Was just saying this on the way home, the amount of balls we had go across the face of goal with no one gambling on the back post or running in to meet the ball was really annoying, the sort of area where Baldock would have finished.Further proof that we need a second striker, esp at home. Had Baldy been fit, fairly sure we would have won that

Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
I couldnt see burnley scoring and thought we ran the game but that dont mean anything if you dont score the goals. Thought cole was good, nolan and collison done good but the big dissapointment is not taking advantage of southampton losing.

Great Sum up...TheAlmightyAmmer wrote:I hope the purists liked it today
Complete domination, not being clinical and conceding two headers, we played the West Ham way today :lol:
I thought some of the football we played today was lovely...especially Young Jackie.
First time someone has come and parked the bus too !?
Just not our day...Burnley were VERY lucky.
Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
Nolan impressed today, he was the one who wanted it most, just a shame he missed an open net.
Faubert was very bad, back to the bad old days of last season.
Not sure about Tomkins at the moment. Not sure who is at fault for the goal but some general dodgy decision making is worrying. That and a pechant to pass back to Green far too much - seriously frustrating!

How can you give credit to a team that only came into our half about ten times mate ??Doc H Ball wrote:Ironically I thought we played some of our best football in the first half, kept the ball down and started where we'd left off in Boro.

Not enough people giving credit to Burnley - thought they played really well.
I thought they were the poorest side i'd seen in E13
Opinions eh :lol:

Jack's movement today was exceptional, the move in the first half when he linked up with Faubert 2/3? times was superb, he also made a couple of nice flicks today was very impressed with what I saw.I thought some of the football we played today was lovely...especially Young Jackie.

First time, and it won't be the last unfortunately.

To be fair he missed our 2 best chances...although he did work hard and earned his place.PaoloD wrote:Nolan impressed today, he was the one who wanted it most, just a shame he missed an open net.

Faubert had an off day and should have been subbed for Demel

Well, they were 1.0 down and looked ****ed yet came back with 2 lovely balls in. They also defended for their lives and actually looked quite comfy at the end.
As you say, all a matter of opinion, but so far this thread has just moaned about our performance and I think that underestimates the effort Burnley put in.
Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
Well done Burnley. Howe got them to react well to our goal and generally they hung in there.
Of course we should have been clear by half time, but why does Sam think Faubert is a striker?
Lots of good performances and a our best passing game, but we miss Baldock.

Still, any other day we probably would have one. Southampton lost and we're still 6 clear of third so no real damage done.

Thought the ref had a good game apart from not chasing up their timewasting...best we've had this season

Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
Strange feeling to see us dominate and come away with nothing. Burnley are probably still in shock that they put the ball in our area twice and come away with three points.
It was just one of them days and im not going to moan as i have see us go to other grounds and be even more jammy than Burnley were today.
Bad day, but Southampton lost so it softens the blow.

Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
he was excellent today and you can see how much he has grown in confidence since earlier in the season. His first few games back from injury he was nervy and kept knocking the ball backwards for a safe easy pass but today he was looking to move the ball forward, Playing through balls and little flicks, hope he keeps it up !RyanWHUFC wrote: Jack's movement today was exceptional, the move in the first half when he linked up with Faubert 2/3? times was superb, he also made a couple of nice flicks today was very impressed with what I saw.

Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
Definitely mate, I'd be happy to see him start forming a good partnership with Noble, just need some game time together to get that understanding and hopefully they can go from there.he was excellent today and you can see how much he has grown in confidence since earlier in the season.

It's a shame he's going to be stuck out on the left again until Taylor comes back from injury.RyanWHUFC wrote: Jack's movement today was exceptional, the move in the first half when he linked up with Faubert 2/3? times was superb, he also made a couple of nice flicks today was very impressed with what I saw.
I hope Taylor's injury proves to be minor.

Re: West Ham Utd v Burnley: match thread
It is a shame mate, looked very good to me today, I also hope his injury isn't to bad. Collison needs playing time in the middle and like I just said I'd like to see him and Noble get a good understanding between them.It's a shame he's going to be stuck out on the left again until Taylor comes back from injury.
I hope Taylor's injury proves to be minor.
