West Ham supporters believe they have already seen a striking difference between Scott Parker and Nuno Espírito Santo after watching footage of the new manager putting his players through their paces at Rush Green.

Just 10 days into his tenure, Scott Parker has been filmed repeatedly barking instructions, directing drills and demanding intensity from his West Ham players.

And Hammers fans have been quick to point out that they have seen more footage of Parker actively leading training in the past week than they remember seeing of Nuno Espirito Santo during his 13 months in charge.

When Nuno was sacked, reports from journalists with contacts inside West Ham raised questions about his communication with players and his approach to tactical preparation.

The Guardian reported that multiple sources described the Portuguese as distant and uncommunicative, with some players feeling they had little opportunity to force their way into his plans.

In one 30-second montage, the former Hammers captain is animated, loud and demanding as he delivers a series of instructions.

“I want to see us sharp as always, boys,” he tells the players, while also demanding that they remain active and develop the habit of being ready to explode forward in transition.

The latest footage is part of a wider behind-the-scenes video showing Parker’s first full week of work with the squad.

Even the soundtrack caught supporters’ attention, with 1990s club music classics playing as the players warmed up.

But it is Parker’s visible involvement that has prompted the strongest reaction.

One X account, West Ham News and Views, wrote: “I’ve seen more clips of Scott Parker leading training sessions in the past week than I ever saw Nuno do in the year he was here.”

The account added its belief that West Ham would bounce back after the international break, with Parker getting the team clicking.

“Parker is doing his bit. It’s going to be eyes on the players now though. If there isn’t an upturn in form, I truly believe it’s a player issue, not a manager one.”

Another supporter highlighted the apparent change in intensity.

“I just watched yesterday’s session and it couldn’t have been any more different than what I’ve been seeing for years. The intensity was way above what we’ve been used to. We’ve got to give him the time he needs and get behind the lads.”

A further fan made a more direct criticism of Nuno’s approach, claiming players had previously said the Portuguese rarely went out onto the training pitches himself.

Of course, the footage released by West Ham cannot tell supporters everything about what went on behind closed doors under either manager. Nor does the number of clips released necessarily reflect the amount of work taking place on the training ground.

But the contrast in what fans are being shown is unmistakable.

Parker has made a point of being vocal, demanding and hands-on from the outset. Now he must make sure that intensity translates into performances when West Ham return against Preston on 21 November.

Supporters have seen enough to be encouraged by the change in approach.

The real test will be whether the players respond when it matters.
