West Ham United manager David Moyes has opened up to the supporters in a column for the London Evening Standard.

The fans have made headlines in recent weeks due to a planned protest march scheduled for Saturday, ahead of the club's Premier League match against Burnley at the London Stadium.

The march, which was arranged by a number of supporters' groups, was eventually called off following talks with the board.

However, some fans have expressed on social media a desire for the protest to go ahead.

At the moment, the Hammers are in a precarious position in the league as they are just three points above the relegation zone with nine games left to play.

The club have lost three of their last four top-flight matches, so it is understandable if there is some unrest among the fanbase.

Ahead of this weekend's action, Moyes addressed the fans in a piece for the London Evening Standard, urging them to get behind the team.

"Nine matches to go, with six at home, emphasises for me just how big a part our fans can play in ensuring West Ham remain a Premier League club. I am aware some of our supporters have been less than happy with certain aspects of the club over a period of time but for me, as West Ham’s manager, my area of responsibility is helping to give the team the best chance of winning matches."
