We look so slow and weak compared to every team we play.  We went ahead undeservedly really and second half Wolves dominated. Their subs changed the game and Potter didnt react.  Or shoyld I say he got it totally wrong. Kilman for Aguerd WTF

Our CBs cannot handle crosses and big target men. But we lost the midfield totally second half and could not progress the ball forward and we have not been able to play thru midfield for the last bloody 10 years if we are honest? Perhaps longer? We have only really been successful for 18 months playing low block, low possession, compact, narrow with counter attacking and set pieces before Moyesball was sussed out.

We really don't have a clue. Every other team in the entire world manages to get it together and buy the best players they can afford for the right positions and play as a team. We have wasted hundreds of millions on utter shit that can barely manage the basics. How hard it is to go out and buy a few defenders, a striker under the age of 35.; We are just dicking around year after year. It's all hard work. I've got a headache now.

This is the worst west ham squad in modern history.

The wrong players signed with many simply not good enough and key positions ignored.

Sullivans tried to do things on the cheap and it's backfired big time 

The manager is in the Roeder / Avram Grant mode and possibly has the negative traits of both.

I can't believe I am saying this but it may even require the likes of Fat Sam to come in and at least get us organised and harder to beat in order for us to have a chance of staying up.

What self respecting and aspiring manager would want to join the West ham circus with the poison dwarf calling rve shots ?

An absolute fking shambles.

He never played him and he should have tried to keep him whilst his stock was low. He allowed him to leave and for Roma to now have him where Roma have taken to him already. Ferguson would have been the Striker we needed at the right time to grow.

Two transfer windows so far, and he’s had that lame duck Ferguson on loan, Diouf (who does look OK) and that shocking non-keeper to show for it.

He was brought in to overhaul Loppy’s shite side. He can’t manage or coach, and he can’t get transfers over the line.

As I said last week. The current West Ham team is the worst I have seen and have been going since 1963. No-one has a clue about managing the team and every expensive player brought in has turned out to be a liability. Cant hold on to the ball for more than two or three passes. three hopless centre backs and a clueless midfield. How many games have we seen when we throw away winning or drawing position? You even come to expect it now. WE deserve relegation followed by a clear out. It seems the only way forward. Even a modest team like Wolves look good when playing us. No grounds for any optimism here. Or to put it more succinctly: Wasn't that a load of fucking shit!.

Cowardice of the highest order, firstly in not giving some of the young players a game and then after going 2-1 up just hoping to defend the rest of the game when any idiot could see that Wolves were going to go for it.  

The defence was then under constant pressure, you have no midfield and no-one up the pitch to threaten at the other end.   Potter played right into Wolves hands.

Why would anyone have a pop at Bowen? He’s about the only player worthy of the shirt. 
 
 
Personally I don't blame the Away fans having a justified pop (even Bowen who is Captain), or for Bowen to have a nibble back, shows he fucking cares which is a damn sight more than most of these gutless wankers that currently play for us. He doesn't deserve our Clown Show of a shocking Football Club.

Often thought this should be tried. He's slow in midfield, stick him upfront and get some goals and put a fast youth player in midfield.

Potter needed to make changes after we scored and started sitting too deep. He took off Aguerd and Kilman made us look weaker at the back. Then too laye he brings on Fullkrug who woukd have given us an outball.  

We cannot deal with crosses and cannot handle midfields that come on to us. We look so weak in challenges all over the park. And Paqueta aside from his goal was poor second half and so weak.  He should be deeper as a no 8 not a no 10. We dont have the players to support him as a 10.

Potter’s in game changes not made. Thats what won them the game in the end.  But dont be fooled, our team/squad lacks the leadership, fight, physicality and speed to handle the Premier League. 

Can it get much worse? Yes, Forest away will prove that.  

A change of manager will come eventually but short term we need at least one commanding CB, 2 more central midfielders, a central striker and perhaps even a GK although Areola was not really at fault for their goals. 

We are doomed lads as it stands. Trying to play a system where we still dont have all the types of players we need to make it effective.  JWP yes busy, involved in lots of passing moves but always has to turn back or sideways and looks so lightweight and slow for the modern day Premier Lge.

Relegation looks a certainty as things stand. Prepare for the worst and hope for something better.  How depressing being a West Ham supporter has it been since a brief highlight night in Prague. It just gets worse and worse.

They didn't have anyone to mark until that striker came on for Wolves. Once that happened, it was game over, regardless of what combo of the 4 we had on the pitch.

Potter has now had two transfer windows. And we are considerably worse for it.

People can argue the toss about whether he’s had board backing etc. But it’s all irrelevant. We have a shit chairman, of course. But we have a diabolical manager. And he can take that smug, ineffective 13-year-old sidekick Jimmy Krankie cսnt-with-a-laptop with him, too.

Bowen probably engineered an altercation with the fans, hoping the fans turn on him, thus enabling him to leave.

Potter has to go although I fear even Pep wouldn't keep this lot up. We were being over run and he was probably going to bring Irving on for the slow coach Rodriguez but sat him down when we scored. But the problems remained despite scoring. Then even at Sunday League level as a manager you do not change the back line when you are winning unless you absolutely have to. What on earth is he doing? Bowen isn't a Captain, although not sure who is, and needs to play on the right. You may as well stick Soucek up front, at least he scores. Can we get back Benrahma and Fornals as they were better than this lot! And Fabianski a better keeper than the two we have. Other problem is even though they weren't going to play we have lost a lot of characters in the dressing room. Can imagine Coufal, Cress and Ings were big voices and at least seemed to care. I'd honestly take Big Fat Sam over Potter, it's that bad and we aren't going to get the 6 or 7 players we need to stay up.

A heavy defeat at Forest and I think he’s gone.

Three games, three defeats and 11 (read it) goals conceded.

Sullivan is a Del Boy spiv cսnt. But Potter is a complete fraud.
