Callum Marshall proud of West Ham U21 goalscoring form

Callum Marshall is delighted with his form for West Ham U21s.

The Northern Irish youngster has scored 12 goals in nine games so far.

Last season, I was scoring a lot of goals," he told whufc.com. But whenever I went up a level [playing with the U21s] I found it hard physically.

I have been working on that a lot so now, it feels like it did last year. Yes, games are still hard games, but we have made a lot of chances for the attackers to get in behind and we are scoring quite a few goals and winning games.

I just want to win every game. That's the type of person I am. I don't want to play for a draw.

Against Manchester City, I didn't really want to speak to anyone for about ten minutes. I was so disappointed because I thought we should have won the game."

Marshall says he has appreciated being involved with the first team on matchday.

It gives you a glimpse of what there is to offer if you can make it to that next level," Marshall added. It was an eye-opener and hopefully, I can play there as much as possible.

We have played at some top stadiums last season with the U18s which I think will stand us all in good stead [should we get a chance to play for the first team]. We didn't bottle it on big occasions, especially in the FA Youth Cup final at Arsenal.

This year, we have made a good start. I had a good pre-season but's not just about the goals, I am happy to be getting the assists as well. I have been playing well, but I've got to keep those numbers up this season."
