Nuno Espirito Santo Urges West Ham to Improve Game Starts

Nuno Espirito Santo, the head coach of West Ham United, has reiterated the importance of starting matches strongly as his team prepares to face Lincoln City on Wednesday. Currently sitting third in the Championship, West Ham is four points behind leaders Swansea.

The Hammers have struggled with slow starts, conceding the first goal in their last three matches across all competitions. They managed to draw against QPR and Millwall but were eliminated from the EFL Cup by Fulham.

Espirito Santo expressed urgency in addressing this issue, stating the need for a better performance from the outset. The team will also assess the fitness of several players, including the return of midfielder Mohamadou Kante after suspension, while Keiber Lamadrid remains out due to injury.
