    Form them couple of corners i reckon the set piece coach will pay off when he has been long enough to really get some.
    work done!

    Not a bad half at all, had a vouple of chances and so have they

    We definitely need more from our front 3

    Diarra the stand out for me, probably should have scored but what a player he is going to be

    pretty nervy. I’m right next to the West Ham fans and fair play to them they haven’t shut up.

    Very good, can’t complain too much. In the first 10 mins I thought we looked a bit nervy, like they thought they didn’t belong there but they’ve grown into the game.

    Missing something in attack but you can’t have it all.

    Solid start. Bit of a wake up call if I'm honest, quality difference is huge when you consider these are ****e.

    Hopefully take a bit more of a hold 2nd half.

    I love Eliezer Mayenda but I can see how / why somebody like Guiu fits our system much better

    Also strange we’ve changed our 4-4-2 defensive shape to more of a 4-4-1-1

    We done well there. The difference is obvious, the pace of the West Ham passing and movement creates so much space. They can always find somebody in loads of space. Ballard our best player so far. He’s been a beast. We need more presence upfront to bother the West Ham centre backs.
