How important is it for West Ham and Nuno’s future that the Lincoln and Swansea games go the club’s way ?

The days are numbered for him if he doesn't get a grip. There are at least 8 clubs that could thrash us in our league, looking at the table it's a worry home and away. He needs advice, the players should know what needs to be done.

When Bowen is marked out of the game by 2 or 3 or later in the season when he get's injured we are F**ked. The goals and points will dry up and we will be stuck in the 2nd league for years to come. We need to move the ball forward quicker, we need to be more physical in this league and chase their keeper down faster. We are getting overrun in our M/F

I think they’ll be fine either way but getting anything less than four points from these games will have fans putting a lot of pressure on Nuno. It’s a long season but when you have high expectations, things get nervy quickly

It’s still sooo early in the season. Even a couple of poor results here wouldn’t be horrendous imo. Marathon not a sprint

For the fans i'd say the bigger issue is the performances rather than the points. There's obviously plenty of time to turn things around, but with the squad West Ham have, they shouldn't be relying on the length of the Championship season to bail them out.

Not very is the short answer! There will still be over 100 points to play for. But I understand it’s important to keep fans onside

So many games in the Championship. Even if things don’t go to plan in these two upcoming games, there’s no need to hit the panic button yet.

At least 4 points at least. Need to be in the automatic promotion spots given they are the best side on paper

I think West Ham need to look at the bigger picture. When it comes to the winter and it's Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, West Ham will surge forward then with a solid squad of players. If he doesn't get promoted he should be sacked but I'm entirely convinced he will.

Swansea are 1st so maybe not as much importance on that as they’re a good side. But a good test

Need two wins imo. ‘Best team the champ has ever seen’ taking a long old while to get going…

All ifs and buts, but you’d take Bowen to score that penalty vs QPR 99 times out of 100 and suddenly things look a lot better. Long old season and think the quality will get West Ham there in the end

It feels like we may be at a crossroads yet again. Two really underwhelming performances in a row Fans will want to see a much more proactive, attacking style at Lincoln Drop points here and then at Swansea, and we could be 10 points off the top pretty quickly

Is there really that much pressure on him right now? Seems bizarre from the outside looking in

There’s 37 games of the season left, the championship is the most open league in the world and West Ham are two points off automatics, it would be bizzare to even consider sacking him before Christmas

Not sure it’s crucial. Whatever happens next two games West Ham are going up. Might be a few doubters if they don’t get 4 points from the next two but won’t change anything in the grand scheme of things

Swansea will be the test.

Anything other than 4 points is a problem. Swansea are decent but not unbeatable! Feels like there's always a crisis around Nuno around every corner

He’ll get them promoted that’s all that matters. Let the season play out and then make a change

Dropping points against Lincoln is surely a sign for Nuno to go. Swansea are no push-over either, they look strong this year. Nuno really needs to get this West Ham side playing, they should be walking this league

Is Nuno just going to have his future at West Ham questioned every couple of weeks? After every bad game?

Massively important. They’re favourites for promotion and need to be winning games like these

Lincoln is must win and a win against Swansea would be great to stamp authority as favourites to win the Championship

No doubt he needs a win and two good performances, but I just don’t think West Ham can be too reactionary with sacking Nuno, they’re still in a good spot and unbeaten in their last 5

Too much concern regarding Nuno. West Ham could be promoted with Big Sam back at the club. Their squad is miles better than any team in the League. The odd result might not go their way but fans need to start trusting Nuno

Lincoln must win, Swansea will be tough. They’ve made a great start

Tough matches but I’ve always been team nuno and I still am… 6 points incoming 👊

They simply need to beat Lincoln. Swansea are a good side, though and away from home it’s a tough fixture for anyone

I can’t believe questions are still being asked about Nuno’s future. Not lost in nine games! West Ham will walk the league when everything fully clicks.

It’s vital! The Hammers need six points or else!

I think 4 points are a minimum here - anything less and the knives will be out for Nuno and you would have to start questioning whether automatic promotion is likely. We dropped 6 points the last two games and it isn’t good enough for a team that was tipped to walk this league with maybe a record points tally.

Neither game is going to be easy. Four points isn’t a terrible return
