In my view. We gifted them a goal and before and after that they had nothing. I'd hate to have to watch that every week.
West Ham - worst team seen at the Amex so far.

They were awful, but the sad thing is they won, so its a bit silly slagging them off and saying ya dont wanna see that every week, as we ant won for a while now people slagging the club of, yet if we played like that and got a result we wouldnt be bothered i dont think as 3 points in the bag

Thing was, they were as solid at the back as we allowed them, we were just lacking that killer ball.
Christ, I wouldn't want to watch them too often.

disciplined, organised, dull to watch. I'd rather lose to them like we did tonight than play like them every week.
Not sure why we kept putting the ball in the air through the centre of the park, they could defend that all day.

Worse thing we could have done was concede early doors to them.
The onus was on us then to break them down, which we never really looked like doing.

Do you know what? I'd rather lose than play like that. Their style of football is ugly, ours is beautiful. I enjoyed watching Brighton tonight and if they keep playing the way they did then we will be fine.

What are you goons talking about? They had the sort of nous and know-how that we lack, they got the lead and they defended it. They were never troubled, and they are probably the best team in the league. Anyone who couldn't appreciate how well they stifled us as a team, and the game as a whole, needs to open their eyes, or learn a couple of things about football. They were by far the better team. Maybe not the better team to watch, but that's completely irrelevant if you lose.

What your team win? Unless things change you will not have to watch it.
I was very disappointed with West Ham but I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised given who their manager is.
BUT, Gus comes on the radio after the match saying how well we played, it was his fault Bridcutt gave the ball away (!) we had most possession, we only made one mistake, etc, etc really bugs me because we were poor tonight. We seem obsessed with possession, so much so that in the first minute we got caught out playing across our penalty area, didn't learn the lesson and got caught 15 minutes later when they scored. Fast forward 70 minutes and in the final few minutes what are we still doing....Noone to Painter, Painter to Dunk, Dunk to Greer, Greer to Bridcutt, Bridcutt to Painter, Painter to Noone...tackled and West Ham have the ball...meanwhile Buckley is 50 metres away waiting for a decent pass.

Just in case you had not realized, football is about winning matches, and this tippy tappy dago football ain't doing that this season. I really don't care how we play, just as long as we can go home with three points under our belt.

Are you serious? Wow! If winning by any means is all that you care about then I despair. Hold on, this is a wind-up right?
