Make no bones about it, West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is under increasing pressure and with each passing defeat it looks more likely that the club will make a change in the dugout before the season is out.

The Hammers contingent here in the Transfer Tavern have been dismayed with their team this season and the club’s first campaign in a new home has been a complete and utter disaster from the off.

Several fans are getting boozy already in the Tavern, with most of them predicting today’s game with Swansea City to be the Croatian boss’ last should the Hammers not get a result.

Our landlord is intrigued that the club’s supporters would want such a cult hero sacked as manager after one poor season and he sets about sticking up for the under-fire gaffer.

The bar manager here in the Tavern thinks Bilic should have been sacked months ago and he looked at two players who should be dropped for today’s game with the Swans.

Andre Ayew

A series of injury concerns have halted Ayew’s progress in his maiden season with the Hammers and his poor showing against Hull one week ago could mean he is sidelined for this one.

One Hammers fan is sat with a bacon butty and a pot of hot tea this morning and he thinks that Ayew is a waste of time, stating that he shouldn’t have been signed in the first place.

James Collins

The central defender is not getting any younger and West Ham could look to replace him in the team and look towards other options ahead of next season.

One West Ham fan is sat reading the newspaper here in the Transfer Tavern and he thinks that Collins has been out of sorts lately, stating that he might well be replaced in future weeks by an alternative option at the heart of the defence.
