Josh is on the bench for West Ham today. Joey O'Brien starts.
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.
Delivered a great speech after winning the Dylan Tombides award for top young player at WH.
On the bench for the hammers again today
Got a tidy winner against Chelsea in U21 league
The goalkeepers reaction is fantastic after the goal above ! !

CULLEN: @JoshCullen8 is off to Andorra again after being called up by @FAIreland U21s for a Euro 2017 qualifier!
Came on at Anfield yesterday in injury time.
contract extension for Cullen: http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2...ract-extension
signed for Bradford on a one month loan: http://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news...y-2948896.aspx
Saw this lad's debut for Bradford Saturday Vs Peterborough & stuck a few words in the Chris Forrester thread.
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.

on the bench in the Europa League again tonight with Darren Randolph, neither made an appearance.
With West Ham losing 2-1 he's not likely to play in the return leg
scored his first senior goal on Tuesday night
It's a tap in, but they all count. Nice long range finish from Billy Clarke as well
Cullen looks set to extend Bradford stay; update on Michael O'Connor.

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 summerQuote:

And there's only a few days between him and Jack Byrne in terms of age. Let's see what next season brings for each.

"Every game is a massive game at this stage, and you really need to push on and perform as well as you can. I've just tried doing what I've been doing all season and it's great to be rewarded.”

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 eitherQuote:

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.
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.
nice to see him on the bench in league maybe for first time?
Theyre up 3-1. Hopefully he gets a run.
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.Quote:

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.
