The level of resistance Stevenage offered is nowhere near what Rangers will bring, so there's no real point breaking down that friendly in detail. Either way, West Ham want a steady pre-season build-up for a long campaign - instead of 38 Premier League games, they're now looking at a minimum of 46 in the Championship. That takes proper physical preparation. So the Hammers won't be pushing themselves to the limit just to get a result here.
