The Hammers find themselves just two points off the relegation zone after 14 Premier League games. David Moyes' West Ham are under pressure to get resultsCredit: PA Ex-Hammers player and coach Stuart Pearce has called for calm Despite a mini-upturn in form, they have lost three of their last five outings. A run of eight wins on the spin in the Europa Conference League has kept the boo-boys at bay, but they returned in force after Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace. They were particularly vocal following a pair of Moyes second half subs, booing the decision to take off Said Benrahma and sarcastically jeering Tomas Soucek being switched out. Having reached the Europa League semis last season, many expected West Ham to be challenging for a Euro spot once more this campaign, especially after splashing out around £160m on eight new signings this summer. But boss Moyes has so far struggled to get his new faces consistently firing, with the form of £30.5m Gianluca Scamacca and £36.4m Lucas Paqueta falling off in recent weeks.

'And if they beat Blackburn, you'd think you have had a really solid start. FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS - BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS 'You need to be patient. You don't furnish the squad wit){kind=link}
