Captain Mark Noble was the main voice as the West Ham players met on Monday to discuss the club’s crisis.

Noble led the meeting at the Rush Green training ground as the squad shared ideas on how to improve with West Ham 16th in the table, a point ahead of second-from-bottom Bournemouth, following their poor performance in the 3-0 defeat by Brighton on Friday.

It is understood that Noble, who has been at West Ham since the age of 15, was frank and forthright in the meeting which lasted just 10 minutes.

The midfielder missed the last game but is expected to return for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham. He is set to be one of a number of changes made by Slaven Bilic, who will rest players with the crunch League match at Crystal Palace on Saturday in mind.

Should West Ham lose at Selhurst Park, with a performance similar to the one against Brighton, co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold could be forced into taking action.
