Cal and Jack break down West Ham 1-2 Charlton in the Hammers' first home game of the Championship campaign. They discuss where exactly it went wrong for West Ham, Taty's controversial penalty miss, what Nuno need to change in order to beat counter-attacking sides and, ultimately, ask whether we should be concerned about the poor form we've seen so far.
