Matt Taylor Returns from Injury

Matt Taylor played in West Ham's Development Squad game against Gillingham yesterday. Guy Demel and new signing George John also both featured in the 1-1 draw.

The West Ham official website says that George John "was the star of the show ... looking calm in possession, strong in the tackle, quick to anticipate danger and generally assured on his first appearance in a claret and blue shirt."

John even managed to get his name on the score-sheet netting West Ham's only goal with a 'superb volley' from a Taylor corner.
