Teams need experience during a relegation dogfight, according to the pundits, who have seen how important it is to have a wise head in the squad.That is the case to certain degree with West Ham, who rely on Scott Parker to pull them through, with Matthew Upson doing everything he can to battle an Achilles problem to get himself on the field.
But there is also room for raw talent and a fearlessness that comes from a younger player.
Zavon Hines offers those qualities - and a burst of genuine pace - to manager Avram Grant as he manager tries to lift the club out of the bottom three of the Premier League and towards safety.
Hines, 22, was rated highly enough by Grant to be included in his 25-man squad ahead of Benni McCarthy, who has been struggling with his weight, but would give Grant the experience that managers often crave.
Grant has been impressed with Hines's ability to frighten defenders with his direct running, and he has kept him involved on the fringes of the first team throughout the season.
