Ashley Fletcher is demonstrating much patience and is hoping for more rewards as the Irons go in their relentless hunt for points.
The young striker has looked good whenever we have had the chance to see him and was composed and mobile in his outing late against Stoke City.
Now he wants more saying: “I didn’t expect to be this involved but every opportunity I get, I try and make an impact on the pitch.
“I am hungry to do more, I am hungry to help this team and I am hungry to score more goals. Hopefully I will get more opportunities.
“The manager told me to make an impact when I came on against Stoke and I like to think that I did that.
“It is a tough league and it will be an interesting couple of weeks, but we need to start picking up points.”
Fletcher has been annoyed that the Hammers seemingly get punished at the first lapse of concentration saying: “It has been the story of our season so far. We play really well and then a lapse of concentration or something doesn’t go for us and we get punished.
“But that is the Premier League and no game is easy in the top flight as we have found.
“We are working hard in training and the results will definitely turn around soon.
“We will be looking to bounce back against Tottenham after the international break and we have a run of fixtures that we need to start taking points from.”
He is targeting the White Hart Lane game saying:“This is a game where we want to come away with the three points. As soon as I joined West Ham I was made aware that Tottenham is one game that the fans look forward to.
“We will be doing everything we can to win and hopefully it will propel us up the league.
“There will be a lot of good players on show and a lot of English talent so it will be an exciting game for everyone.”
You can’t help but like this kid, he is hungry and unafraid hope he gets his start against the Spuds COYI!!!
