Graham Potter in an interview with the BBC says West Ham will use the summer to try and improve. This man is a moron! If we don't improve we will be relegated. Try and improve, words fail me.

A win rate worse than Loppy and Avram Grant. I can understand some thought he might be a good manager for us after Loppy but can’t understand why they can’t acknowledge how crap he has been.
Was pleased last week but back to normal this week.

Morning Hammer-D, his results have been crap no disputing that but I just believe that you have to caveat the fact that some of the players he’s acquired aren’t up to scratch and others that are better quality (Kudus/Pacqueta) haven’t performed. He also didn’t have Bowen fit for a while and Fulkrug and Summerville injured in his first game. All I believe is that he should be judged on what he does after this summers transfer window as was Nuno at Forest. Also with this owner we are unlikely to attract much better unfortunately. In a perfect World I’d like new owners and Thomas Frank but until Sullivan sells we are going to have to deal with the hand we’ve been given. Irrespective COYI

With the greatest respect, Dabber, that sounds remarkably like excuses and grabbing at straws. Can you honestly say you are satisfied with the team selections, tactics employed, substitutions made, and demeanour/comments made by Potter since his arrival? I totally agree with your comment about Thomas Frank, but surely that confirms you believe Potter is out of his depth because they are poles apart in footballing styles?

Tinlegs with the greatest respect how is saying that somebody deserves a chance with their own choice of players clutching at straws? What would Thomas Frank do differently with that group of players? We all have oppinions who we want as manager. Personally I was and am ok with Potter. Nothing earth shattering about him but I felt and still do feel with different players he could build for the future. If you were the Manager how would you account for the mistake that Areola made leading to the opening goal yesterday? Add to that the disinterest of Kudus and Todibo, the off field problems of Pacqueta, the injuries of Summerville and Fulkrug, the poor purchases of Rodrigues and Soler adding already to the paceless midfield of Soucek, JWP and Alvarez. Non of that is clutching at straws buddy ….

Hi Dabber, like him or not I think we are all resigned to the fact Potter will at least get his window. I do feel it’s a case of do two wrongs make a right. Nobody wants to keep changing their manager all the time but it’s a case of do I think he is really up to it. Like Tin says I think he is out of his depth and has been found out. Not in a fraudulent way. The guy seems a decent fella but just don’t think he knows how to get an entertaining tune out of any squad. Again happy to be proved wrong. It was actually nice last week not to come on here moaning it was a good win although with some caveats. Contrary to what some on here may think ( I don’t include you in that group) I, and am sure the others who are not keen on Potter, don’t look forward to us losing or putting in an anemic drab performance most weeks so we can come on here and whinge we want to see us win and entertain.so I suppose it has got to the stage just to leave our comments each week and make feelings known.
You are right regarding Summerville and Bowen. Fulkrug was missing for most of the first half of the season but Summerville was a massive loss. If he manages to get a few decent players in great and can get us playing on the front foot I for one will be more than happy. My reasoning for saying thanks and goodbye now is because I think you have a better chance of getting a decent manager at seasons end rather than Christmas. We all have to face facts if he doesn’t turn it around by the start of next season we will be in serious trouble especially with all the players, that people want to leave . Kudus and Paq have been poor this season but are still far more creative than anyone we are likely to attract.
You are spot on regarding Sullivan being the root of all our problems but that is not as easy as just getting in a new chairman they have to be the right people not just have big pockets….
Thank god there is only one more week left of this awful season ?

Reasonable response Hammer-D as usual mate. The trials and tribulations of being a West Ham fan, still wouldn’t change my tribe for the World! Enjoy the rest of the summer buddy ?

Hammer D you are so right, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be proved wrong about Potter. That would mean we are playing nice football and top part of the table. As you said, no one wants to keep coming on here moaning, but what else are we to do when we have to put up with Potterball, Jesus I thought DM’s football was turgid but that was entertaining compared to what we have been served up lately. In all my many years watching football I have never seen so many sideways and backwards passing purely for possession sake.
