[Albion] West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Coldeanseagull]

I don't slag my team off, but stop passing it back when there is an opportunity to cut them open!!!!!!

It's all too pedestrian against a shit team.
**** the possession stats, start producing scoring chances

 

[sydney]

I have no confidence in Potter keeping us up now.

to be fair to potter ...he ain't on the pitch , the players are all in their 20's , they are all professional footballers ffs.......we have half a midfield today and we ain't gonna score against a 5 man defence.

 

[TSB]

The dawning realisation that Potter and this squad are not up to this standard is a fascinating thing to watch.

Still think Brighton will scrape enough points at home to stay up, but you may as well write off every away game (except Norwich) from now on.

 

[Gabbafella]

I think I'm finally in the "Potter out" camp.
Turning out to be a poor decision by Bloom.

 

[JVacation]

Really think we need to stick Maupay and Connolly on. Pick up the pace and let them be hungry for the win. Anything can happen in 45 minutes.

 

[Solid at the back]

We're down. That's OK.

 

[spongy]

I'm getting worried now. This isnt good. Weve had 2 bloody good chances with Mooy and Trossard. And the other chance when Mooy nicked it from Trossards feet.

Montoya having a mare against Antonio.

Missing Burn badly so cant do a back 3. Didnt realise just how influential he can be. Not just in the game but how him missing affect it's our formation without him.

 

[doogie004]

We have to go down, clear the deadwood and start again. This squad is not good enough.

The fear is we won’t come back

If we keep Potter we're down. Ridiculous to give him a five and a half year extension after four PL wins.

If we stick with Potter we're down, if we go elsewhere maybe there's a chance?

God sacking Hughton was so naive.[/QUOTE]

Sacking Hughton was absolutely the right thing to do. Replacing him with Potter was the mistake.

Interesting perspective. I felt like Hughton was unlucky and deserved another season.

 

[Weststander]

As for potter out I think if we lose to Watford that'll get Tony panicking as premier league survival is paramount

There’ll be almost nothing Bloom can do about it. He ultimately decided the transfer strategy of the last 6 windows, leaving us without pace, power and a true centre forward with legs.

Any new manager will be lumbered with this static, physically weak, small team.

 

[SollysLeftFoot]

Spence is going to be creaming his pants.

Absolutely, what’s worse is that his criticism of Potter’s tactics aren’t even the reason we’re in this mess

 

[Stat Brother]

Potter needs to earn his salt for once.

At least we've never been in the bottom 3...







...oh.

 

[SoggyCabbages]

At least Watford have bottled it against Everton and we are now 'only' 17th!

Got to find the positive some where lol.

 

[spanish flair]

I'd rather us go down than watch more Hughton anti-football.

And are you seeing good football from us today?
We look like schoolboys against men, being bossed all over the pitch by a poor side

 

[Washie]

You complete fecking liar

I stopped watching last season, that's how ****ing depressing it was, we got ****ing dominated by Bournemouth. We got beaten by Cardiff twice. Last year made me hate football.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Watford will really fancy all 3 points at the Amex, we're just too easy to play against

 

[Bladders]

Potter needs to realise the Stephens/Propper midfield offer's nothing

 

[TSB]

We nearly went down with Hughton with hardly a shot at goal in the second half of the season.

Key point there, I think.

 

[DJ NOBO]

I'd rather us go down than watch more Hughton anti-football.

You , my friend, will get your wish.
Good one.

We can have our head up our arses with our poncey “not going to overpay” crap that we spout, but recruitment in the PL has been nothing short of embarrassing, 10th highest net spend in EUROPE. We are going down because of it.
