Obinna asks Hammers fans for patience

Victor Obinna has urged patience from West Ham fans after the club's poor start to the season. The Hammers are yet to register a point this campaign following defeats to Aston Villa, Bolton and Manchester United. Manager Avram Grant now faces the daunting task of hosting Barclays Premier League champions Chelsea on Saturday as he looks to quash speculation about his future at the Hammers by dragging the club off the bottom of the table. Obinna, who signed on a season-long loan from Inter Milan last month, says it is only a matter of time before the team start winning games, and maintains that pulling off a shock result against their London rivals on Saturday is a possibility. "The manager is working on that and we just need a little time for the players to come together," the Nigerian told his club's official website. We need to work with each other and understand our strengths. Why can't we do something against Chelsea? "Everything is possible in football. You can never tell. Anything can happen in 90 minutes."
