When you such an overhaul like we did, you expected a drop off at the start as new players settle in, understand the tactics and settle in a new area to live, etc. not sure what you are going on about "some sort of positive project"? maybe he is the ignore list just a thought like I said in previous points, some signings haven't been good enough but some have been. good enough been McLoughlin, Miller, Gudjohnsen, Alebiosu, TGH, Morishita not good so far been Tavares, De Neve, Henriksson too soon to judge Baradji

We had a guy called Stan Milburn coaching our works team. Jackie Milburn’s brother and Bobby Charlton’s uncle. 587 league games and an England “ B “ international right back. I was playing full back at the time and he helped me a lot with positional play etc. His advice in a situation like that one yesterday were you had to crowd an opponent was - “ Get close enough so your opponent hasn’t enough space to turn with the ball but not that close that he can roll you “ . Or as in yesterday example “ buy a free kick.” Certainly don’t crash into the back of him.

It's the age old problem of players not managing their actions to the circumstances. Under Sparky I remember Lucas Neill being sent off for a second bookable offence. It was a soft second booking for a challenge in the centre circle. When Sparky was interviewed afterwards he blamed Neill entirely for giving the referee a decision to make when there was no need to. Ditto Hedges yesterday.

Who would you have brought on as subs given the players that were being replaced ?

1-1 12,200

Problem I have with this is just an excuse VI is blaming the ref because of a free kick that then led to a goal which they scored its a tenuous link to blame others 90mins and we are 1-0 up why isn’t he coaching the players to manage the time Rather than blame others or make excuses he needs to accept responsibility shocking subs, poor tactics, we should have scored 2 or 3 but we didn’t, that is on us, however we were 1-0 until 94mins and then give an opportunity for a foul in our half, that is unacceptable- it’s poor game management which is entirely the fault of the coach and players lets not get all upset about a free kick when there are things within our control that we should have been doing, hoofing it to row z for example and kicking into their corner flag instead our players are coached in a way that ends up meaning we have conceded 5 goals after 90mins this season, that is entirely on the coach and the players not the ref That’s not even considering how the quality of our players is so poor, we have players from the second division in Switzerland playing for us it’s a joke, dont even get me started on them lot upstairs!!!

Personally think most linesman would flag for that - despite it barely being a foul. It's on Hedges for me. Stupidity, overeagerness whatever it is it was costly.

I thought the referee was very good yesterday and, following the standards he had set, would not have judged that to be a foul. Once the linesman had unnecessarily flagged the referee had little option but to award it

Nowt to worry about. Surely those drainage works that Talbot was going on about in the Fans Forum meeting will have been completed by now?

I see Billy Bonds has died. A really good player in his day A great player if you’re a West Ham fan. I see somebody has written “ West Ham’s best captain “. Err, Bobby Moore anybody ? “

Well I wish he'd crack on and take us there. Then we can finally be rid of the loons.

Lucky it’s a day early that’s been forecast as a day of rain…

The Wrexham game, they know people give tickets as presents. So it’s a cynical Christmas cash grab.

Nah it won’t be as bad like the other one. That was just non stop rain.

Judging by the weather in the next 48 hours this may also be at risk of being called off...Imagine that.

After nearly half a season of hardly any draws i can see a few over the next 4/5 games or so. 1-1

Again, i don't think even they are stupid enough to think this will attract floating supporters they very rarely do anything to do that anyway. This is a desperate punt to try and get a normal level gate for an extra un-budgeted for replay. Almost like a cup game. Most important thing here is try and get the 3 points back we were robbed of and everyone should come together for that. If as many ST holders as possible made an effort to bring someone - wife, partner,brother, father, uncle, bit on the side, someone you've press ganged off the street - then a better crowd makes a better atmosphere and 'should' help the team. Stick it up Ipswich bollocks to the rest of the stuff for one night.

The Arrows - I love rock and roll.

The referee for the abandoned match was Stephen Martin. For Tuesday's match he is the fourth official as he was for Ipswich's match on Friday night. Given Ismael said he wasn't consulted about the abandonment but the official line was that he was it seems daft to me to have Martin stood in the technical area for nigh on two hours. Poor appointing in my view.

Hopefully football serves justice.

Decent point on the road in complete isolation, but the big missed chances at 1 nil up and a last gasp goal conceded makes it feel like a bad result. The problem is with home form so poor, Rovers are relying on away wins to keep their head above water. They need to bag a couple of wins from the 3 upcoming home games. Given 2 of the 3 teams they're playing are currently below Rovers in the table, anything less than 6 points would be hugely poor.

We all said this during the summer. And yet you kept predicting a top-6 finish, so you clearly didn't think it was "always likely". You foolishly believed that some of these dire signings from relegated European clubs would improve the squad and hence the finishing position. But instead of holding your hand up and saying "yeah I was wrong", you are now switching your story.

Exactly---how can getting rid of your best assets and replacing them with mostly inferior ones justify the description of "overhaul"? Overhaul implies a plan.. This is just wish and hope. We finished 7th Chaddy! Remember?

Do we have any good guys 🤷‍♂️

Bit gutted for De Neve as he had a couple of back to back games were he showed a bit of pace and alertness seems to have dissolved somewhat
