West Ham U21s did little to improve the current morale at the east London club as they were beaten 3-0 by Wycombe. Adebayo Akinfenwa, Scott Kashket and Nick Freeman were on target for the League Two side, while there were also defeats for the academies of Premier League sides Middlesbrough, Everton, West Brom and Stoke.
Boro were edged out 2-1 by Cambridge, the Toffees went down by the same scoreline at Cheltenham despite taking a fifth-minute lead, while Charlie Adam scored the solitary goal for Stoke, who were beaten 3-1 by Morecambe at the Globe Arena.
