terrytini Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We're doing okay. After the season these players just had, 10 games with no win at the end, it isn't going to happen overnight, and we are at home to a side who shoul;d be buzzing having just come up. Some of our football has been pretty good, cutting edge is always hardest to find but it will come under an astute attacking manager. !st shot of second half even as I speak. Keep the Faith !

Papillon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ouch that was painful. Good start to the game, but the last 30 minutes were pretty much the worst I have seen in a while in any football game. A poor team playing hoofball is far more likely to score than a poor team playing possession fotball in its own half. Let's be honest, these are two teams that are not going to push for top 8 this season, but we have not created a single shot at goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 ive never seen us play so many passes in all my 29 years it's all sideways stuff. Not actually doing anything. it's day 1 of lambert's reign. things won't happen magically overnight. holding onto the ball, moving, and playing lots of passes will yield rewards down the line. do you want to do it properly or do you want to do it fast? Exactly right. We just need some better quality in there in place of the likes of N'Zogbia. I like what Lambert is trying to do it, but it WILL take time.

DiegoD Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 At the moment I think our biggest problem is that our fullbacks aren't supporting the attacks so its all very narrow. Not too concerned, didn't expect us to keep a clean sheet, hopefully since we are chasing we will try to force the issue a bit more in the final third.

R.Bear Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Sorry but there is not enough Quality or Depth in this side to suggest its anything more than a relegation fodder outfit And so it begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted August 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2012 Strong start to the half from West Ham. Need to get our possession back and do something with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 this is a woeful performance so far. Delph is a waste of space. Take him off and bring an attacker on. Bent is isolated. Diame is a superb signing for the hammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Careful there Vlaar, that was a pretty clear challenge inside the box and it looked a solid penalty to me! Too rash the last 35 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 N'Zogbia head down, no quality. "Delph is a waste of space" Don't be silly, he played well in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of player we should be signing same with Hoillett Oh wait they went to the teams around us who we are competing with to stay in the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Delph is a waste of space He has been one of the best as far as I can see, in a pretty crap side of course. On the second note, the challenge from Vlaar was not a stonewall penalty at all - but it could easily have been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
