1-1: Saturday, 20th January(Replaced Cresswell) Made a slight impact going forward managing to work Asmir Begovic in the Bournemouth goal despite only being on for a few minutes.

Huddersfield Town
2-0: Monday, 11th SeptemberDid not play.
Cheltenham Town
2-0: Wednesday, 23rd AugustLooked sharp and bright early on, producing great through balls and defending well, but unfortunately lost his touch as the game wore on.
Southampton
2-3: Saturday, 19th AugustDid not play.
Manchester United
0-4: Sunday, 13th AugustDid not play.

0-1: Friday, 28th JulyPlayed for an hour before being replaced.
Fulham
2-1: Thursday, 20th JulyReplaced at half time by Pablo Zabaleta.
Burnley
2-1: Sunday, 21st MayLooked ok – particularly going forward.
Burnley
2-1: Sunday, 21st MayAn improved performance from the young wing-back. Gets into some cracking attacking positions but just lacks that cool head at the end.
Liverpool
0-4: Sunday, 14th MayA poor performance from Sam today, made a lot of rash decisions and wasn't strong enough.
Tottenham Hotspur
1-0: Friday, 5th MayJoined the attack well and didn’t look too shabby in defence either.
Tottenham Hotspur
1-0: Friday, 5th MayOnce again showing glimpses of what he could be. Bags of quality and energy in attack and defence, but just lacking that cutting edge going forward.
Stoke City
0-0: Saturday, 29th AprilDid not play.
Sunderland
2-2: Saturday, 15th AprilImproving – a run in the position helps but he has a way to go yet.
Swansea
1-0: Saturday, 8th AprilFine performance. Good in defence and got forward well. I think I’ll give him MOTM.
Arsenal
0-3: Wednesday, 5th AprilImproving – a run in the position helps but he has a way to go yet.
Hull City
1-2: Saturday, 1st AprilImproving – a run in the position helps but he has a way to go yet.
Leicester City
2-3: Saturday, 18th MarchA good match – particularly going forward when he kept the pressure on in the second half.
West Bromwich Albion
2-2: Saturday, 11th FebruaryDid not play.
Southampton
3-1: Saturday, 4th FebruaryAnother harsh lesson for Byram; the hope is that these experiences will serve him well in the long run.
Manchester City
0-4: Wednesday, 1st FebruaryAnother harsh lesson for Byram; the hope is that these experiences will serve him well in the long run.
Middlesbrough
3-1: Saturday, 21st JanuaryAnotherr decent performance. No criticism for the goal ,which saw him left with two men to mark.
Crystal Palace
3-0: Saturday, 14th January(Replaced Ogbonna) Received wisdom has it that he is not highly rated behind the scenes. There will be sterner tests to come – possibly against a team who actually pose an attacking threat. However, his introduction and the reversion to a flat back four was the catalyst for the second half. Still early days.

Astra Giurgiu
0-1: Thursday, 25th AugustI keep hearing he's hugely-talented. Sadly we're yet to see it in a West Ham shirt where he's been a liability. Positionally poor, awful first touch and weak distribution.
AFC Bournemouth
1-0: Sunday, 21st AugustPossesses a penchant for getting the wrong side of his man. Booked when he could feasibly have been dismissed for two separate offences.

Chelsea
1-2: Monday, 15th AugustA decent performance from the youngster and one that left fans querying why he wasn't in the starting XI.
Juventus
2-3: Sunday, 7th AugustSam endured a torried time in the first leg so it was pleasing to see him put in a solid performance tonight in an unfamiliar position.
NK Domzale
3-0: Thursday, 4th AugustStuck to his task well but there were still “right back playing on the left” moments that stronger opposition might exploit.

Southampton
0-1: Saturday, 6th February(Replaced Tomkins) A quiet game - and a little lucky not to see red for a late challenge.
Manchester City
2-2: Saturday, 23rd JanuaryAn accomplished debut. Ok, it’s early days but on that showing I wouldn’t have any qualms about him starting ahead of Jenkinson.
