Tough times at West Ham United. Graham Potter under pressure. Brazilian superstar Lucas Paqueta under threat from clubs willing to spend cash in the transfer window: No new midfielders coming in and a severe player shortage in a threadbare squad. And two leave defeats leaving the Hammers bottom of the league.
Wise words come from a very surprising source, seeking to reassure West Ham fans that the storm will be weathered along with all the other cliche’s for ‘things gonna get better’.
Free signing Callum Wilson was not the most welcomed player to join this summer. And he knows this, of course. Despite his frosty reception, Wilson has gone on record to stick his head above the parapet and set out to reassure Hammers fans that things will turn. Which is pretty brave and he deserves credit – as the ‘notorious’ free signing of the summer it would have been very easy to sit on his hands. However, whufc.com reports Wilson’s ‘experienced’, calming words at a time when the Hammers are missing their most senior squad members who exited the club last summer.

“Wilson | There will be a turnaround”:
“I’ve experienced this situation many times before. I’ve had clubs who have not won a game until November and been absolutely fine. It’s early days, but we need to put things right, which we know, but it’s about sticking together. We need to get going, and we will do that”
Reassurance for Hammers fans – Wilson has seen it all before
Whether Wilson at the ripe old age of 33 will feature in his second game in 72 hours as West Ham travel to Wolves tomorrow, clearly the wise head on – old shoulders – can act as a calming influence in these troubled weeks. Let us hope he’s right.
