West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Iron Duke]

Knowing our luck, we’ll go down with 45 points.

[Westham67]

Palace 3 down.

[threesixty]

FFS!

[Manuel]

Terrible result. Maybe it's Leeds we have to catch, they have some tough games coming up and we play them end of the season.

[cup of tea]

This result for Forest is massive. With GD they are effectively 6 ahead of us again. As brilliant as the Spurs away and Sunderland home wins were the damage was done in December. A Brentford win here I would have still had hope but I think we're still fucked to be honest

[Mad Ferret]

We’re down.

[twoleftfeet]

No favours done today.

Fingers crossed Moyes does us one tomorrow. 

[Maverick180180]

We’re cursed

[Westham67]

2 up, Forrest, the gods are not with us

[El Scorchio]

Fucks sake. 0-2. Basically the first time Forest have go near Brentford’s goal for 40 minutes. 

[El Scorchio]

It’s extraordinary Brentford haven’t scored here. All the possession and territory. Few good saves a blocks and a slice of luck for forest. Typical for Brentford to have a very weak ham esque performance against a team they really should beat easily at home. 

[Sir Alf]

Forest looking odds on for a 0-1

Defensively very solid. Brentford not able to break them down at all.  

Can see Forest getting another late on as Brentford get desperate

[Tomshardware]

Agree I don't think Forrest are the team that we need to catch.  It's Palace and leads and possibly even Spurs.  

[Percy Dalton]

Palace 3-0 down they haven't won for ten games now so at the moment they're in freefall

[Sir Alf]

Agree Manuel that we do need help but for now just have to focus on competing every game.  The xmas period has stacked everything against us. A couple of home defeats that even imo ( worlds biggest pessimist ) should have been draws. 

Chelsea away always tough. We need more reinforcements. We dont have the squad to compete for 90 mins in any game.  Fortunately yesterday, the game was won first half. 

[El Scorchio]

Brentford have done everything but score in th first half. A bit of help from the football gods would be very nice here. You’d wager it was coming under normal circumstances but as it would benefit us I’m sure it’s leading to a 0-1. 

[Manuel]

Assume other games wont go our way. Just got to find a way of keep getting points is all we have to focus on.  

If we're staying up I think we are gonna need some help. If Forest win today it will be a kick in the bollocks. If they win this and beat Palace at home next we could be fucked if we don't beat Chelsea.

[onsideman]

Fair share of bad luck in those games resulting in the lack of wins. Brighton, Forest. 

 

 

I agree

Over a season your luck usually balances out, but I'm not prepared to accept that we weren't unlucky in those games

We have been very lucky with injuries though

[nychammer]

Big win for forest today if they pull it off. It just means we cant put a foot wrong in games like Burnley away and we'll have to pull of a shock or two elsewhere (maybe something at chelsea?). I still think its too late despite our recent uptick in form.

[RootsRadical]

We never made a peep about the Brighton or Forest decisions.Either or both of those will be difference if we do go down.
Still pisses me off.

[Sir Alf]

Assume other games wont go our way. Just got to find a way of keep getting points is all we have to focus on.  It means getting more players in because our squad ( not necessarily the first choice 11 )  is still one of the 3 weakest in the division Imo

[Westham67]

Forrest 1 up and Brentford

[Westham67]

Chelsea 1 up at Palace

[El Scorchio]

Fair share of bad luck in those games resulting in the lack of wins. Brighton, Forest. 

[Massive Attack]

It's not luck, we only have ourselves to blame for the current position we're in. That's why that 10 game period without a win for example was so damaging to us. 

Hopefully Brentfords ambitions of getting 3rd in the League with a win drives them on to get back in to it.
