West Ham lost 4-0 to rivals Spurs at
The Hammers squad has admittedly been affected by injuries this season however that excuse cannot be used to justify the horrific defensive frailties that have been exposed this week.
Speaking following the game Curbs admitted that the owners may start to get impatient with him.
"I think they are realistic about it, but we'll have to see on that score because it's a results business,
"Up until this week we hadn't been too bad, so we'll have to bounce back.
"We're in football and nothing surprises anybody, but I would have thought they would understand. They are realistic about what has gone on. They get the update every Monday of the injury situation.
"Any other team that has had six or seven out every week would find it difficult. You can see the difference in teams with settled sides."
