Aaron McLean’s EFL takeaways: West Ham lose to Charlton and who are Championship’s team to beat?

West Ham have made a disappointing start to the Championship season following relegation from the Premier League. After squandering a two-goal lead in their opening draw against Burnley, the Hammers lost 2-1 at home to Charlton on Saturday.

McLean: “I look at West Ham and think last season they were relegated because they weren’t good enough. They have come into the Championship, they almost need to hit rock bottom. I think they were very uninspiring against Burnley in their first game, but really that wasn’t a test of what the Championship is going to be about.

“Today was a real test against an established Championship team who will fight for every ball. I know West Ham missed a penalty to get a point, but if you are West Ham at home in front of 62,000, you shouldn’t need a penalty to try to salvage something.

“There needs to be huge improvements in the mentality and maybe the personnel if West Ham hope to have a good season.”
