Great goal lalanna. terrific. Wonderful setup by Jay Rodriguez

Well, we don't really have one. That's a stupid decision as well. As is the decision to totally change our system, the players clearly don't quite get it as much as they did last season. I think we've tried to change too much, and tried to be too clever behind the scenes. Success comes from carrying on what you've done well int he past.

Last season was accelerated due to our start, and our momentum. It's easier to carry momentum in the championship and there are lots of horrific teams in the championship. I don't think players like Guly, Fox, Jos, Richardson etc were ever top 2 players. The issue has come that we've put a little too much reliance on them this year, when they're just not good enough. Probably should have replaced more than we did in the summer.

What's frustrating is that in the first half we defended well. We were aggressive, and did all the right things. West Ham upped the game in the 2nd half, and in 2 mins it's 2-0. A decent team will never, ever, ever let that happen. I'm a massive positive thinker, but at this level we are absolutely crap and it's horrible to watch after the last few years. We're here too soon.

We're like Blackpool, but with a worst defense.

no offense, but this amutuar hour. You do not defend like this and ever survive in a league. THis is just painful watching. Same every week, a little 2 or 3 min burst and that's it. Game.over. Keep the score down now.

well it was good whilst it lasted.

2nd half started No changes

Well I think the best way to sum that up is... - Defensively - aggressive and positive in their marking and ball winning - Midfield - tidy, excellent ball retention - Attack - Very little quality

poor challenge by Clyne, lost that one

That's tomkins out of the game then

WHU look rattled.

I wasn't. I was just saying what I see.

real competitive game, feisty.

Jay has looked excellent today.

eh?

Jay's movement is excellent.

brilliant stream, thanks very much for that.

Shaw isn't quite ready yet. I've seen a few games in the U21's and he's been caught a few times. But it does highlight the fact we needed a LB in the summer as a matter of urgency.

To be honest, I think a fair few knees are already jerking.

To stick up for the selection of Puncheon, who on earth else is there exactly? (Please don't mention SDR) He's actually not been bad this year either

Clearly a thread made at the heat of the moment, based on a knee-jerk reaction than anything. It's a bizarre decision which I cannot make sense of, but let's not go hysterical about it.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect if I'm honest with you.

Starts up front through the middle today.

Against a physical team like WHU, you need your physical centre forward out there, right? Ok then.
