According to The Mirror, West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has criticised the club's supporters for leaving matches early and failing to support the players for the full 90 minutes.
Not for the first time this season, may Irons fans left the London Stadium with around 15 minutes to play in the 4-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday – a result that proved to be the final nail in Slaven Bilic's coffin.
Similar occurrences happened in the home defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton and Hove Albion, which have left the 28-year-old unimpressed.
As reported by The Mirror, the centre-forward said: "They really should be staying. They should be staying until the end. You never know what's going to happen.
"They should be supporting us no matter what. We should be playing better. It's us to blame. But they should be helping us out a bit."
While West Ham fans can point to the current Premier League table and reference some of the poor performances and results they have witnessed at the London Stadium over the course of the last 15 months or so, perhaps the England international does have a valid point.
Here are three reasons Carroll is right to criticise the West Ham fans…
Lack of London Stadium atmosphere
While it certainly isn’t easy to create an atmosphere at the London Stadium compared to the Boleyn Ground, West Ham supporters just don’t seem to feel that it is their home.
While that may be their mentality, it is unlikely to change in the near future and they must start to create an atmosphere that will make it a tough place to come for opposition teams, no matter what is happening on the pitch.
The Irons fans have shown glimpses in the past – think the 1-0 win against Tottenham last term – that they can do it, and it must happen on a more regular basis.
They do need to do more to help their players
While football fans everywhere are obviously entitled to criticise the team or sit there in silence if they have paid their money, it isn't a tactic that is helping West Ham right now.
While it can be difficult to support players through the tough times where you perhaps feel they aren't putting as much effort in as they could be, audibly criticising them will not help a team that is already clearly lacking in confidence.
Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and get behind those on the pitch, and that extra boost could take some of the pressure off of the Irons players.
They need to lower their expectations
It is clear this season that outside of the top six, any of the other 14 Premier League teams can beat each other and there isn't a lot between any of the clubs.
West Ham are part of that group and while they should probably be expecting to beat someone like Brighton at home, they don't have a God-given right to get the three points.
Those expectations mean that supporters – perhaps rightly so in some games – are getting frustrated when their team isn't playing well in the early stages of matches, but rather than be negative they need to help their team against teams like Huddersfield and Swansea who will come looking to aggravate the home crowd and pick up a point.
