Hammers must beat Hull and hope Southampton lose to Coventry to pinch second and avoid the play-offs.

Here we go, in the media - mass clear out if we don't go up! Every bloody year we have this, we know players will leave but I'm not sure about a clear out.
4-0 to us on Saturday (although I have a soft spot for Hull City, 'er indoors comes from Hull. 1-1 Saints v Coventry, and we are up.......................just!
BOTD is winking at me ..................I'm sure she is
No I don't see Coventry doing us a favour either, but we have to do our bit and put at least 4 past Hull.
It's now that we look back at the likes of the Ipswich game and think,
if our team had showed up that night, we would already be up.
I think of the games like Burnley at Home mate.Remembering listening to the game on the radio.First half,we went 1 up,and playing well.Julian Dicks co-commentating said this could be four or five,now they,ve got the opening goal.We let them back in the game,and they beat us.
How many times this season did we take the lead,only to sit back and let the opposition come onto us get an equalizer,resulting in them going home with a point.

Yep, almost happened again against Leceister on Monday night. It's the big Sam way!
Clear out? No, not this season. If we don't go up this or next year then a 'clear out' would most likely happen. Apart from Green leaving i would be disappointed to see any other big names leave this Summer.
