West Ham are looking like a side that is ready to starting imposing and dominating the Championship this season.
That is the viewpoint of BBC Final Score pundit Sam Parkin, who was speaking after our Hammers reclaimed top spot in the league with a 6-0 thrashing of Wrexham on Friday night.
It was a ruthless display and one that has sent a message to the Championship and this was echoed by Parkin, who said that West Ham’s options are proving to be too much for others to cope with.
“West Ham are really hitting their stride and have surged to the top of the Championship after winning their last four matches, including walloping Wrexham 6-0 on Friday,” stated Parkin.
“They’ve scored 20 goals in just seven games and their attacking players are coming to the fore.
“In the early part of the season, they probably had a few defensive issues and their forward players papered over the cracks to a certain degree, but on Friday night it all came together.
“Jarrod Bowen said after the game how important it was to get the transfer window closed so you know exactly who’s going to be there.
“Ultimately when you can get Manor Solomon, Jarrod Bowen, Valentin Castellanos and Joel Piroe in the same Championship side, they’re going to cause havoc.
“Those were the ingredients on Friday night. Wrexham were bad, but I don’t think we should get too carried away by Wrexham’s performance when you consider the embarrassment of riches that West Ham have got.
“It’s looking pretty ominous already for the rest of the Championship when you consider the amount of goals they’ve scored across the last four games.”
West Ham next take on rivals Millwall in the league, although not before another London derby in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday when we take on Fulham.
It’s a week that West Ham can really ramp things up a notch ahead of the international break.
