West Ham fans have been struggling this season quite a lot. The last nine games their senior side have gone into have delivered just a single win, and even when the Irons have been given a week off of watching the first team for the international break, the U21s have lost 3-1 to Exeter.
Exeter have a third.

The fans obviously don’t have the same level of involvement and affection for the young side, but they still took interest in their club’s clash with the League Two side in the EFL Trophy, only to be disappointed as their side fell to a 3-1 defeat.
It looks like it will be just more of the same from the Hammers, and when they come back from international duty and the first team are back in action the next game that Manuel Pellegrini’s side face is a home tie with Tottenham, and that certainly won’t be easy either, even if Spurs are also in horrible form.
Should Nathan Holland be given a run in the first team?
Yes of course! He can't make us worse
Not yet! He's not ready

I watched most of the game and they distinctively look similar to the first team

Can’t be in worse form than the normal team

It’s like watching the 1st team play!! They must have been watching how noble and the team play week in and week out and tried to copy them!! Done a great job at it I’d say!!

It’s all Pellegrini’s fault

The Hammers are desperate to see a win, even if it comes from the U21s, although one against Tottenham when senior club football returns would go down very, very well.
