Graham Potter’s future at West Ham may hinge on whether he can keep his players onside amid a poor run of form.
Potter faces the sack at West Ham, whilst Hammers supporters have protested about the club’s owners before their defeat against Crystal Palace.
Slaven Bilic has already been lined up to replace Potter, whilst former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is also a candidate.

Without Carabao Cup action, Potter has had a full week to work with his squad on the training pitch before their next Premier League match at Everton.
As per Sky Sports, [24 September], “Potter still has significant support from the players in his squad.”
“As with any squad, there may be players who are unhappy for different reasons, but they are all united about getting back to winning ways,” Sky Sports reported.

Potter knows how much he needs the backing from his players if he is to turn around performances and results at the club.

That has been a constant downfall for the Hammers this season and if Potter can fix that issue then he will be one step closer to gaining positive results.
Everton and Arsenal next will test West Ham’s resolve even greater from set-pieces, and Potter will be scrutinised having had a whole week to work with his squad.
