‘First team next year’ – These West Ham fans react to Tuesday outing from loanee ace
West Ham fans have taken to social media to heap praise on Nathan Holland for his performance for Oxford United on Tuesday evening.
The winger helped his loan club to a 5-0 win over Wimbledon with brace of goals, and it was enough to get Hammers everywhere drooling.
The youngster was shipped out last month in the hope that he could take his game to the next level by finally being granted the opportunity to flourish in a first team environment, and at this present moment in time, you would have to say that he is succeeding.
Last night he looked especially sharp, completing six successful dribbles and executing 19 of his 26 attempted passes, as per Wyscout, but what will please fans in east London is the manner in which he took his two goals,
One was a wonderfully cultured finish that saw him pick up the ball with confidence before the keeper showed his hand and went to ground slightly, allowing Holland to scoop one over him and into the top corner.
The other showed a much more instinctive side, as he gambled on a poor piece of defensive positioning and slotted home to reap the rewards.
On the basis of another fine outing from the wide man, there is plenty to be getting excited about when he returns to the Irons.
Here are some of the best reactions from fans on social media…
