The international break has given us the perfect chance to reflect on the first couple of months of the season.


The defeat to Palace was frustration but not the end of the world and the boys will no doubt be up for putting it right when they visit Goodison Park this Saturday.


But while James Jones and guest Danny Lewis discussed our chances against Everton this weekend, a large part of this week’s show was dedicated to West Ham’s youth players, who have been very impressive of late.


A 16-game unbeaten came to an end with a defeat to Cheltenham in the EFL Trophy, and the Development Squad’s star players are really getting the recognition they deserve. 

Anthony Scully won the PL2 Player of the Month for September, Nathan Holland is being touted for a first-team call-up this season and Conor Coventry is, hopefully, on the verge of a well deserved improved contract. 

And while all that goes on, Declan Rice is representing England and Grady Diangana is smashing it for West Brom in the Championship.


So, is the Academy of Football back? We got club legend Tony Carr on the show to find out what he thinks of the academy’s recent success and it’s fair to say he’s very excited for the future.


Also on this week’s show, the boys discussed Fabianski’s injury woes and what to expect at Everton this weekend.
