Found that strange aswell. Also how about leaving at least 1 bloke up when defending corners so when the ball does come out it doesn't instantly get returned back and we have an outlet.
BFS never has played that one...madness isn't it.

Not true Romford , he definately was doing that earlier this season - at one stage even being intelligent enough to put our quickest player in that role to stretch the opposition .

Mind you, it's the sort of thing I would expect a decent onfield Captain to sort out............

When defending corners why was two of our tallest players not marking players Piq was on the post and Papa on the edge, made no sense.

McDermott did his homework on us yesterday,and got it spot on,they knew how Tomkins & Faye play,and Hunt and
Le Fondre pulled them out of postion many many times,the ball over the top of Obrien and Macartney,paid dividends,and
ultimatley Joey got the hump with it,true the sendings off,changed the result,but in my opinion,BFS substitutions,murdered
us,Piqqy had to be replaced,and Papa left on,i felt Jack n Mark worked thir proverbials off in midfield,and were left short handed
far too soon,the sooner we get wide midfielders/wingers in the side the better,I would pick Freddie against Barnsley,and JC

Gonna make that my last away game for a bit. Quite enjoyed the day despite the result. Had a skinfull and I thought that the atmosphere was good, but a few things really hacked me off, like the group of 'fellow fans' who decided to c**t me off for daring to try and chat to them on the tube home. :thdn:

Pfft, they've won their cup final again.

We were due a blip, lets put it behind us and get on with Christmas games. Two losses on the bounce and we're still second and within spitting distance of Southampton who also seem to be stumbling a little.

Don't let a few idiots put you off mate, I went to the game on my own yesterday and got there much earlier than expected so spent quite a bit of time in the pub and got chatting to 4/5 blokes that were West Ham, happy to talk to me and I was happy to talk to them etc, not everyones like it mate.
