No strikers, one centre-back and four full-backs, but a threadbare West Ham squad battled back from a goal down to draw away at Aston Villa, even coming close to nicking all three points.

There are plenty of reasons for us to be positive this week and we are full of praise for new boss Graham Potter.

We also touch on the rumours linking us with Jhon Duran, how we tactically undone Villa, and there is even a talk about hamsters!
