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

[Tyrone Biggums]

Should of won that. Played well. Lots to learn.

Too bad we learn nothing.

Certainly haven't learned a single thing from the start of the season on how to defend set pieces.

 

[Icy Gull]

So he apparently isn't responsible for our strikers not being able to finish and isn't responsible for our defenders defending poorly. What exactly is he responsible for?

Really? He is stuck with no PL quality players at the back and up front. Have a go at the man who controls the player purchases. There is absolutely no way Potter is responsible for our players being not good enough

Potter is a manager playing with one, maybe two hands tied behind his back. He is not even vaguely responsible for us throwing games away.

The tactics were spot on, the players are not good enough

Ben White is no wing back, square peg, round hole.
We have to stop trying to defend corners with zonal marking, when will Potter learn this?
Disappointed with a point based on the game, but pleased we didn’t lose

I just about remember, many moons ago, a home victory.

What is this 'home victory' of which you speak?

Get on the phone to Celtic and get big Shane back. Forget some of the poor performances up there, it's a shitshow at the moment and not down to him.

Don't need to start him every week but get him on to defend leads. We did it last year. Don't know why we felt we had outgrown the need for someone like that on the bench.

I’m not completely opposed to this.

For whatever reason we’re making costly mistakes every game at the back.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

A tad annoying that it was only a draw, but it's a point more than our rivals got. Maybe my new mug wasn't fully charged....I'll ensure it's well used before arsenal

 

[Wardy's twin]

You can’t blame Potter for individual mistakes surely.

if we are making the same mistakes each week then you have to say its the coaching or picking the wrong players....

 

[Solid at the back]

Dreadful performance against a WHU that didn't turn up. This is very worrying now that we can't put away teams that haven't been up for the games, exactly the same against Fulham. We are so shti

 

[boik]

Would’ve won that with Veltman instead of White. Imho.

Ha ha! The Old NSC mantra. We would have won that with (missing person) playing. Every time someone comes out with that line it makes me laugh.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Definitely 2pts lost, dreadful defending with both goals

Although Dunk's goal shouldn't have stood. Not only did it hit his arm but he also had handfuls of his marker's shirt.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Fair point really but why doesn't Potter like strikers? He should have gambled and put on Swiss Andy for 10 minutes. Its almost as if he is scared to win games.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Watching some of you take the bait funnier than watching us play at the moment.

 

[SeagullDubai]

I honestly think that fat bald 40 year old North Standers could defend set pieces better than Brighton.

Do they have to be bald?

Thumbs up, cos I couldn't find one!

This exactly. 0otter gets let off but the consistency of these errors are on him. We're so soft and there's no aggression in the team.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Some of our passing was bizarrely astray, for a Premier side, Welbeck doesn't have the balls of Murray to get in there, very disappointing

 

[vagabond]

But what if they’re the best players he has available?

Comes down to recruitment, again.

 

[Durlston]

Disappointed but Fulham lost at West Ham. Oh well, on to Arsenal - knowing that we've already beaten them at home this year. Now do it again!

(Cheesy joke) Hope the players didn't get dogs for Christmas.........

 

[Eeyore]

As poor as maupay has been today, I cannot understand why he's taken off a striker when we're supposedly chasing 3 points

No striker on pitch ?

Both strikers off now... Potter really going for the win.

No strikers on the pitch

Clearly evident and a sensible move.

West Ham had taken control of the midfield. He decided to flood that area of the park.

It worked, although it made the ending more tepid.

That's why he is manager and we are not.

Very true, good defending throughout a part from the goals, they were poor.
Lots of positive elsewhere.
On we go.
Up the Albion.

The bedwetters will always moisten their sheets.
