False dawn v Fulham last Saturday (just shows what a state they are in). As for us uuuurrrrgggghhhh! Yes time for BFS to go along with half the team. Apart from the misjudgement over the purchase of Carroll do we want a manager who's main aim is to avoid relegation? Where is the club going? Take a hard look G&S. Take a leaf out of Swansea & Saints book. We need manager who will develop a playing style that is in the 21st century!

Agree with you 100% it was painful watching the game last night it's such a shame to see us just hit the ball hopefully up the pitch hoping something happens. Can anyone honestly say they still want fat head as our manager? Our players need a fresh direction and getting a new manager with a progressive style of play might give the team a much needed lift. It will take time to change the the way we're playing but surely it's better to do this sooner rather than let fat head carry on running our club back into the championship. God help us if G/S let BFS spend more of their money I think they need to do the best thing for us as fans and get rid of him and give someone who has the right footballing philosophy a chance to manage our club.

Spot on Chris. I could not agree more. What pains me is that we continue to tolerate this style of play which we as hammers fans have never liked. The way we play football is what attracted me to the hammers in the first place with the likes of Peters, Moore and Hurst. What happened to us? OK, we were a yo yo team but at least we had a go not like this current squad. Imagine if Di Canio or Fergie was our manager after that perfromance the other night

However abysmal and disappointing last nights display was sam cannot be blamed for everything his error and the boards was to put all eggs in one basket with carroll who let's face facts would have probably by now got 3 or 4 goals which would have made the difference to our positionI am beginning to hear a new tale sam has been given a six point minimum target including Fulham game jan 1st this the board think will give us decent opportunity to get out of trouble with new player (s) plus carroll and reid back well that's fine on paper but exactly where on lasts nights showing are those points coming from we have man untd arsenal wba after Liverpool away sunderland and Fulham look as desperate cas us and even if we achieve that the remaining 18 games have to yield 20-22points its not looking great were pushing for gomis or gignac trying to wedge maiga in as make weight whilst stoke and Newcastle (now I hear) have made a cash bid for gomis we are in a haggle for jelavic fee to loan until season end etc with right to purchase (if we stay up)caciedo is looking more likely Unfortunatley defoe and forlan not unless there is a change of heart ( or manager) Maybe we will get a point at Liverpool and get some encouragement there's a lot of points to play for yet IRONMIKE

I hate to say the word, hopeless management by Big Sam, no tactical substitution in the second half which rendered them in the survival battle. His laid back approach did serve no good for the Hammers one bit. Sam was watching the match as a mere spectator should we say. There is no fire in his belly, no motivation, no objective as it is apparant. Should the Hammers foresee a good future then this guy gotto be terminated. Deep deep trouble! I'm amazed to see managers without motivations, may be he needs a kick up the backside for good.

I have been a west Ham fan for 50 years and has never seen them play as bad. Sam Allardyce team were clueless. Its about time we made changes, bring a new manager in before the transfer window in January. Sam says he was livid and blamde the officials but by my observation was that he sat through the match chewing gum while the palace manager was on the touch line urging his team on. Don, t blame everyone else but yourself SAM. The two Davids must make an decision now or we will be relegated. The long ball game SAM plays just not suited for to modern game. Get out Sam we don, t want your style of football at our club. Its ugly and shameful

Pathetic display, pathetic management. Embarrased to be a West Ham United supporter this morning. G&S Should be ashamed they let Allardyce get away with this when we pay good money for this club

Its been said before the Fulham game and it has to be said again and again and again that its TIME FOR ALLARDYCE TO GET OUT and let someone sort this shower out before its too late. Currently we are at best a poor championship outfit with no spirit, no backbone and no fight. Far too many old, past their prime players in this squad being carried by younger players and in the premier league that simply doesn;t work. Time for FAT SAM and hisa cronies to go

In all the years I've followed my beloved hammers I have followed them with pride because that's what I am, PROUD of my club its footballing way, the history and tradition no matter what. I can unhappily say that I'm now ashamed of watching this shower of s*** and the dismal way we capitulate and are unable to play the basic game of FOOTBALL. We have FAR TOO MANY OLD PLAYERS past their prime livving on borrowed time under a manager who has no idea. The pride I have for my club is now turning into embarrassment and i'm afraid to say that I will end up being anothert closet supporter only showing my collours when things go well. FAT SAM ALLARDYCE is destroying our club from within. Last night against palace there was no fight, NOTHING. Best chance fell to NOLAN who we all now know is only in the team because he is FAT SAMs Boy. Things have to change as we've now lost to STOKE, HULL and PALACE

Totally agree, we are losing to far too many teams around us
