which I don't think a draw at Bournem, so bad result for

anybody. It does feel like yeah it had been much better to play West Ham earlier in the season

than it is now. The new manager certainly getting his ideas across and they're hitting

a little bit of an uptick and form. Yeah he's played a blinded I think you know getting that job like obviously sort of sort of swept under the rug a little bit with everything that come after a forest but like a sort of forest team sort of tailed off the end the last season and he's managed to sort of take sort of like all the plour that's for that big to going well and and walk straight into West Ham seemingly into a squad.

I think that really, in a lot of ways, is sort of set up in his image.

You know, he's maybe a bit more dynamic than David Mouye's would have been at West Ham, but he's, you know, certainly in Nilech, you know, it's a very, whenever I sort of see them, I always sort of think that any of his team, they feel very sort of like Marino, Benitez,

very sort of mid-2000s, you know what I mean.

So he's done well, and it's the right type of sort of like Marino, Benitez, very sort of mid-2000s, you know what I mean?

So he's done well, and, you know, and it's the right type of sort of club and fan base for him, I think, as well in terms of like he's, you know, they want teams to be aggressive and they want teams to sort of feel like they're under the caution fighting for everything, which is exactly the type of thing he can bring them. I think

they were all just so done with Potter as well

that the relief of them being in just helped

he's inherited the good squad and he's starting to get them a bit of a tune out of them. I haven't caught much of them since he's took over, but I think some of the players that they had, it you like, it felt sort of towards the end,

the part of that like everything was going through Jared Bowen and basically if he didn't have a good game kind of thing, a bit like Oswood to Boslett, then it didn't really, you know, not really happened, but it was having a bit of look at the numbers and stuff on the way over and like, you know, Carlson's top scorer, he managed to get a bit of a tune out of him playing he's got a few players there who are you know a bit more dynamic and like

pocetta maybe you can sort of look to mirror some of the transition stuff he was doing it for us but um they've gone from being i think along with wolves sort of the team everyone was looking at going like they look finished to you look at them now and think actually they'll probably sort of be comfortable I think comfortable it may maybe they've got themselves out to the relegation zone which is a positive for them was interesting John because sorry Lewis I'll stop come back to you um he starts with that game against Evanton only very early on gets the draw and then it goes a little bit sour as Arsenal um Brentford and Leeds or beat West Hamwich that Leeds was also in particular it was a real kick in the nuts but since then they've beat Newcastle, beat Bernie Drew with Bournemouth maybe it was just it's taken a little while like he's found some players to Callum Wilson thing for example he's like mentioned there getting a bit of a tune out of him the likes of Perketta and Bowen look a little bit better now so it took no no a while but it feels like he's he's ground him into shape and i've always said this with west ham i've always been quite surprised at how lower down the yard on the table because you've got good players like those lads have just mentioned they're a good players some of those are good player i've always been a fan of quite a lot of them and yeah like i say they're a dangerous team especially if if you're if you're a little bit of which we are, which we are, who are low on confidence.
