Jarrod Bowen admitted he was very disappointed with the loss and emphasized that the team needs to improve its defensive performance immediately.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen stated that the team had no excuse for their poor performance after another home defeat on Saturday. Following a 2-3 loss to Southampton last week, West Ham suffered another home defeat this round, falling into a 1-3 loss to West Bromwich Albion due to a series of serious defensive errors.

During the match, Jarrod Bowen scored in the first half to help West Ham United equalize and escape the deficit imposed after Felix Horn Mehre's goal. However, in the second half, Jimmy Jay Morgan and Callum Styles scored in succession, ultimately securing all three points for West Bromwich Albion. For Jarrod Bowen, the team must quickly adjust its form and stop its losing streak before the international break.

After the match, Jarrod Bowen said: "We have two crucial games ahead of us, and the team must quickly unite and face the challenges together as a whole, striving to win both games. This loss is truly frustrating. Following last week's game, we have conceded too many goals in two consecutive home games, and this absolutely cannot happen again."

"If the team hopes to achieve the desired results, it must solve the problems on the defensive end. It is unrealistic to expect to win games while conceding goals continuously. I can only apologize to everyone for the team's overall performance over the past few weeks. Although I think we have never shown our best level, we were at least able to find ways to win before."

"However, the team's performance over the past few weeks has indeed fallen far short of expectations, and the consecutive losses are a result we must face. Therefore, under these circumstances, we can only apologize to everyone. But the team will soon be returning to the field, and there are two more games to fight for. We must unite and work together in the name of the club as a whole to strive for victory in the next two matches. This is the only correct action we can take right now."

As Jarrod Bowen stated, West Ham United face a packed schedule ahead. The team first travels to Cardiff City, followed by another away game against Blackburn Rovers next week. Bowen emphasized that the team must respond with their performance in matches, demonstrating a strong determination to bounce back.

He continued, "We've been discussing the team's slow start to the game, and this isn't the first time we've discussed this as a whole. But once we're on the field, every player must be at their best and maintain a strong desire to win, giving their all from the moment the opening whistle blows."

"As I said before, we can communicate in the locker room and find solutions through group discussions. But when it comes to the game, although it is a shared responsibility of the whole team, each player must first take the initiative to assume their own responsibilities, and then cooperate with each other to achieve the common goal through the strength of the team."

"It's obvious that we still have a lot of shortcomings in this area so far this season. We've delivered very disappointing results in two consecutive matches, and we must face the current predicament squarely and take responsibility. However, we have two more matches to play before the international break, and the schedule is quite tight, scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday. Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to turn our ideas into action and deliver the performance we deserve on the pitch. I think it's meaningless to just keep making verbal promises."
