West Ham United - Nottingham Forest

[wassy04]

Losing Murilo did not help our set pieces. We're not good enough to play with a one goal handicap away from home. Frustrating though as we played well for parts of that game, faded late though.

Late goals hindering us this year

Indifferent performances also.

We've played decent overall I'd say, just made some critical mistakes and missed a few big chances

Your rose tinted glasses get good use Wassy.

Matched them on xG, gave them a few goal, got ahead through some good football. Just got done on a few corners, what do you expect? We're not Man City.

We were second to most balls... Lethargic....... Not good enough.

Stop giving cheap corners and free kicks away. Difficult when paquetta dives and they are plying for them. We are noticeably a bit more expansive and with that we are susceptible on the break - no shame in that performance but a bit frustrating as we should have got a point- elangas celebrating like that was a bit annoying too. Set the bar to not concentrate for me.

We have come so far, but why do we stop playing late in second half. We stop doing the right things and panic.

[Colnago]

Frustrating, say it week in week out away from home” stop giving the ball away cheaply “

It's getting to the point where the improved performances don't really count for much. We should have won at Palace, should have beat Luton and should have beaten a poor Burnley side. We were lucky to beat Sheff U. I still think we need a big step up in terms of making ourselves harder to beat. We're conceding soft goals against teams that are hardly world beaters. It's criminal to throw away a 2-1 lead away from home like we did today. Clearly we switched off after taking the league and thinking the job is done. They equalised within 40 odd seconds. Just not good enough.

[The reds]

We gave to many set pieces away, so bad at defending them.

xG...meaningless stat. proper goals 3-2
We looked like rabbits in the headlights once we lead.
Poor defending cost us.
Just got done on a FEW corners? I lost count of corners and set pieces they had which indicates their attacking intent. Our poor away performances are the norm. Not a deal has changed from last season, better performances...maybe..but overall usual service has been resumed.

We have a constant habit of retreating back into our shell when leading in a game, gone on to long now need to be eradicated. Why do our players seem to tire during the last 20/25 mins of a game? Also not sure if MGW is captain material lacks leadership on the park.

[Plymouth red]

Very mixed feelings. On the one hand, we did well to come back from that early mistake but we've shown a lack of confidence when taking the lead that we think we can keep it. We anticipate teams will come on to us after taking the lead but we don't often have any means of combating this.

Whether that comes from the captain, the manager or the team spirit, its costing us. I didn't feel we would win today and a defeat is not the end of the world. I guess its just a sense of frustration

It's not a meaningless stat, it shows approximately how likely each team is to score from their combined chances. It certainly gives an indicator of quality of opportunities. They had 9 corners to our 4, we defended them well until they scored. Disappointing obviously but we lost in the last minute in a tight game. I'd hardly call that a terrible performance.
