West Ham Reserves v. Aston Villa

Although the reserves lost 2-1 vs. Aston Villa, Kevin Keen fielded a young side that included First teamers Jimmy Walker and "Johnny Pants" with recent Academy graduates Kyel Reid and Tony Stokes as well as many current Academy trainees.

Reid hit a 25 yarder in the game as he puts his bid in to help replace an injured Kieron Dyer. I know Curbs has a ton of money behnd him at this time, but I can't believe that he wont give Pantsil a try instead of buying more players that will undoubtedly get injured...

To update a previous post, David Blackmore was on the bench and further investigating shows that his loan to Crawley was just to train with the first team before the season.

Hopefully the reserves can catch some wins this years and not have a repeat performance of the dreadful season of last.
