Heading into the three-week international break, the Hammers have rounded off their eight-seven games with four wins, three draws and one dreaded loss, which places West Ham in second place behind Swansea, who currently have 17 points compared to our 15.

However, diving into the international break, eight West Ham United players have been called up for international duty, those being: Mads Hermansen for Denmark, Manor Solomon for Israel, Edvin Austbø for Norway’s U21s, and our joint top scorer this campaign, Konstantinos Mavropanos for Greece.

The 90 minutes against Millwall ultimately went as many would have expected in a derby. Four goals, long-range strikes, a red card and even a spitting accusation.

During the match, Millwall’s goalkeeper, Filip Marschall, accused Argentine forward Taty Castellanos of spitting and ran to the linesman claiming that he had been spat on. At the time of the match, a replay was displayed but admittedly, was too poor quality to see anything.

The round of the most anticipated derby of the season resulted in a draw and ultimately was a game of two halves between the sides. It’s not shameful to admit that Millwall totally and utterly dominated the Hammers in the first spell - taking the fact that it was against Millwall out of the equation, it was still one of the lamest halves the Hammers have had in a long while.

Millwall: Marschall, Osei-Tutu, Sturge, Cooper (C), Taylor, Arconte, Neghli, Dykes, Metcalfe, Sykes, Mazou-Sacko
Subs: Crocombe, Servais, Baggott, Kelly, Lisbie, Batth, Cuddle, Doughty, Issoufou

West Ham: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Morato, Kilman, Mavropanos, Mukasa, Engels, Solomon, Bowen (C), Taty, Piroe
Subs: Herrick, Kante, Pablo, Magassa, Austbø, Scarles, Orford, Ajala, Golambeckis

West Ham United have made another addition to their backroom staff but this time to their academy. Whilst a formal announcement hasn’t been made, Lukasz Fabiański has joined the academy coaching team in a part-time role as a goalkeeper coach.

The former player who spent eight years as a Hammer has decided that he wants to take his first step into coaching, taking a part-time role in the academy, helping the future generation of goalkeepers.

He said: “I started working as a goalkeepers coach at the West Ham academy. It brings me a lot of joy to be back on the pitch.”

After making it to the round of 32, West Ham are officially out of the Carabao Cup after a 3-2 defeat to Fulham because of a late goal from Oscar Bobb, who capitalised on a defensive mistake.

Nuno Espírito Santo has a track record of performing well and putting out stronger squads for the cup competitions, so seeing a fairly strong lineup tonight wasn’t at all surprising.

Unfortunately, three defensive mistakes led to all three of Fulham’s goals, with the first coming through no one tracking the runner in the middle, leaving a certain goal for Muniz.

West Ham: Herrick, Kilman (C), Mavropanos, Walker-Peters, Morato, Mukasa, Engels, Orford, Kante, Pablo, Ajala
Subs: Hermansen, Solomon, Piroe, Taty, Bowen, Magassa, Scarles, Golambeckis, Mayers

Fulham: Lecomte, Castagne, Anderson, Cuenca, Robinson, Reed (C), Larsson, Smith-Rowe, Kevin, Muniz, Palacios
Subs: Leno, Affengruber, Bassey, Berge, Charles, Manuel Ángel, King, Bobb, Gonzalo

West Ham United seem to have gotten their cavalry sorted. The starting squad as well as the options available off the bench have bolstered our squad massively and helped us have the edge in games that we’ve needed, such as in our 3-0 victory over Derby.

However, one point of trouble is, do West Ham almost have too many good players?

Looking at the bench on Friday evening, it was: Herrick, Walker-Peters, Kante, Pablo, Scarles, Austbø, Golambeckis, Orford, Ajala

At last! It’s been 5263 days since the Hammers scored six goals in a match, mesmerising. It was West Ham’s 6-0 victory over Brighton in 2012 where Vaz Te scored a hat-trick, with a phenomenal acrobatic goal and it was also the season we got promoted… foreshadowing… it can’t be!

Over the past three matches, there’s been a growing feeling that the side has been beginning to bond together and has started to feel as one with each other on the pitch, Nuno has officially brought this side together as one and has topped it off on an emphatic Friday night.

West Ham: Hermansen, Veltman, Mavropanos, Kilman, Morato, Piroe, Engels, Mukasa, Solomon, Bowen (C), Taty
Subs: Herrick, Walker-Peters, Kante, Pablo, Scarles, Austbø, Golambeckis, Orford, Ajala

Wrexham: Patterson, Vyner, Worrall, Doyle, Imray Jr, Dobson, Whitman (C), Ekomie, O’Brien, O’Hare, Smith
Subs: Ward, Hyam, A. James, Kabore, Longman, M. James, Broadhead, Windass, Moore
