Disappointing Start
West Ham have made a disappointing start to the Championship season following relegation from the Premier League. After squandering a two-goal lead in their opening draw against Burnley, the Hammers lost 2-1 at home to Charlton on Saturday.
Former Peterborough United and Hull City striker – and Final Score pundit – Aaron McLean:
“I look at West Ham and think last season they were relegated because they weren’t good enough. They have come into the Championship, they almost need to hit rock bottom. I think they were very uninspiring against Burnley in their first game, but really that wasn’t a test of what the Championship is going to be about.
Charlton “was a real test against an established Championship team who will fight for every ball. I know West Ham missed a penalty to get a point, but if you are West Ham at home in front of 62,000, you shouldn’t need a penalty to try to salvage something.
“There needs to be huge improvements in the mentality and maybe the personnel if West Ham hope to have a good season.”
Millwall, West Brom, and Charlton are the only teams in the division which have not lost a point in the first two games. The Hammers sit in 16th place of the 24 Championship teams.
