Ex-West Ham manager Harry Redknapp expects his former club to go from strength to strength this season.

The Hammers’ have not had the best of starts, having won just three of their eleven league games so far but, Redknapp claims that once the new signings are bedded in, David Moyes’s side will begin to pick up points:

“I really hope David and West Ham do well again this year. It’s not easy being in Europe and playing Thursday and Sunday but they’ve got a good squad there now and as long as they have some luck with injuries, I think they’ll get stronger and stronger as the season goes on.”

As Moyes has said himself recently, West Ham have been rather unlucky with some of the results going against them so far this campaign. Heading into the Bournemouth fixture, they currently lie in 17th but their performances suggest they should be in the top half at least.

You do feel that the Irons will improve as the season goes on but confidence can easily sap away if the team don’t begin to pick up results and move up the table in the coming weeks.

With the likes of Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Leicester coming up after the Cherries, fans will be hoping to get some more wins on the board.
