BOSS DESPERATE FOR NU START AT SORRY HAMMERS

SECOND COMING Hammers boss Nuno is hoping to kick-start season

- 

WEST HAM boss Nuno Espirito Santo wants a decent FA Cup run - and some January signings.

The Irons host Championship side QPR today without a win in their last 10 league games.

Nuno said: “It is a good chance to win a football match, which is what we need. Things change when you are winning. “You recover faster and you are more happy, so we are fully focused on trying to win the match against a tough team in a competition we appreciate a lot."

The Hammers also want new signings, and Nuno added: "We need to rebalance our squad, it is clear, and we need to bring in players that can make us stronger for the fight we are in."

MANSFIELD boss Nigel Clough hopes lightning does not strike twice after his Stags went on a disastrous 14-game winless run when they went out in the third round last year.
