Find out more about our Stay Tuned fundraising campaign with CALM here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/analytics-united-stay-tuned-2026

Cal and Darcy break down West Ham 6-0 Wrexham, talking how Nuno's side completely pulled apart Phil Parkinson's promotion hopefuls. They discuss the growing partnerships on the pitch, with Piroe and Castellanos running the show up front and Morato and Solomon pulling the strings on the left. They analyse West Ham's press so far this season, looking into the Hammers' data and comparing it to a high-pressing Championship favourite in Middlesbrough and, after 3 wins in 6 days, ask whether Nuno can coach a dominant side in the Championship in 2026.
