West Ham - Nottingham Forest

[pennhillred]

My thoughts for anyone that cares:

Delighted with 3 points but a shocking performance.

Regarding the pen it was a foul in the box so it's a pen, simple.

Don"t want Nuno back anywhere near our club.

Completely agree with all. 

So relieved. Massive win. But if we play like that much more, the 7 point gap could disappear quick. 

The performances vs Everton x2, Fulham, last night, and I’d say the wolves win, are a huge cause for concern. 

We must improve. And fast. 

Delighted with the win. Hated the performance.

We weren’t great by any means but certainly not shocking either. Typical away performance of a mediocre side. Our stats were better than theirs on every metric. Forced a world class save and hit the bar. Conceded a freak own goal. Not pretty but job done.

Yep. Looking at the game in the cold light of day suggests it was a deserved win but bloody hell it was nervy last night at the end. I was a nervous wreck sat watching it after the pen.

What would Nuno have been thinking when Dyche went classic Nuno and took off Bakwa to put on Morato at the end to bring the win home?

[Salvatore Matrecano]

We don’t have a goal scorer, our wide players don’t particularly create and we no longer play on the counter attack. Not sure what else people are expecting.

I believe your thoughts are shared by a large portion of the fan base.

Even I don't want Nuno back now after everything that's happened since the summer.

After the Wrexham game we have 10 days before Arsenal to try and sort some issues out. Open play goals and personnel trimming.

Performance was dog last night but as Sal said pretty routine away win for struggling sides. The save off Neco was absolutely world class and if that was Raya (like it was last week) it would be spoken about all week. CHO hit the bar with a great effort so even though the corner was lucky it's not like we didn't have better quality efforts. 
And we scored from a corner  :Victory: :Victory:

This season isn't going to be pretty and there's a few passionate contrasting theories regarding why that is but for now we need to stabilise and improve.

Williams superb.

CHO absolute dog shyte (last night).

Everyone else very average at best.

I need need excitement and I need to be entertained.

I can't take watching that level of football every week.

Not calling for anyones head and some are happy with performance levels which is fair enough but I am not one of them.

I really think we're missing Sangare a lot as his presence allows Anderson more freedom to play. I thought Anderson was poor last night - kept getting caught in possession and putting us in trouble.

TBF he's probably knackered though - hopefully he won't be played on Friday.

We wont get that lucky every week ether. With an offside goal and a penalty, play like that every week and were soon back in trouble. Especially if west ham appoint a better manager

Neco really is the our only consistent performer.

Regarding the disallowed goal last night that VAR ruled out, by the rules of the game it was offside. It might be a technicality, but what I won't say is that was fortunate for us. Reason being that it came from a passage of play where there was a VAR check for handball after it came off the knee of the West Ham player, and went wide of the goal. I know VAR can't overturn it, but they resumed with a goal kick when it was obviously a corner.

As for the penalty, I've seen a couple argue as his intent was the ball then it shouldn't have been a foul. But if you slide for the ball, don't get close to it and bring an opposition player down. It is a free kick. He was closer to MGW's penalty than he was the punch, and it was a penalty every day having hit him in the face. Even Hendrie said it was, and he was siding with WHU most of the night on the commentary.

We seemed flat last night but had Neco's or CHO's effort went in, it would probably be a different story. It was never going to be a good watch with Nuno vs Dyche.

[Trailer Park Tom]

What we saw last night is that we are going to concede goals and struggle to score them.

Massive win but sooooo much to improve.

On the other hand, as shocking as it is, Dyche came in with 1 win under our belt.
