Wolves fans make thoughts clear with chant on West Ham figure in Fulham defeat
West Ham have struggled this season, but Wolves have been even worse.
The London Stadium will host the upcoming West Ham clash against Newcastle, following a poor campaign for the Hammers.
Nuno Espirito Santo has come under sack pressure in E20, and the result against the Magpies could have a telling impact on his spell as head coach.
Nuno’s former club, Wolves, have also had their fair share of struggles and have arguably made the Irons look better.
Vitor Pereira could soon lose his job and won’t be helped by the mention of Nuno from the Molineux faithful on Saturday.
Wolves fans sing Nuno Espirito Santo song vs Fulham
The Newcastle clash will be massive for Nuno if he is to be given a chance to lead the East London club forward throughout the rest of the season.
He is yet to pick up a victory with the claret and blue outfit in his opening four games since taking over from Graham Potter.
The 51-year-old has only added to the six-game winless streak for the Irons, having beaten Nottingham Forest so far this season.
Wolves haven’t even managed that feat and have gone 14 league matches without securing three points, last beating Leicester City in April.
This prompted their supporters to remember recent glory days in the away end at Craven Cottage as the Old Gold lost 3-0 at Fulham.
The tones of “Nuno had a dream” were heard from the travelling supporters alongside “Si Senor”, the chant of Raul Jimenez in the Black Country.
West Ham Nuno still loved by Wolves fans
The Hammers faithful are yet to truly back Nuno after what has been a frustrating start to life as head coach.
In the draw against Everton, his side looked much improved and could have easily secured three points on another day at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
That level of performance hasn’t been seen since, with the performance against Brentford being particularly shoddy.
There is every chance that West Ham will learn to love Nuno, as he clearly built up a strong bond with Wolves fans throughout his years at Molineux.
The fact that they are still singing his song all these years later can only be a boost for the Irons and a damming blow to Pereira.
