I don't know about Gianfranco Zola but I'm considering my future after this latest debacle. Despite Tuesday nights mess and the horrendous stories flying about of David Sullivan's bust-up with Steve Clarke, impending disciplinary action for the Hammers coach and much mud-slinging and name calling, I actually thought the whole thing would bring the team together and provide a spirited display that would result in three points.

But it didn't...in fact, in many ways, although the performance against Stoke wasn't as shambolic as the display against Wolves, this was even more of a shocker. Gianfranco Zola is said to be considering his position overnight but I would have to say - much as I have supported the Italian - I think his position is now virtually untenable. Our last three home games have served up three defeats against sides sitting alongside us that we were confidently expected to get a result from and, late in the day though it may be, I just see no way back for Zola from this.

This game produced little in terms of real chances and there was no fluidity about the play; worse, in fact, when substitute Ricardo Fuller put the visitors ahead West Ham's response was simply to lump the ball forward in hopes of catching a lucky break. It was awful to watch and did nothing for Zola's philosophy of trying to play the 'correct way'. Quite where it has all gone wrong it is difficult to say but there is a real feeling that West Ham couldn't beat a Wanstead Flats Select XI now, such is the mental state of the players, fans and management.

The changes that Zola made to the team after Tuesday's horrendous defeat did little to quell the feeling that Zola is no longer sure of what he is trying to achieve. Dyer came into the side but only lasted till half-time - there's a shock! - while the patently unfit McCarthy was replaced by Mido who looked off the pace and wasted the few good chances that did come West Ham's way. Da Costa came in for Tomkins but the Hammer's lack of depth in defence was only highlighted by this move and it was the defender who was shown a clean pair of heels when substitute Ricardo Fuller - ironically sent on for ex-Hammer Matthew Etherington whose ability to beat players would have proved useful for his old club today - wriggled past the Hammers defence cutting past Upson and Parker to score an excellent goal. It was the type of thing West Ham have singularly failed to produce all season and left the home side chasing shadows as they piled on pressure without producing any tangible shots or giving the feeling that they could get back into the game at all.

The fall-out from this latest defeat will reverberate for the rest of the week and probably the season so I won't waste time and words right here and now, as I have a feeling I will need to be revisiting Soccernet quite a bit over the next few weeks.
