Johnson is such a top lad. Old head on those young shoulders.

The youngsters who started both look like they will make it. Whether with us or not, who knows as that is as much about luck as anything else. Key for me is that both have the right instincts. The rest can be coached and their attitudes seem right to learn.

Hopefully they have earned the right to be in and around the first team and will get more minutes over the course of the season.

Otherwise a nice comfortable win, good to see Aguerd getting more minutes and looking assured, really pleased for Fornals and hope he kicks on and Ogbonna looked much quicker than he has recently.

Moyes: “We left a lot of people back, and Pablo (Fornals) has played a lot of games. I gave him and Manuel Lanzini the chance but both of them were so keen to play.

What an enjoyable game that was.

Credit to the senior players who guided the youngsters through the experience. Some good performances from a fair few of the older heads that perhaps needed that to help with a bit of form.

Great to see Aguerd looking so assured at the back and getting 90. And who doesn't just love Ogbonna ?

Downes already looking like one of the senior pros, not a new guy trying to break through.

Moyes got the mix right, and you could see his delight in the performances of the academy boys.

Scarles and Ashby were the stand out youngsters for me, but each and every one deserves some credit for being part of it. Both of those look to have a future, hopefully with us.

Our Academy is still doing something right, and games like this are perfect to try some of the youngsters out, wonderful to see them grasp the chance.

And a big :newthumb: to our travelling fans :scarfer:

I love the fact the kids all did it Away in Romania in a big stadium. That's going to be very character building and breed so much confidence doing it against a senior football Team with a history. And to do it in style too.

Last night was everything I love and grew up loving about West Ham.

- Academy players breaking through
- Older players that ‘get us’ and understand what what fans want from them and how to behave as a West Ham player
- Our fans travelling en masse abroad to a dead rubber game

It was such a fantastic and uniquely West Ham night, it’s why I fell in love with the club, not that I had much choice mind.

Well done to all the youngsters, It must've been an amazing experience playing in a European game in a big stadium. The quality of the opposition was the prefect opportunity to give the kids a run out. Scarles played very well. Looked very comfortable on the ball. Its frightening to think he's only 16! Also well done to Mubama. Its a shame the goal wasn't given to him.

I just really hope these lads don’t go back in the development squad’s not to be seen again or for a long time. They’ve earned their right to get minutes in the league. It doesn’t need to be 20/30 mins either, 1-5 mins at the end of the game will suffice at the beginning. We take 2 keepers on the bench and are allowed to bring 5 players on. It will be a travesty if we don’t make the most of this.

Those two interviews with Mubama, Scarles and Johnson are exactly what it means to be us.

The smile on my face and the feeling in the pit of my stomach shows me that my love for West Ham United still runs deep within my veins.

A vile hangover, but a cracking night in Bucharest. They were bloody awful, one of the worst sides I've ever seen but that's also down to a very young West Ham side.

I'm hoping we get to see a few of them against Blackburn on Wednesday.

Good management by Moyes, acknowledging them as Senior pros who deserve not to be thought as of 'stiffs".

Good attention to detail.

Enjoyable watch last night. But for me it highlights the need to get the best of the kids out on loan learning their trade. At this stage of their development regular exposure to the PL would be too much for them but, imo, they shouldn't be kicking their heels in the Under 21s, they should be getting meaningful match time in a proper, competitive league.

It'll probably never happen and I know I'm in the minority but I long for the day when clubs are allowed to field "B" teams and allow them to find their place within the pyramid system. The drawback with the loan system is that the parent club isn't able to control the pitch time the lads get.

Playing in the league is a massive step up compared to that opposition last night!

Totally agree … that paternal look on Johnson’s face whilst Scarles is talking, just like a father who is proud of a younger member of the West Ham family.

I just enjoyed last night for what it was. A good win, some younger lads getting a game. Some senior pros guiding them and watching the away support having a great time out there. Just nice to watch and enjoy with no real pressure for once. Yes FCSB were pretty awful but that's not our fault.
