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.

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.

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.

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.

The Hammers headed to Motspur Park on Saturday in high spirits, having defeated Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth in the FA Premier Academy League before dismissing Aldershot Town 5-0 in the FA Youth Cup third round in mid-week.
Academy Director Tony Carr MBE was naturally delighted to record another success, with captain Sergio Sanchez scoring the all-important goal with 20 minutes remaining.
Carr made six changes to the side that defeated Aldershot, resting the likes of goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet, full-back Callum Driver, centre-back Paco Craig and midfielders George Moncur and Sebastian Lletget. However, Youth Cup goal-scorers Dylan Tombides and Daniel Purdy were included in the starting XI.

Tony Carr has praised the spirit of his players after West Ham United U18s struck twice in the final five minutes to overcome Portsmouth.
The Hammers' five-match FA Premier Academy League winning run looked in jeopardy as the match entered its closing stages at Little Heath, only for goals from Robert Hall and Blair Turgott to score the hosts a thrilling 3-2 victory.
The success came as a welcome boost to Carr and his squad following last Wednesday's cruel FA Youth Cup fourth-round defeat by Manchester United.
On Saturday, Portsmouth went in 2-1 up at half-time, with Jack Powell scoring West Ham's first equaliser from Turgott's pass.
Despite dominating the second half for long periods, it looked like the home side would be forced to settle for a defeat before Hall and Turgott struck in dramatic fashion.

West Ham United Under-18s were denied a seventh consecutive FA Premier Academy League victory as Southampton scored twice in the closing five minutes to score a dramatic 4-3 win.
The Hammers looked set to score a notable success over the Group A leaders when strikes from Robert Hall and Blair Turgott and an own-goal put them 3-1 up with half-an-hour remaining.
However, the Saints launched a determined late comeback at Little Heath, taking advantage of some loose defending to score three times to leave Tony Carr wondering what might have been.
"We should have won the game - we were 2-0 and 3-1 up but just blew it in the last 25 minutes," said the Academy Director. "We made mistakes and got tired. All credit to Southampton, because they kept going and we gifted them their last two goals in the final five minutes.

The Hammers made it seven wins from eight league matches with an outstanding display in difficult windy conditions at London Colney and fully deserved a convincing success.
West Ham, who had conceded a two-goal advantage in losing 4-3 to league leaders Southampton the previous Saturday, were strong at the back this time around and never looked like relinquishing their lead at any stage once Fanimo had put his side in front after half-an-hour.
The win also saw January capture from Dulwich Hamlet, 17-year-old striker Paul McCallum, make his debut for the club.

West Ham United continue to climb the FA Premier Academy League Group A table following a 3-2 victory over Norwich City.
The Hammers are up to fourth in the standings after recording their sixth win in seven matches courtesy of goals from Robert Hall and Matthias Fanimo and a maiden strike from January signing Paul McCallum.
West Ham moved within two points of new leaders Arsenal and second-placed Southampton - who were beaten by south coast rivals Portsmouth - with another entertaining display at Little Heath.
England Under-17 international forward Hall put the hosts ahead when the home side broke out from a Norwich corner. Blair Turgott ran from one penalty area to the other with the ball before slipping the ball to Hall, who lifted his shot over the goalkeeper and into the net.
The second goal also arrived before half-time when Hall chased a long clearance out of defence before laying the ball into the path of Fanimo, who finished confidently from just inside the penalty area.
Norwich halved the deficit before the break, but West Ham were not to be denied their seventh league win of the season.

Despite dominating much of the first half and creating numerous chances, Academy Director Tony Carr's side were undone by two second-half goals from the Eagles.
Second-year scholar Sergio Sanchez (pictured) scored West Ham's goal, but the Hammers missed out on the chance to take over top spot in Group A by falling to a disappointing defeat in south London.

Injuries and a dogged defensive performance saw Ipswich Town sneak a 1-0 FA Premier Academy League victory over West Ham United.
Academy Director Tony Carr watched his side dominate the match at Ipswich's Playford Road training centre, only for an early goal to leave the Hammers with nothing to show for their efforts.
Carr chose to blood a number of first-year scholars and schoolboy Elliot Lee, and the young starters responded with a spirited display in Suffolk.
To add injury to the insult of defeat, West Ham also lost two centre-backs, with Kenzer Lee being hurt in the pre-match warm-up and Declan Hunt suffering a blow to the head during the opening half.
