Friday's defeat 'cost a lot more than a place in the FA Cup'

Graham Potter is at the wheel - and, despite losing to Aston Villa in the FA Cup in his first game in charge, there was such a vast improvement in West Ham's performance that there is some optimism we have finally got the right man in charge. Niclas Fullkrug's hamstring injury means it needs to be at the very top of the priority list this week. Reports claim the Hammers have ramped up efforts to get a deal for a striker done as soon as possible now that Potter has only Danny Ings available as a fit first-team forward.
