[Albion] Positives from Today (West Ham away)

[Garyoldfan]

HINSH. Thought he was drafted in because we were desperate. Turns out he's genuinely quality and all of a sudden one of our top young talents.

MODER. Was concerned that he'd be a fraction of the same player following such a big injury. But he looks so sharp and fits in this side like a glove.

I asked my son who Hinsh would make way for when we get all our players back and he said no one. And he’s right. Superb player.

Bit harsh on the OP

 

[Reddleman]

West Ham missed some big chances too?

Yes Soucek missed an absolute sitter from about six yards. And Steele made a good save from JWP in the first half.

Not necessarily a positive, but the first game in as long as I can recall that we didn’t have a corner.
positives:
clean sheet
getting 90 mins out of Estupinian
Not the greatest game, but a point away from home with the injuries is a point gained

 

[timbha]

Hinshelwood and Van hecke were outstanding. So was Gilmour

 

[mothy]

Clean sheet
Away point
Steele as No. 1

 

[timbha]

We kept JWP very quiet, almost anonymous

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Clean sheet
The kid won the Darts semi
Hinshelwood
Van Hecke marshalling Bowen

 

[Easy 10]

We kept JWP very quiet, almost anonymous

Largely down to not conceding any free kicks in dangerous areas.

That said, they'd have to have got out of their own half for that to happen.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I would say the main positive to me is the reaffirmation that we're miles better than West Ham. At the moment the table isn't showing it. But it will.

 

[Change at Barnham]

A big thank you to Adam Webster who let no one down despite having not played any football for several weeks.

I hope his knock doesn't stop him being available to be on the bench in the coming weeks.

We kept JWP very quiet, almost anonymous

And Bowen

 

[Pevenseagull]

20 games in and ahead of Man U, Newcastle and Chelsea.

 

[Brian Fantana]

I thought Milner was excellent again. To see that run from Gross in the first half and play a pin point cross was an absolute joy to see. So deserved a goal.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Clean sheet.
Pissed all over the academy of football.
Laryngitis for 50 odd thousand hammers fans.
Good all round team performance.
Onwards and upward

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

No more injuries

Repost from match thread:

First clean sheet of the season!

Over half way through the season, won our very tough Europa League group our first ever attempt, we’re above Manchester United, Newcastle and Chelsea in the league, 3 points off 6th. We’ve just gone to the team above us and forced them to play with two banks of five, with 17 shots in the second half and an off day in front of goal.

All this with the most injuries in the league, never mind to key players. Oh and the selling of £200m of talent in the summer.

So yeah, I’m pretty bloody pleased!

 

[jcdenton08]

Oh and I would’ve happily taken a 0-0 before a ball was kicked tonight given our injury situation. Very happy with that.
