West Ham with a less than stellar opening of their promotion run

Wolves tied at home in their opener as well. Not a good start for either.

As a West Ham guy if you hold told me a 2-2 draw @Burnley to start the season was going to happen - I wouldn't have thought it was awful. I mean, West Ham took care of Burnley in the Premier League, but as the first game of the year, on the road, against another team that is probably favored to be in the promotion battle, a draw doesn't seem that bad.

With that said, that's not how it exactly played out. West Ham dropping points giving up super late goals has plagued them for years. More wins have become draws and draws become losses due to ~80'+ goals than I care to remember. Different league, same West Ham. And quite frankly, West Ham is lucky Burnley's Flemming didn't score 4 goals by himself.

It's not a great mental start to the campaign. But I do think West Ham will do fine against most of the table.
