The OS, of course, overstates the case every time it reports on anything like this and it is amusing to read in their report that "The Shots are also on a roll in the Carling Cup" as if that fact may have passed West Ham fans by! The wording is also a little suspect when we are told that Olly Lee "continues to pick up valuable League Two experience" as that suggests that Lee will be plying his trade in that division into the longer term future. I would suggest that he "continues to pick up valuable experience" would read better.
How many of these will eventually feature in the first team at West Ham? That's anybody's guess and, in a way, it is disappointing that they are not considered worth a place in our Championship squad but, given the deals done in the window, I suppose that is no surprise. We have a proper first team squad at last and hopefully we now have a pipeline feeding through for the years to come.

Rather disappointed actually with the failure of Spence and Lee the elder and others not looking like quite making it after looking promising but lets hope that the Under 18s who are looking especially useful can do better over the next few years, we are going to need a couple of break throughs in the period at least I feel.
Its fair to say u beat spurs 2nds as the real u18 team were in the next gen comp,beating inter 7-1 but hay don't let that get in the way of a story hf
