West Ham United fans have told Hammers News the changes they want to see for Sunday\u2019s huge Premier League game against Newcastle. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, West Ham simply have to beat Newcastle to stand any realistic hope of staying in the Premier League this season. <\/p>\n

Three points would take West Ham out of the bottom three until Tuesday night at least, piling a huge amount of pressure on\u00a0relegation rivals Tottenham ahead of their game away at bitter rivals Chelsea. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge game and Hammers News<\/strong> asked its readers and subscribers across our Facebook and TalkingPoints platforms the changes they wanted to see. <\/p>\n

The bulk of them are calling for Nuno to start Callum Wilson. <\/p>\n

West Ham fans call for Nuno to start Callum Wilson against Newcastle <\/h2>\n

The response was fairly unanimous. Most of the replies saw supporters call for Wilson to start the game against his former club. <\/p>\n

One response read: \u201cStart with Taty (Castellanos) and Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cWilson to start.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStart Wilson,\u201d said one supporter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot leave Wilson on the bench and hope scores if he comes on in last 15 mins, that\u2019s too risky,\u201d read one response.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Jean-Clair) Todibo out, go to a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 and bring Wilson in against his old club!\u201d was another comment.<\/p>\n

This subscriber said: \u201cStart Wilson. He\u2019s always a danger up front and when Nuno brings him on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson has scored two last-minute winners for West Ham this season, as well as twice against another of his former clubs in Bournemouth back in November. <\/p>\n

Clearly, it is entirely understandable as to why supporters would be so keen for the\u00a034-year-old, given his proven\u00a0track record\u00a0at Premier League level. <\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning, however, that the England striker has only completed one Premier League game in full this season, and his last start came in mid-March. <\/p>\n

That is not a criticism of a player who has proven he can still score goals at the highest of levels. It is merely an assessment of how he has been used here in east London since joining from Sunday\u2019s opponents Newcastle. <\/p>\n
