West Ham boss David Moyes admits some of his newly inherited U23s have impressed him in training.

Moyes insists everyone has a clean slate after replacing Slaven Bilic last week.

On the club's youngsters, he said: "They've trained with us every day since I've been here because the numbers are down and we wanted to train with decent size numbers. The U23s have come up to Rush Green to train with us and I hope that's the way it will stay.

"I've been told about one or two and a couple of others have caught my eye. Really those young boys need to be given opportunities."

Moyes, meanwhile, says the first goal is to take the club clear of the dropzone.

"For me the first thing is to make sure there's no chance that we are involved at the bottom end of the table. Realistically I'm hoping I can win more games than people expect me to do. And I can only do that by getting the players onside and making sure they are doing the right things.

"They're talking a good game, the players. They're telling me exactly what they want. They're telling me they want to work hard, be organised and be disciplined. I hope once I've done that they won't be complaining!"
