West Ham United are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table.
Stan Collymore has told Boylesports that West Ham United fans need to be patient, despite their poor start to the campaign.
West Ham have won just one of their opening four Premier League matches, and currently sit in 17th place in the standings.
To make matters worse for the Hammers, they threw away a 2-0 lead in front of their own fans – to lose 4-2 to Watford in their most recent outing.
That defeat has caused great unrest amongst West Ham’s fan base, but Collymore does not think that it is the time to panic.
“I think they have a good squad and a very good manager so patience is needed but fans quickly forget last season so the manager needs to find a way and quickly to grind out one or two results as playing particularly at home in front of an edgy, ready to punch crowd is the worst possible nightmare for a player,” he said.
There is no suggestions that Slaven Bilic is under pressure at West Ham yet, and he should have time on his side.
The Hammers surpassed expectations last term, but there is a realisation that they will need to improve quickly this time around.
West Ham have looked way off the pace so far, but the return of Dimitri Payet should help them, as they aim to get back to top form once again.
Bilic’s side’s next match comes against West Bromwich Albion, who have also started the new campaign in poor fashion.
