[Iceybabey]

We're struggling here

 

[A Storm of Blades]

I’d honestly love to know whether in training players are told if a pass isn’t on it, just knock a percentage ball into space. We can’t keep giving up possession this easily, it’s criminal

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Why have we spent 60m on strikers and still say we desperately need one

 

[1987]

That was such a good ball by Berge.

Not perfect half at all, but promising

 

[Gavlar]

another half with no goals at home.

 

[raimond]

I genuinely never single out players but Max Lowe fuckinell...

Work FFS!! 3 or 4 times just casually wandering back, no urgency blocking crosses, when he just left it out for a goal kick when it could've stayed in off the flag was careless.

Fair play if someone's out of their depth but at least work your bollocks off

 

[JPSharpy93]

We can nick this

 

[A Storm of Blades]

I guess we can’t open up against the World Class ability of Rice and Cresswell

 

[YoungBlade31]

I bet mcburnie has had the most chances to score in the prem, yet he has missed the ball or hit it right at the keeper

 

[1987]

another half with no goals at home.

Yeah its rough. But we do look like we might have goals in us this game.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Wilder needs to stop taking advice from the scouts because players like Lowe,McBurnie aren't good enough for this division it's unbelievable

 

[Kev Gee]

MGD for all his lauded "link up play" hasnt done this at all.
West Ham should be winning. If Bowen squared that ball they would be ahead.

 

[Espania blade]

Ok. Gonna stick my neck out. Draw.

while your neck is out could you score a goal for us

 

[The Hobott]

Bowen is a good player and we are giving him way too much space. That left side needs tightening up.

 

[robbiez666]

Much better display, actually competing and winning battle. Started well and faded a but but it's fairly level pegging at the moment.

We need to be better in the final third. We also need to be tighter at the back. Our left side Ampadu/Lowe is not great. Far too easty for Bowen et al to cause us problems.

 

[Russ]

Brewster will be on after 60 mins for Mcgoldrick

 

[Lawrence]

Ampadu, Lowe gonna cost us

 

[1987]

MGD for all his lauded "link up play" hasnt done this at all.
West Ham should be winning. If Bowen squared that ball they would be ahead.

Hes struggled in that regard this year. But has scored. A total reversal to last year.

That being said i dont think hes having a bad game, and weve had chances too.

 

[Skiliman]

This is the sort of game we just need the drop of a ball. The way things have been going we have been losing these 1-0. Come on BLADES

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Every team’s just pressing our back line now, knowing we’ll just hoof it away

 

[Cheesebored]

I guess we can’t open up against the World Class ability of Rice and Cresswell

Cresswell is a very good player.

 

[Drunk blade]

Fair play if someone's out of their depth but at least work your bollocks off

He's also not giving an option going forward fleck and norwood are having to turn back inside and try and build something down the right every time

 

[Robboblade1889]

Do people actually think OMB’s shot was a chance? He did well got a good shot off keeper made the save! Fuck me have a go when he’s been poor but literally singling him out at every opportunity is a joke! I always thought our fans were better than this! Obviously not.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Please please nick a 1-0

 

[Blade58]

hes not a premier league striker

One thing for sure is that he is so fkin frustrating

 

[8lade]

What does McBurnie do better than Billy? What element of his game is better?

He can control space in the box and if the ball is put on his head he can get a decent header away.
I'd pick Sharp to start every time he has so much more to his game.

 

[Bladeulike]

It’s just shocking how little composure we have on the ball. I just don’t recognise this team any more. We are caught constantly in possession, give possession away within seconds of getting the ball so it’s, as ever, just wave after wave of having to defend against payers who are better and slicker on the ball. Lowe is shocking again today. Please just give us a second half of some confidence and belief

 

[1987]

He's also not giving an option going forward fleck and norwood are having to turn back inside and try and build something down the right every time

To be fair Norwood turned his back on a wide open Lowe a few times.

Yeah. You like to give players a chance and tbf I'd seen far more of Bogle than Lowe but what I've seen so far from him is concerning imho.

It's one thing not hitting the ground running but he looks short in every facet required.

 

[Dnblade]

Still struggling in possession, giving the ball away,but we've had opportunities, need to take one and keep it tight at the back.
