BBC report suggests it was an opportunity missed and on the basis of missed late chances I’m inclined to agree

on a positive note we remain unbeaten at that stadium

Neither. Didn't deserve to lose, didn't do enough to win

I've not seen the game, but it was definitely two points dropped.

Yep, also the Ayari miss where he scuffed it at the keepers legs from 8 yards out running onto a layback was unforgivable. He has the goal at his mercy. Buonanotte anyone ?

Ayari is not and never will be a premier league player…. Not because of any lack of ability but because he has no composure whatsoever.

Either team could have won, neither did Disappointing that it was so competitive considering how West Ham were doing only a few weeks ago but form is temporary for better and worse.

Our confidence is shot, not playing as well as we could, still missing some key players and just been smashed by our rivals.

Shocked people expected a win today. A fairly decent point away from home against an established Premier League team. Amazing people complain about it.

We move on.

Yes. One decent but easily stoppable shot on target, a bit m'eh.

Fergy came on at 85 and missed two howlers. Looked like a pub player.

Er, composure can be coached. Lack of ability cannot. So I posit that you are wrong.

I would kindly say, two changes that if he was starting games and scoring regularly he would have finished. A pub player would be out of breath and 5 yards short of getting to the ball.

Jonathon Pearce has stated that Brighton will see this as two points dropped, so no need for the poll

When I looked at the 6 'easy' games I predicted 8 points and didn't have this as one of them. Point gained!!!

Think West Ham will be very pleased with a point so that means we shouldn’t be!

Yeah, a little composure in front of goal and we win that, so two points dropped.

I was encouraged by our performance though, and I thought Ferguson had a bit of fight in him for the first time in a while, so clearly working his way back into fitness and form. He couldn’t finish today, but he’d outmuscled the defence to get into the right place, the hunger and fight was back. He’ll be in the goals again soon.
