Howes the Hero in Latest Lion Taming!

Sam Howes: Lion Tamer
After all the irritation of another tiresome Goodison experience, Hammers fans will be cheered by the performance of our development squad who thumped lowly Millwall 8-7 (after penalties) in the 'Premier' League cup clash held behind closed doors earlier this week. 


Oops!
The two teams battled to a 0-0 score at the end of 90 minutes. Fred Onyedinma then fired The Lions ahead in extra time But almost immediately West Ham levelled through the ever-rising star that is Jaanai Gordon.


Pardon me, Sir!
In a thrilling finale, Hammers keeper Sam Howes emerged as the hero finally breaking the deadlock by saving the sixteenth spot kick of the penalty shootout!


Get outta my back garden you ruffians
The outcome was hardly surprising given that at full squad level West Ham are well ahead in matches played over the years with 9 wins, 11 draws and 5 loses in 25 fixtures. A full list of the fixtures is provided below for those Hammers who feel the need to luxuriate in the moment!

For poor Millwall this signals the latest disappointment in what looks like becoming a nightmare season for the club as they seem destined to face the drop to football's third tier where they will likely join tragic Sheffield United and possibly be accompanied in the drop by Wigan.

  1. Didn't they beat us on penalties in the League Cup in September. Think Valencia missed his pen.
