AdminWest Ham United have made a blistering start to life in the Championship, with their attacking form already putting them among the most prolific sides in the competition’s modern history.
The Hammers have found the net 22 times in their opening eight league matches, underlining the attacking intent that has been a major feature of their campaign so far.
Since the EFL was rebranded in 2004/05, only one team has scored more goals than West Ham at this stage of a Championship season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers managed 23 goals after their first eight matches in the 2008/09 campaign, leaving West Ham just one goal short of that record.
The statistic highlights just how impressive the London club’s attacking output has been since dropping into the second tier.
Their goalscoring numbers have provided plenty of entertainment for supporters and helped establish them as one of the division’s most dangerous attacking teams.
With 22 goals already on the board, West Ham are averaging almost three goals per game during their opening eight fixtures.
Maintaining anything close to that rate would give the Hammers a significant attacking platform as the season progresses.
The club will now be hoping their impressive goalscoring form continues when the Championship campaign resumes, with the team looking to build momentum and keep pace with the strongest attacking records of the modern era.
For now, only Wolves’ 2008/09 tally of 23 goals stands ahead of them after eight games.
