Mentioned this to a west ham following friend of mine. According to him, there's injury problems at upton park at the moment, and Cullen was promoted to make up the numbers, and was not expected to appear today.
Having said that, he is well thought of and could appear next season.

Started again and finished the game in a 2-0 win v Southend. Bradford with three wins in four now coming out of the pack and are three points off the last playoff spot presently.

Probably a good idea for him to keep some continuity in his young career. Could increase his chances of a permanent move to Bradford if it appears he's not in the manager's plans on his return to West Ham in the summer

West Ham United can confirm that Reece Burke and Josh Cullen have joined Championship club Bolton Wanderers on a five-month loan agreement.

Its great for Cullen and a new 3 year deal. Hopefully Rice can get a loan but with Oxford on loan as well as now Burke and cullen Rice might end up been 5th choice centre half/4th choice defensive mid which might mean he wouldnt get to go out on loan but wouldnt have much football either

Was hoping Bilic had immediate plans for Cullen as he was getting a lot of game-time pre-season but regular football in the Championship is still very promising - gives the management team the opportunity to compare him more directly with some of our other up-and-comers

samhaydenjr

After a somewhat underwhelming loan period to Bolton, with only 9 starts, good to see that Cullen went straight into the West Ham side for today's FA Cup draw with Shrewsbury, receiving a praise from David Moyes and a kick in the face: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018/0107/931618-ireland-cullen-hammers/. Would be terrific if he could join Declan Rice in establishing himself in the side for League games. If he can, then he should definitely be in the frame for upcoming friendlies

He didn't play badly despite losing a tooth in the process - you can actually see it flying out. Stopped the bleeding, changed his strip and went back out on the pitch. BBC commentators were impressed.

Olé Olé

08/01/2018, 10:37 AM

If the fans forums are anything to go by, he's earned himself a lot of goodwill amongst the West Ham faithful. Not many players would be mad keen to get back out onto the field after getting two teeth kicked out. And, apparently, his efforts were amplified by Kouyate appearing completely disinterested beside him.

Bodes well for Cullen when the fans and the manager are happy with him. He's in with a shot of being involved for the rest of the season.

Played the full game as West Ham crashed out against Wigan: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42756107 - I caught the second half and unfortunately he was fairly anonymous with only a handful of touches, mostly just moving the ball on with one aimless cross. MOyes had given a bunch of youngsters a shot and the commentator said that none of them had really stepped up. Hopefully he'll still get a chance in the league at some point soon and takes it.

So a bit of a toothless performance!

There was a rumour online before the cup tie that he would play against Wigan, then go back out on loan.

Cullen's been an unused sub for each league game since he returned to West Ham, and Rice was brought on ahead of him against Watford, even though the Hammers were leading 2-0. Just wondering if he's going to make a league appearance under Moyes before the end of the season

The fact that he's at least kept his place in the squad after the debacle against Wigan is encouraging and hopefully a sign that Moyes has plans for him - I reckon if the Hammers can put some more daylight between themselves and the relegation zone over the next few games, he might give him a few run-outs in the last few games - if that happens and he does well, he might become a candidate for a call-up for the June friendlies against France and the USA.

He's the 17th Irish player to appear in the premier league this season, one less than 2016/17

samhaydenjr

Good to see him come off the bench, even if it is only for some garbage time - hopefully a sign that Moyes has plans for him in the final run-in

He only had a few minutes but looked sharp. Made a couple of tidy passes in advanced positions. As mentioned, great to see Moyes bring him on.

I'm hoping West Ham stick with Moyes next season. He seems to like Declan Rice & now Josh Cullen getting some minutes.

With the U-21s still in with a shout of qualification, the question arises as to how we deal with blooding in Cullen and Rice. Should we leave them out of the senior side for the first three Nations League games (as well as the friendly in Poland), allowing them to finish the U21 qualifiers? This would still allow us to play them in three friendlies and one Nations League tie (unless they end up in the play-offs) before Euro 2020 qualifiers begin - would this still be enough preparation for them? Or does the senior team take precedent - do we promote them immediately and severely impede our U21s' first semi-realistic opportunity to qualify for the UEFA Finals? Alternatively, we could let them play in the qualifiers in Kosovo and at home to Germany and, if those results don't turn out well, then move them up to the senior side as any realistic hopes of qualification would be gone anyway.

No greater opportunity than this Nations League, get it done.

Well, I wasn't thinking of using the Nations League as a sneaky way of tying them to us, I was more questioning if they would have enough preparation for the Euro 2020 qualifiers if they were allowed to focus on the U21s and had just two or three friendlies under their belt when those games roll around. It seems that Rice is definitely committed to us, and there's been no mention of Cullen jumping ship, so as long as they're interested in seeing out this journey with the U21s I don't think there's necessarily a rush to cap-tie them. Of course, if I'm wrong, we could just bring them back to Dublin after the penultimate qualifier in Israel, throw them on for two minutes against Denmark on the 13th of October and then fly them out to Germany for the last U21 game on the 16th!

Got a few minutes again today as West Ham grabbed a point against Chelsea. Good that he is cementing his place in the matchday squad. hopefully West Ham will get clear of relegation in the next couple of games so Moyes might feel comfortable giving him some serious time for the last three or four.

Unfortunately after next Monday's game against Stoke the Hammers have games against Arsenal away, City at home and Man United away as 3 of their next 4 games.
