[Paulie Gualtieri]

Locadia has reasonable pace doesn't he?

He runs like he’s shit himself

 

[stewart_weir]

West Ham bottom.. day started well

 

[banjo]

FFS losing it before we even kicked off. A least wait till full time.

There are some miserable people on this thread. Let's just wait and see how it pans out, it's a new season and all. Sit back and try to enjoy it. Football is entertainment that we all pay for, don't let it get you down before it's even begun.

 

[goldstonegull]

Very dissapointed, did anybody really think that this is the team he was going to put out. I for one didn't.

 

[TSB]

I said at the time i was disappointed with the Mooy signing. Many on here were pleased though. Midfield will be our downfall this season. Simply not good enough

15th 1st season
17th 2nd season

Downhill spiral and yet that midfield hasn't changed. This is my major concern.

Glad it's not just me then, Spence.
However, we'll have to wait and hope. Perhaps he'll be the spark we need. Jury definitely out imo.

Touché

AJ not even on the bench!

Not the man for 3-4-3 it would seem.

 

[teammelli]

Disappointed about Alireza not even on the bench. Why not just loan him out if not part of BHA plans??
From a BHA fan perspective also disappointed about Trossard on the bench.
Wasn't it Einstein who said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Is there a seasgulls player commentary thing?

Edit: Got it - free to all apparently

But. But. Hughton. Park the bus. New era, new man. Blah blah.

 

[Triggaaar]

Potter has to be showing his existing players respect

He will respect all the players, and I don't think anyone should be chosen to start just because they started games last season. He should pick the team which he feels is most likely to get a result today (and I assume he has done that).

Also, the new boys will need to see what he wants from them.

so do the old boys

Ryan
Duffy
Dunk
Burn
Montoya
Propper
Stephens
March
Gross
Locadia
Murray

Subs:
Button
Bernardo
Webster
Mooy
Trossard
Andone
Maupay

No Jahanbakhsh... Interesting.

That is one hell of an attacking bench GP has given the old guard their chance to shine but the bench is the future should they not deliver

Sounds about right to me.

Aside from Jahanbakhsh, I'm a bit surprised to see Maupay on the bench given that he's apparently had little or no re-season - for today I'd rather have seen one of the youngsters around the squad getting a bit of practice at benchwarming.

Potter likes to change things by all accounts. Let’s see how and when he uses the bench

 

[London Irish]

WTF? The Trossard-March combination was our main attacking threat

 

[Triggaaar]

Disappointed about Alireza not even on the bench. Why not just loan him out if not part of BHA plans??

So should we just name an 18 man squad and loan the rest out?

Wasn't it Einstein who said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"?

No, it wasn't.

 

[London Irish]

Do you remember when Hughton didn’t pick any of last year’s signings and everyone said that was his resignation letter
