West Ham United manager David Moyes admits he has always felt he has had the backing of his players ahead of the final two months of the Premier League season.
After two back-to-back top seven finishes and a place in the semi-finals of the Europa League, the Hammers have gone from dreaming of the Champions League to desperately trying to avoid the Championship inside a matter of months, sitting 18th in the table and a point shy of the bottom three heading into Sunday’s relegation six-pointer against bottom of the table Southampton.
In recent months, home games against Everton and Nottingham Forest have been billed ahead of kick-off as must win, games which Moyes managed to earn 2-0 and 4-0 wins out of respectively, their only two wins in their last 14 Premier League matches.
