    You probably have to be on twitter, but this West Ham account is providing a live stream.

    Snippet of team news - Michael Madl is out with a muscle (groin?) injury; Sean Kavanagh is in the squad.

    First half team:

    Button, Fredericks, Sigurdsson (Ream 21'), Djalo, Opoku, Cisse, Edun, Piazon, Aluko (c), Ayité, Woodrow

    Button up to his usual nonsense then. And 2-0 down at half time.

    We had a couple of interesting bursts forward, creating decent chances. Mainly though we didn't really look organised, certainly not when trying to bring it out from the back, and spent a lot of time 'chasing the ball' - not in the sense that West Ham were in charge rather that we lacked positional discipline.

    The backs did themselves no favours, although felt kind of sorry for Opoku. The lad simply isn't a left back.

    Apart fro Fredericks our defence was woefu,l i thought Betts was bad but Button
    what can one say. WH speedy skillful us slow and clue less.
    lets hope the 2nd half shows improvement.

    Half time warm up is quite telling. West Ham something like 10 guys running around, we had like ... 3!

    Second half team:

    Button, Fredericks (Opoku 75'), Ream, Djalo, R. Sessegnon, McDonald (c), Edun (Piazon 88'), Piazon (Cisse 75'), O'Riley, Ayité (Aluko 75'), Woodrow

    The subs, who all played the first half, says it all about the size of our squad. Better second half though; better shape. And a GOAL by who else but Ryan Sessegnon, taking a lovely through pass - on the right side of the box - from Aluko before popping it home. Although from my sofa it kind of looked like Woodrow got the final touch - as it was crossing the line.

    In the last quarter we actually looked like the Fulham of last season (well, almost) and that's good. However, you don't have to look too far to see where we need strength and in depth! No suprises - Goalie, centre back(s) and striker(s). Button fumbles far too often; Sigurdsson and Djalo are too slow and ponderous; Woodrow is simply not a natural goal scorer (a good chance in each half that ended in powder puff shots).
