BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Chris from Tilbury asked: Hi Phil, bearing in mind Graham Potter has literally been hamstrung by having no forwards available how do you think he's started at West Ham? Our away form is solid but at home it's still very Moyes-like.

Phil answered: Very early days and Graham Potter is a builder rather than a quick-fix manager. I was not expecting him to make an instant impact when measured by huge changes and results.

I get the feeling this will be a steady process as this is how he works – although I'm sure he wouldn't mind a run of victories.

I think we will see the real Potter effect at the start of next season when he has had time to work in the summer market.
