Under-fire boss feeling the heat as he vows to turn things around after nightmare start

POTTER'S HAMMERS HOUSE OF HORROR

THE results make pretty grim reading after Graham Potter's first eight months in charge.

Incredibly, West Ham have lost HALF of their 20 games in all competitions since Potter took over in January and have managed just five wins.

It means that the spotlight - even after just one defeat in the season opener at newly-promoted Sunderland - is already on the Hammers boss.

Potter knows the atmosphere could quickly turn toxic if they lose their first home game to his old club Chelsea tonight.

But the former Blues boss, who has clearly developed a tougher edge from his time at Stamford Bridge, insists he can turn things around.

The 50-year-old joked that he could tell there was already a story around him because more people showed up for his pre-match press conference. But he also said he really could not care less.

He said: "I'm confident. Honestly, I am.

I'm confident that we can do it.
