Hammers conquer “bog” average build-up

David Moyes has justifiably been talking up the Hammers tearaway start to the season.

The squad has been in fantastic form with three wins and a draw in their opening games after a crowded last season which finished on June 7.

Moyes in celebration mood

A couple of months later they were back and performing in fine fashion despite which in all honesty wasn’t the best pre-season which even saw them crossing the world to play Down Under.

Moyes declared: ‘We only finished on June 7, we gave the boys extra time off.

‘We had booked a trip to Australia which meant we only had three days back before we flew to Australia. So in truth our pre-season was really bog average compared to what you’d maybe expect. But in football you never know how it’s going to work.

‘We got some players in a bit later but the boys that have come in have been great and the way we have started has given us real confidence – we have won a couple of really big games.’
