West Ham United Under-18s suffered a losing start to the FA Premier Academy League season, going down to a 3-2 defeat at West Bromwich Albion. The Hammers started sluggishly in the Midlands, falling 2-0 down before staging an admirable fightback through goals from Matthias Fanimo and Danny Subuola either side of half-time. Unfortunately, the Baggies regained their composure and netted a late winner to leave Academy Director Tony Carr feeling frustrated.

The England U17 international struck with three clinical finishes, while Daniel Subuola was also on target. An own-goal from Boro No3 Adam Reach completed the Hammers' scoring at Little Heath.

Academy Director Tony Carr has expressed his pleasure after watching his Under-18s keep a second consecutive clean sheet in the goalless FA Premier Academy League draw at Coventry City. West Ham United's youngsters followed up a 3-0 home win over MK Dons with a resilient display in the Midlands, and could even have snatched all three points with a little more luck in front of goal.

West Ham United U18s suffered their third FA Premier Academy League loss in five matches with a 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace at Little Heath. The Eagles scored two late goals to condemn the Hammers to defeat, leaving Academy Director Tony Carr frustrated. "We were disappointed with the result against Crystal Palace the performance, in terms of keeping the ball and having the lion's share of possession, was not bad, but we didn't take advantage of the situations we had. We squandered some good opportunities. "The goals we had scored against us came late in the game on the counter-attack. There are lots of lessons to be learned. "I have to say that Crystal Palace worked very hard for their win. They were very well organised and ten or eleven men behind the ball at every opportunity. They had a great team ethic in terms of making sure their team didn't concede. They denied us time and space."

Sebastian Lletget scored his first goal in West Ham United colours but it was not enough to stop the Hammers going down to a 3-2 defeat.
The American youngster scored with a well-taken finish in the dying moments of the Premier Academy League encounter at Staplewood but by then the Hammers were 3-1 down. In fact, the Saints had raced into a three-goal lead inside the opening half-hour before Dylan Tombides pulled one back from close range just before the interval.

A youthful West Ham United side lost out to Ipswich Town with Blair Turgott grabbing a late consolation.
Tony Carr has seen many of his second-years promoted to reserve-team duty of late - a number of them impressed in the 1-0 win at Liverpool on Tuesday - meaning he has had to rely heavily on the younger prospects. As such, Ipswich just had the edge at Little Heath, scoring a goal in each half through Byron Lawrence before England U17 attacker Turgott cut the deficit late on.

West Ham United Under-18s suffered a disappointing 4-0 FA Premier Academy League defeat by Fulham.
The Hammers were two goals down by half-time at Little Heath, with the Cottagers adding two more after the break.
Academy Director Tony Carr said his young players would have to learn from their mistakes if they want to put an end to their losing run at Charlton Athletic on 30 October.
"We had our moments in the game - we should have had a penalty and the referee apologised to me afterwards for disallowing a goal for offside that he should have allowed," said Carr.
"The main problem we have is that we are letting in goals far too easily. We started OK and could have scored, but then we conceded. We looked like getting back into the game and then we conceded a second goal. Every time you concede a goal, it's back to square one.

A young Under-18 side went down 4-0 away to Charlton Athletic on Saturday morning.
Sergio Sanchez captained the side and Callum McNaughton continued his comeback from a knee injury but otherwise it was a youthful side that lost out at at Sparrows Lane. The Academy have now lost five matches in a row and will hope to pick up before the FA Youth Cup campaign begins in mid-December.

Academy Director Tony Carr has praised the spirit of his Under-18s after they ended a five-match losing streak with a stirring 3-2 victory over Chelsea. The Hammers had plummeted to eighth in the ten-team FA Premier Academy League Group A table after being beaten by Crystal Palace, Southampton, Ipswich Town, Fulham and Charlton Athletic.
Indeed, having been defeated 4-0 by both the Cottagers and Addicks in their previous two fixtures, the last thing the West Ham youngsters needed was to concede the first goal to Chelsea at Little Heath. That nightmare scenario is exactly what played out, however, as Todd Kane gave the visitors an early lead. Undeterred by the setback, though, the Hammers took control of the game and played some of their best football of the season. By half-time, goals from Dylan Tombides and Dominic Vose had put Carr's side in front.
The second half followed a similar pattern, only for Chelsea to equalise through Ismail Seremba. Again, West Ham refused to lie down and substitute Sebastian Lletget secured a thoroughly-deserved success with just 12 minutes remaining.

Goals from Danny Purdy and Robert Hall saw West Ham United U18s pick up their third consecutive FA Premier Academy League victory at Portsmouth.
Having defeated Arsenal and Chelsea in their previous two league matches, the Hammers recorded another victory on the south coast.
Republic of Ireland youth international Purdy completed a fine move involving George Moncur and Hall to put West Ham ahead on the half-hour mark.
England U17 striker Hall then netted his fourth goal of the season after an hour, converting from the penalty spot after he himself had been fouled.
The Hammers enjoyed much the better of the game on Friday and could have won by a far wider margin had it not been for wayward finishing and dogged defending from the hosts.

Academy Director Tony Carr was all smiles after seeing his West Ham United U18s defeat Aldershot Town 5-0 in the FA Youth Cup third round.
George Moncur, a Doug Bergqvist own-goal, Sebastian Lletget, Dylan Tombides and substitute Daniel Purdy were all on target as the Hammers cruised into the last 32.
On a freezing night at the Boleyn Ground, West Ham could have added more goals to their tally, with Robert Hall hitting the post and Shots goalkeeper Jordan Clement making a number of fine saves.
To their credit, Football League Youth Alliance side Aldershot did not give up, forcing Deniz Mehmet into two late saves, while Paco Craig was also forced to clear one effort off the line.
