Nuno calls for faster start against West Brom
Bowen calls for faster starts before West Brom
Jarrod Bowen says West Ham cannot keep starting slowly as they prepare to face West Brom. In his notes for the club's match programme, the captain says the team need to defend, attack and control games better after the defeat to Southampton.
Bowen says the head coach addressed slow starts with the squad during the week. He wants a win over West Brom to begin a fresh unbeaten run, but says West Ham have to deliver on the pitch rather than talk about where they should be in the Championship table.
