[Albion] West Ham: a point gained or two points dropped?

[Bozza]

Everyone loves a post-draw poll.

What was it?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Being 2-0 up away from home, and to let them back in with two poor defensive mistakes, it has to be two points dropped.

 

[portslade seagull]

Just keep getting the points

 

[Stephen Seagull]

A draw after going 2 goals up in the second half is two points dropped, regardless of who you’re playing

 

[AmexRuislip]

Point gained.
Arnautovic was their only +, whereas we were positive, but were undone by a Duffly slip and wrong decision.

 

[arewethereyet?]

We scored 2 away from home, let’s be realistic, draw against Arsenal, beat Everton and draw against West Ham, that’s 5 points against strong opposition, we are going in the right direction.

Being two goals up, that has to be 2 points dropped.

 

[pb21]

Hmm, a hard one, but 2-0 up with 25 mins to go means it just edges two points lost.

 

[SweatyMexican]

It's 2 dropped, but West Ham away from home isn't a bad point at the end of the day.

 

[Napier]

Happy to get a point as WH looked most likely to get the winner and we were holding on. Poor defence, not just for the goals. Mind you, we should have had a penalty for the half-nelson on Dunk.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

We've given back the two points we gained from Fulham and Saints. Swings and roundabouts, luck evening out etc etc.

 

[Cozzy]

Heart says 2 dropped .. Head says 1 gained

 

[LamieRobertson]

The players will feel like its two lost ...so I'll go with them.....but another point on the total in our quest to move into the top half of the table

Anyway couple of easy games coming up

 

[Mackenzie]

Respect the point.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

2 points dropped. Disappointing.

I know a lot of people will say we should be happy where we are but I think we should be 8th/9th. We’ve dropped so many points we shouldn’t have.

We’re a really good side with some excellent premier league players. The players and manager need more belief in themselves.

I think the same applies to a lot of fans aswell, we should be raising our expectations now. We’re a better side than West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth etc and we need to start believing it. We’re not there just to make up the numbers and scrape 16th/17th place each season.

I agree, 2 dropped after being 2 up. Would have taken a point at the start though.
I thought the west ham subs injected much needed oomph for them, which caught us on the back foot.

 

[spence]

Dropped. Throwing away a 2 goal lead is poor. Before the game i would have been happy with a point though.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

2 points dropped I think
I would have taken a draw before the game though...

 

[Bry Nylon]

Probably 2 dropped on the night but looking at the broader picture we have stopped the 3 game losing sequence with a draw vs. Arsenal, a win vs. Everton and a draw away at West Ham. That is a solid set of results, especially with our ever-present keeper absent for two of those games playing noddy football somewhere in the Middle East.

Another point gained however at 0-2 up !!!!!!!!
