Former West Ham United boss Alan Pardew fears time is running out for his old club in their relegation battle.
The Hammers are bottom of the Premier League and six points from safety already as they have terrible goal difference.
Pardew, boss for three years until 2006, said: ?The points total they?ve got is going to make it very difficult, they?ve got a lot of catch-up to do.
?The one difficult thing in the Premier League is catch-up - when I was at Charlton we had 10 points midway through the season.
?We had a brilliant second half of the season but that still wasn?t enough, so you need to get in touching distance of the other teams before halfway.?
Pardew, 49, believes the tight Premier League this season at least gives West Ham the chance for survival.
Pards said: ?As Stoke have proved, with straight wins you can move up to the top 10, and you?ve got to focus on keeping that positive feeling within the group that you?re going to escape.
?Being an ex-West Ham manager I know that fight is at the club and I hope they make it.?
He added on Sky Sports News: ?I do feel West Brom and Blackpool will be involved and there will be four or five teams fighting for their lives.?
