Walters: No respite for Hammers

Stoke forward Jon Walters has warned West Ham there will be no end to their difficult start to the season at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday. The Hammers are the only Barclays Premier League team not to register a point from their opening four matches and are bottom of the table. "West Ham haven't had a win yet and are struggling and Stoke is a very difficult place to come to," said the £2.75million summer signing from Ipswich. "They struggled last year and haven't started well so it hasn't surprised anyone. I'm not surprised to see them struggling because anyone can and I'm sure their heads are down at the moment and it won't get any better against us I don't think. "We have to make the stadium like a fortress, giving it everything in our home games and trying to pick up what we can away and the fans play a major part in that."
