I thought he was decent considering how long he’s been out, but he didn’t exactly set the world alight. He just did a lot of basics well, except the one horror pass that nearly put them through on goal.
Yeah agree, just definitely the right time to bring him off. Was good to see him get a start.
Nice Pic Slarty. The Plumber from Sheffield himself. (Sadley missed)Why? What do you go to football for
Were you watching the same game as 30 000 others?
West Ham view……watch Bart‘s reaction
West Ham view……watch Bart‘s reaction
It’s because he was given so much slack to improve the team over two seasons and we watched a lot of insipid football before things started to improve and then he left one month into a new season saying things like “ if he wanted an easy life he would have stayed at Brighton“. Had he left with a bit more respect then he would have earned more respect on days like today. But he didn’t.
We scored two brilliant goals from outside the box. 9 out of 10 times neither of those go in, so it relatively safe to let a player shoot from long range so you can pack the box more.If our defending is bad, what does that make West Ham’s ?
No closing down at all, the TV highlights refer to it, and Potter even referred to it post-match. Awful……..and for our second, Diego is unchallenged as he chips a ball to a completely free Gruda in the box who nods it to an unmarked Mitoma.
I want videos of every single angle of the winner, every single reaction from every player and the manager's celebrations and I want to drink it in. I can't tell you how much I needed that moment.
Thank goodness we didn't write the game off pre-game because "never mind drawing, we're going to lose with this bunch of duds", eh?!
And I’ll be keeping a low profile
harsh but fair, 
To be fair, Baleba is better than half of our defenders.
Two coming back from injury and one who clearly isn’t ready to start. Starting on the bench and starting the game are two very different things.Yet there were two full backs and a centre back on the bench
