A lot of West Ham United fans agree with James Collins’ claims that no one in the current West Ham is willing to roll their sleeves up and have a go.
Speaking on TalkSPORT, the ex-Hammers defender believes that apart from Mark Noble and Declan Rice, no one else in the team is willing to work hard enough.
Collins believes that the squad should have known what to expect when they went to Turf Moor on Saturday, and they should have been prepared to dig in and fight.
Instead, they managed to let Sean Dyche’s side have 12 shots on target.
Collins, however, does not believe that Manuel Pellegrini should be sacked and that he needs to be given more time as he looks to turn around the Irons dreadful run of form.
Collins in his time with the Hammers made 214 appearances and always worked hard for the shirt.
Did Pellegrini deserve more time?
Yes
No
This current West Ham side, on paper, is good, but the recent performances have been awful, and they must show more fight and determination, or this season will be another disappointing one.

"Who's in that West Ham team that's going to roll their sleeves up?" 🤔
"They've got to give Pellegrini time." 🕗
"The next two games are huge."

Bang on. The fans know what the team needs and that’s fighters. Collins is one of few pros who has an insight into the current team and he’s saying the same things we are. Not enough fight.

…….can’t see Fornals or the awful goalkeeper Roberto rolling their sleeves up. And I don’t think I’d want Anderson, Haller or Yarmo in the threnches with me either. Only roll-up sleeves candidates in IMO are Noble, Rice and perhaps Snoddy.
