Scott Parker ‘hurt’ as defensive West Ham boss says the fans have it wrong

West Ham United head coach Scott Parker stated he was hurt by supporters chanting that his squad was not fit to wear the shirt following a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. The result marked the Hammers' fourth loss in 15 Championship fixtures. While traveling fans questioned the team's commitment at full-time, Parker defended his players and insisted they remain fully committed.

Parker noted that he has only led one brief training session since taking charge, arguing that deep-rooted issues need time to resolve. Club captain Jarrod Bowen also highlighted the upcoming training period at Rush Green as an opportunity for Parker to establish standard expectations and begin rebuilding the squad's performance.
