James Ward-Prowse says West Ham must reflect over Summer if they’re to return to fighting for Europe.

From pretty much every angle, bar from the fact they didn’t get relegated, it was an awful season to support West Ham.

With little to no transfer budget until players are sold, fans aren’t particularly positive about the coming campaign either.

However, James Ward-Prowse has tried to bring back hope to supporters in a recent interview by reminding them of the glory days of Europe.

“We know it’s not been anywhere near the level that we know we can produce,” the midfielder admitted when speaking to Sky Sports. “In the years gone by the club’s been used to European triumphs and the campaigns they’ve had.”

“So for us not to be able to do that or deliver that again is disappointing. I’m sure we’ll have a period of reflection over the summer to look at what we can improve for next season.”

“We’ve been in the games but it’s just fallen on the wrong side for us. I think that’s been down to some of the finer details in those games. I think there are a lot of things that we can improve. But I think if we can focus and hone in on those fine details, that can make a big difference.”

“The manager will be keen to have a pre-season with us, really put things across to us and work in a way that he wants to. So I’m confident we will improve. It’s up to us to put those actions into place on the pitch.”
