There are a number of key areas in the squad that aren’t particularly up to scratch at the moment, particularly on the right side of defence.

Are any of these West Ham players actually good enough for England?
Posted on 15 November 2015.
There has been widespread outcry amongst West Ham fans at the lack of representation of West Ham players in England squads.

Flattery from Sam Allardyce
Posted on 16 October 2015.
Some praise for James Tomkins When Sam Allardyce was appointed Sunderland manager, he was immediately linked via the media, to West Ham United defender, James Tomkins. I have to say, I have been impressed by Tomkins this season. I feared he had lost his way when he got himself arrested a couple of Christmases ago, however, since then, he seems to have knuckled down. He must have feared the worst, especially …

What defender would you play right back?
Posted on 15 October 2015.

If you look on pure performance and clean sheets then James Tomkins should be playing at right back, despite it not being…

Two players West Ham should sign
Posted on 15 April 2015.
With the summer transfer window and the end of the season fast approaching there are two players with uncertain futures at Upton Park. The first will be most difficult to decide on, Alex Song.

How are West Ham shaping up for the new season?
