West Ham United - Nottingham Forest

[Plymouth red]

Well... these results make next week's match interesting.

[Uwantlee]

Next week is a must win... Possibly the biggest game for many years

That kind of hiding has been coming our way for a while. We have been picking up points and kidding ourselves we are half decent but in truth we have been getting battered and getting away with it.

Problem remains the midfield for me. Shelvey apart they cant keep the ball, cant play a pass. Its no wonder the defence eventually concedes when they are under constant pressure. In the Championship you can get away with the opponent firing blanks all day. It aint going to happen at this level.

Sorry. I meant the season in question was in the late 70's. My memory doesn't stretch to the year it was. So in my opinion London has never been a happy hunting ground.

1 point from the last 9, that is a bit worrying.

Like others I am baffled by the substitution.

If Shelvey had to come off then surely it's a no brainer to replace him with Mangala.

One from nine points in those three games probably wasn't a massive surprise. You could argue we got the point from the wrong match!

Never a truer word spoken. Let’s face it we are a poor side, today categorically proves it. We perform better at home, no doubt, but we have ridden our luck long enough, it can’t last.

Something has to change, attacking opponents is my wild suggestion,

Yeah two away games and City at home. Happy with that personally although would've preferred it was at West Ham

[Paplane]

Lost all momentum for the season now. We really are dire away from home. Today was a throw back to the begining of the season. Really bad day for us this is. I'm worried again and can see us tail spinning as other clubs claw out results. Lose to Everton next week and I reckon we're done.

The plan was the same last week and it worked - switch to 4231. Problem is they were ready for it and attacked right down the middle. Cooper needs to hold his hands up and say he got it wrong today…
Next week is huge. Need Man City to turn up today and score a hatful v Bournemouth

[ozzyten10]

Aurier a big miss today.

[Paplane]

And any hope of our goal difference getting to parity with the others gone now too.
