West Ham struggling to make possession count
BBC Sport · 2026-08-26 · all
West Ham United supporter Holly Turbutt believes the Hammers are not making the most of having more possession in the Championship.
The Story So Far
West Ham United are currently navigating their campaign in the Championship, where a notable tactical trend has emerged regarding ball control. While the Hammers frequently maintain high levels of possession during matches, observations from the fan base, including supporter Holly Turbutt, suggest this dominance is not being effectively translated into a tangible advantage. Despite often seeing more of the ball than their opponents, the team appears to be struggling to convert these periods of control into decisive opportunities. This lack of clinical efficiency remains a point of focus as the club seeks to improve its results in the second tier.
