Hammers boss will fight through form

- by JOHN CROSS

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 the former Chelsea and Brighton boss 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, 50, knows the atmosphere could quickly turn toxic if they lose their first home game to Chelsea tonight.

He showed he has developed a tougher edge from his time at Stamford Bridge, as he 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.
