[Takashi Miike]

much better second half, this can be won

[ragingbull]

That was a good hit from Ings.

[Chip Shop Charlie]

I really can't fault our effort 2nd half

[ragingbull]

Soucek the one bloke you put your mortgage on to hit the target with his head.

[stubbo]

Duran feels inevitable will score the winner, while McGinn gets Alvarez a second yellow.

[Takashi Miike]

another great ball by AWB, looking dangerous

[pdcwhu]

Yessssssssss Hazzzzzzzzz 

[happygilmore]

We are playing well this half, should actually be a couple ahead. Hope we don't rue the misses

[ragingbull]

Alvarez still has to come off way to inconsistent on a yellow.

[lowlife]

Ahh gawd !!!  Ings

Ings will get a late winner. You heard it here first.

[Ron Eff]

I have no issue with Alvarez yellow today. I often do, but this time he slipped with the ball and had to take one for the good of the team. 

[zico]

Positive subs. Makes a change!

[goose]

OMG we’ve scored!!

fair play to Harry Potter, much better second half.

[Sir Alf]

Ahh gawd !!!  Ings

[lowlife]

Alvarez flying in there, great assist but needs to be hooked imo - nothing reckless needed now.

[Nutsin]

What a lovely cross by Alvarez!

get in there!

[onsideman]

Well deserved. This manager getting some kind of a tune out of this line up is promising 

[happygilmore]

If he doesn't take Alvarez off we will be down to 10.

Oh yeah...

[Ron Eff]

If he doesn't take Alvarez off we will be down to 10.

 

He's a fucking liability every game. Sick of his ill discipline gifting needless fouls and getting carded regularly. 

 

 

That cross was a liability too

[stubbo]

We have some fucking miserable entitled supporters though. Did no one support us in the 90s and 00s? We're not a regular top 8 team and we have an useless cսnt at the reigns of the club, as has always seemed the case.

I can get behind a side that puts effort in like this.

[lowlife]

Get in! Great goal. Lots of fight in this team. Keep tight now lads, keep tight.

[Takashi Miike]

lovely cross by Alvarez

[Keep dreaming]

Get in

[nychammer]

Emerson 1-1 fair scoreljne  !

[stubbo]

This passing backwards shit… 
ffs 

 

 

 

 

It's a function of lacking options up front and trying not to lose the ball.

Is what it is. Emerson doesn't have the pace on the break so it slows us down too.

Worth remembering 81% predicted defeat today, and as of now we're still in it. But the effort is there, and this is more like the West Ham I want to support. Fight, trying to play with the ball, working hard despite the circumstances. 

COYI.
