Michael Dawson has issued a stark warning to West Ham supporters ahead of their showdown with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, February 17, expressing his unwavering support for manager David Moyes amidst mounting pressure.
Acknowledging the recent dismal performances, including a humiliating 6-0 defeat to Arsenal, Dawson urged fans to tread carefully in their demands for change, emphasizing Moyes’ significant contributions to the club.
“Last week was a disaster,” Dawson admitted during an appearance on Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday. “But just be cautious about what you wish for. David Moyes has achieved a lot at the club, including a European Cup win last year, so let’s not forget that.”
Despite the recent slump, West Ham finds themselves in eighth place in the Premier League standings with 36 points. However, with the team winless in seven matches across all competitions, frustration among fans is palpable.
Moyes’ tactical approach has come under fire, particularly after conceding 10 goals in their last three outings against Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Arsenal. Yet, the upcoming clash against Forest presents an opportunity for redemption and revival.
As both sides struggle to secure points, the match could serve as a pivotal moment for West Ham’s season. A victory at The City Ground could reignite their European aspirations and provide a much-needed morale boost ahead of their Europa League campaign.
While Moyes’ position seems secure for now, a poor result against Forest could hasten discussions about the manager’s future, especially with European football aspirations at stake.
