West Ham's Slow Starts Addressed in Team Meeting

West Ham United's captain Jarrod Bowen disclosed that the team held a meeting this week to address their tendency to start matches slowly. This discussion was prompted by the team's performance, where they have fallen behind in the first half of nine out of their 15 matches this season.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo emphasized the need for faster starts before their upcoming match against West Brom. Bowen expressed the team's eagerness to recover from a recent defeat to Southampton, acknowledging that they need to improve their opening performances to meet expectations.

Bowen noted the talent within the squad and stressed the importance of translating that potential into on-field performance, indicating that external opinions are secondary to their results.
