West Ham must take the opportunity to send a big message to the Championship when we visit Burnley for a season opener at Turf Moor. The reality is that this is a fixture that on paper will be regarded as one of the toughest we will face this season, with the Clarets undoubtedly a side who is seeking promotion themselves. So although it may not seem ideal, the reality is that the game presents a chance for Nuno & his side to show the rest of the league we really do mean business. It’s a long season and one where West Ham will be seen as a side that sides will love to beat. So to show we are taking this very seriously is vital. It also must be said, that this is a good time to be playing Burnley, with much unrest at the club to present an opportunity. West Ham cannot afford a slow start, we need to hit the ground running and the trip to Turf Moor could well be the ideal destination to get our Championship title campaign up and running.
