TGH for Matty James

Great body on the line block from Vyner!

Apart from an indecisive moment in the first 5 mins....we have held them well. Worked hard to win the ball back with some impressive turn overs. Seemingly grind to a halt (literally and in terms of ideas) at the edge of their 18 yard box. We are defeating ourselves at the moment with poor passes and decision making. Still static when not on the ball.....need to love to create space to run into and options left and right. Max, should have done better for the goal but ultimately has 3 immense saves that have kept us in it. Feel like they have another gear they would call on.....just need to keep it at 1-0 and generate some opportunities. Need to just sprint into thier box with the ball and hope to be pulled down. Done well to keep Ward-Prowse out of freekick opportunities. COYRs!!!

Right, been on to BS (aptly shortened) - They are going to ring me back between 1600-1700hrs today- Likely have to collect from Window 20 at the ticket Office at West Ham. Guy said that the tickets were only sent out "late last week" - didn't think to ask when they received them!

Still not got mine - currently on the call with Bristol Sport....will let you know how I get on!

I ordered at 1000hrs on the day they came out - how is it that less than 48hrs to the game and I don't have the tickets yet? Surely they send them as they take the booking?

I had a pair of Gola (from a chairty shop as my parents were always proper skint!).....thought I was Schilachi after I got them....he had more success in front of goal though Love this!

Agree....he tends to grab a game by the scruff of the neck at times and create a few chances.... At least we'll have all the new players that we will be buying....

9 pages - how many times can a bloke leave X (Formally Known as Twitter)?

What is it about not moving with the times I personally like the idea of an away ticket to keep with the printed programme...especially in an age of nothing tangible. (Partially the same reason why I have a vinyl collection)

Not received my tickets (4) yet. I'll start to get nervous around Fri at 1700.

Love this

I have experience in this.....stop at Clarkies a few times.....at least 3 Pies each time.....with be higher than an artic explorers nutsack in no time.

Yes, your memory is better than mine!

Sunderland. When we melted and lost 4-3 (i think) ...that was turgid sh1t!

Yes, but we are playing "front foot football"....clearly this means across the back repeatedly with no forward movement. Simply undone by a patient team who knew that, on the balance of probability, an opportunity would arise.....and it did....on 89mins.....they were playing for a draw came away with much more.....we were playing for a win (not sure I actually believe that now I've written it) and come away with nothing.

Are these still available?

He is getting absolutely no service. The issue starts with a lack of creative midfielders....the link between the defence (which is usually quite strong) and the forwards is likely a sieve......we lose the ball too easily in midfield. Add to that no movement off the ball (especially a thrown ins)....and be become to easy to read. Still have an over-reliance on going down the left. Weimman never in the right position to enable Tanner to play forward down the right....resulting in a backward pass....I've been critical of him.... But genuinely felt for the lad today. People (in the team) jumping on him telling him where to go....and they aren't in a playable position themselves. All in all a poor performance.

You joke....

Not condoning the behaviour.....had the ref and lino given the blatant foul it wouldn't have tipped over.

We don't have a midfield.

No chances created.

0-1

AW needs to play in front of Tanner.....keeps drifting to the centre....when Tanner then gets the ball he has no option to play to.

Nope, it because "no one likes them" (apparently).
