At the moment, it's fair to say that West Ham need all the help they can get. With the Hammers looking almost like a dead cert to experience relegation this season despite continually putting on performances that seem to suggest they are capable of pulling away from the danger zone, they need each and every individual at the club to pull together and rally from now until the end of the season.
Avram Grant therefore has Danny Gabbidon to thank for issuing a rallying call to the club's players that could yet inspire them to put Saturday's 3-0 crushing at the hands of Chelsea to one side as the club prepare for their remaining fixtures against some tricky opponents in the form of Manchester City, Blackburn, Wigan, and Sunderland.
Gabbidon has revealed his disappointment that the side were made to pay in the cruelest manner possible for missing a couple of golden opportunities to score, with Robbie Keane particularly guilty, tvs and lg home cinema systems everywhere capturing the moment that he sent a shot wide from eight yards out with the goal gaping. The defender revealed that "it seems the same old story" when they fail to "take [their] chances", with a lack of cutting edge in front of goal one of the reasons why West Ham are propping up the rest of the league table despite playing well more often than not in their league fixtures.
With Gabbidon also revealing that defensive weaknesses also seem to be holding the Hammers back from succeeding at the top level of the English game, the problems for Grant to deal with are indeed substantial.
However, with individuals such as Scott Parker willing to do whatever it takes to lead the side away from the relegation zone, and with the fight to stay in the league so, so tight at the moment, West Ham could yet provide their fans with reason to smile this season.
