West Ham vs Norwich City - The Aftermath

West Ham United vs Norwich City - The Aftermath

So there we are. Another fixture come and gone, another three points fallen by the wayside. Hughton's men, forever the gentlemen allowed West Ham to continue their fantastic run of form and emerge from the six-pointer victorious.

Questions are being asked as to why Hughton brought Redmond off when he was proving to be the driving force in City's attack, and why Elmander was swapped for an ever energetic Hooper when he's never shown the same prowess in front of goal. Was Mr nice guy offering a share of the spoils to a West Ham side who were only in the game due to their fantastic keeper and Norwich's lack of conviction in front of goal.

As the full-time whistle came and went, the City faithful were screaming for Hughton to be dismissed on the spot. And really, who can blame them? 

Norwich have four less points than last season at this stage, which may not seem a huge difference however in the premier league points on the board are like gold dust. Some will argue it's recoverable but in the dark depths of fans minds their is the ever-looming prospect of five potential losses in the final fixtures of the season.

Another issue is the state in which Norwich have conducted themselves on the pitch this year. No confidence, poor goal difference and a distinct lack of goals to their name. We haven't got in the faces of our opposition or grabbed matches by the scruff of the neck and for those reasons, Hughton it's a no from me.

Whether or not these next 10 days before the (h) game to Tottenham will see a change in the City management remains to be seen, but failing a change in personnel our current manager needs to show some passion and disregard to his negative mindset and get the team raring to go and in the frame of mind to roll over some teams in the coming weeks.
