Just what we need but Cork needs to put some bite in his tackles.

We lacked a hard bastard on the pitch, too many twinkle toe tackles. Most teams in the premiership have a grafter, a genius and a nutter who lets you know he's about. Perhaps Chaplow could be that option?

This is a too big a step up for most of our young players and Shaw is not ready just yet.Problem is how do you get them ready without playing them? Think we reached the Premiership too quickly for the likes of Prowse, Shaw, Reeves and Chambers and They needed more games to adjust to the players and system.

His comments say that he's been fit to play football for 3 weeks now but his manager is concerned that his arm is not strong enough to take throw ins. Hope to get back soon!!!

Another stat for you, we have the most own goals from one player and the most conceded penalties by a team. Oh and another one for you, Our team have played less long balls than anyone else, we believe in passing out of trouble like Guly did for the Hammers 2nd goal.

If West Ham stick three players on Lambert to keep him quiet then it means the rest of our players have more options to stretch their back line surely? Bring on our two speedy wingers who will tear them a new arsehole! What we don't have any?

Yes I have. All our defenders let in lots of goals while we have one midfielder who runs his arse off and is leading the charts for distance covered but he can't run anymore as he covers for three people already. Plus we have the most attackers that play out of position.

Might as well be with the **** we've had in goal

It's plain stupid to reveal that our system will continue to be 4-4-3. Why not announce the team now so Spurs can plan to beat us just like everyone else is.

Fox & Hos have been our worse players by far, dropped? ****ing right he should as he's not fit to wear the shirt no more. I don't believe for a 2nd Gazza was dropped and I expect to see him back soon.

Curbs is so out of touch with it all IMHO and that's why we won't see Hoddle's & George Graham again.

Time to play ugly and hump the ****er more, look at the way Guly did a flick to try keep hold of the ball for the Hammers 2nd goal? Pretty football in the last 3rd IMHO is a starter point as we can't keep conceding these away goals anymore.

Pick up the phone and get a bloody good defensive coach in who will spend all week with the keeper and the back four. Its a start I suppose, get some confidence back into them and move on from there. If that fails then we are ****ed!!!

West Ham did nothing today while we gifted them everything, shocking display of trying to be a premiership team.

Ole Gunner or Rafa..... Just watched the game today and we gifted West Ham everything, really shocking and I see the confidence is draining from the players minute by minute.

Lee played in a full scale match on Tuesday so I would say he's okay.

Knocking the ball around and jogging, never took part in a full game mind you. I'm pretty sure he will be back before 4 weeks.

I saw him training today which shocked me to think he was out for a month.

Heard he played in a closed door match between Saints in red and Saints in white. A full scale match at Staplewood.

Ha ha why would Rashley Cole leave Chelsea for Saints? I'm afraid we will not attract these players until we are showing signs of getting into Europe.

Following what he is saying, we can't win the league the way we are going?

If you wanted energy then nobody better than Ward-Prowse coming on the pitch, switch Lallane to the left flank and leave Rickie up front who holds the ball really well. The unlucky player i would of taken off would be J Rod. I would go one step further and brought on De Ridder (If on the bench) or the other fast guy as speed helps to break well when under the cosh. I've never believe in defending what you have as you are most likely to score again if the other team advance further up the field.

Totally agree that Rickie should of put away at least one, the good thing about him is he gets in the right positions. IMHO if Fonte was not putting that last minute goal away then Rickie would of & it's puzzling how he got taken off again.

I hope Adkins is given the chance for at least another 7 games but I would also respect whatever Cortese does next because he would find the right person to reach the next level. Catch 22 situation but 100% Adkins in for now.

I too believe we will be fine because the EPL has a lot more Schitt at the bottom with us this season. We need to learn how to grind some points away from home by playing ugly, if it means humping the ball up the field & chopping down their best player then do it. Playing open and sometime attractive football is costing us because we open up too much at the back. I only want the club to start getting some luck and the results will slowly come I'm sure.
