    Bad defending, clumsy then by Bachmann results in a penalty. We gifted Leicester goals and basically, we have gifted West Ham their third. At the other end shortly before, their keeper denies us an equalizer.

    Why aren’t Sissoko or Louza doing that ?

    Getting forward from midfield.

    The front 3 are having to do everything themselves.

    Shocking....and really they way we were set up invitied them on to us again and again.... and going forward we could not pass accurately on the few occiasions it counted.... unlucky not to get a second at the end though....

    Going down at this rate......................

    We only have about 3 players who pose any threat ..

    The midfield don’t get forward at all.

    And a mob of players who cannot defend

    Exactly - we seem unable to cope with any quick and sharp movement .

    That was a tough listen. Can we blame CR70 or the players? Neither really, tough situation after just coming up, and COVID goings on. CR70 is starting to sound like a broken record after games now though. Not a great sign. He can't get a decent, consistent tune out of having to chop and change the players he has. We aren't a Premiership squad and it shows.

    I think it'll be tough to stay up, but knew that at the the statt of the season. Maybe there will be 3 ****ter teams come the end of the season. If it ends at all.

    I wonderer if any Jan sale shopping will happen. I hope CR70's job isn't in danger. He is the best we will get, for the mire we are in at the moment.

    I presume Kiko was one of those suffering as he went off early.

    Not that he ever looks that fit!

    We scored then went into defensive mode and really couldn't cope with the movement and speed of West Ham's play.

    The West Ham keeper had a big say in the result, he made 4 very good saves 2 of which were brilliant, our keeper let in 4 and didn't look that interested

    We need a complete new defence and an attacking midfielder

    Pedro looked good when he came on, King worked hard but Dennis did not put himself about as much as he has done in the past, probably got an international call up on his mind

    I think (hope) that Leeds could be in danger of going below us and Burnley

    For us Newcastle away and Norwich at home could be crucial

    It looked like we had just come back from a 2 week holiday with a bunch of new players, which in fact was close to reality. No lack of effort and plenty of goal scoring chances but so many errors and poor passes. The Pen was not Bachmann's fault but the defender who should have put it out of play. It was more a coming together 50/50 but it was a foul. VAR was good today. As for the 2 incidents where arms went against heads, theirs was deemed not a foul but their's was, both were fouls.

    I hope CR is given time - at least to the end of the season, he has been given a tough job in the circumstances and where are we going to get a manager of his standing to come to the club at the present time.

    Not expecting any turn around until after Spurs.

    3 crap teams like us or worse: Norwich, Burnley, Leeds and Newcastle (hopefully).

    I worry as both Leeds and Newcastle can recover .....
    Leeds can play better
    Newcastle can buy players now
