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

[*Gullsworth*]

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

Very much this.

Some of the Potter haters here are a disgrace, could practically hear them celebrating that West Ham equaliser.

Ben White to blame for the 2nd goal. Terrible defending.

Good performance. Deserved a win. Very unlucky. Again.

Still, important point I suppose.

Not unlucky. Defended poorly for both goals. We're our own worst enemy when it comes to trying to win bloody football matches.
Still, at least we didn't lose.

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.

We would have won that if we had Messi tbh.

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

No Premier league quality players at the back? Lewis Dunk isn't (wasn't) Premier league quality?!

 

[FannieMac]

To cap it all Sky can **** right off for calling that Dunk goal as handball

 

[Napier]

Disappointing not to win after having looked the better team for most of the game. More poor defending and set pieces our downfall again. However, we would have taken a point before the game and, all in all, I see it as a good away point gained.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Well done to Maupay, scored and chased well, hope this will start him off again

 

[boik]

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

Wow, that is some of the fastest back-peddalling I've ever seen. Or has being called out made you realise something?

 

[TottonSeagull]

**** sake, we should have won this game at a canter. Poor Potter, let down by his players AGAIN

Poor Potter

He is responsible for his players! Have the players let him down since January? There is something very wrong with the team. Yet another 2 points dropped! How many games do we have to let goals in from corners before the coaching staff have some blame? Maybe stop this zonal marking as it isn’t working?

No need to panic it’s the long term master plan or so I’m told.....

Don’t forget what we learnt today

Sadly another dreary performance, Dunk and Burn being the exception, **** me how many passes in the first half, hypnotic bullshit against an under par West Ham outfit.. Potter Out

 

[MJsGhost]

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.

Shadow of the player he was, sadly

Potter is being let down big time by player errors. I almost wish a genuine PL quality team come in for him. He is the best manager we have ever had imo, but the players can’t do what he wants them to do.

 

[The Fits]

Concerning as our away games are more like our home games. We need those points.

 

[Reddleman]

Zonal marking killing us

It was nothing to do with zonal marking and nothing to do with coaching. The ball was right on Lewis Dunks head and he glanced it on instead of heading it back where it came from or out the box.

Agree although dunk did a powder puff header first

White is not a RB. Play him as a CB. He played well in pieces but so frustrating to let two easy goals in.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Explain why we are so shite at defending for the past 18 months. 1 win in 13 league games? Dunk has never had ‘short comings’ before! Maybe he doesn’t have a lot of faith in Potter?

We haven’t been shite at defending for 18 months, that’s a very simplistic and wrong response to try and back up your agenda.

We conceded less last season than we did the season before and the same as we did the season before that.

As I say, Dunk was player of the season under Potter so clearly he does know how to get the best out of him. In this case an experienced, international player needs to look at his own performance rather than blaming the manager.

 

[um bongo molongo]

If you can’t do set pieces at both ends of the pitch a) you’ll struggle and b) you have to question the coaching. Are the people surrounding Potter up to the task?
