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.

Not a good day today, but one thing I've noticed on here is that as soon we lost everyone is on here slagging the manager off BUT last week when we won away to Utd no one posted anything until I put up a comment about it. We've got one more game to go so let's get behind everyone at the club and then let's see what happens in the summer, luv you guys to bits, Support the team ⚒️

Stevie I don’t know what you are seeing because I had a look and there was only a few negative comments, even from people who are usually critical. but i wonder if it is more due to some of us feeling completely brow beaten and apathetic. A win rate of 22% is not something we should be cheering about it’s a disgrace, not to mention the boredom on steroids football we are playing. We always get behind the team. But you can feel how demoralised people are in the ground

Normal service resumes. Please tell Potter that just because a team selection and formation beats a team concentrating on a cup final, doesn't mean it will work against an attacking team who are desperate to finish in CL spots. How many more losses is he allowed before we get shot of him? I might be wrong and I sincerely hope I am, but I don't see that there will be any better football or results regardless of who he signs next season. I renewed early as I want to move further down, but now wish I didn't. I think renewal will be only be about 60% due to rubbish football, rubbish manager and morons in charge of the club. I Know I am not the only one who can see next season has got relegation written all over it unless the board accepts they have again made a mistake.

I agree Gerry that system and formation whoever we sign just doesn't work anymore slow boring possession with no attacking guile or creativity in midfield we only really looked like scoring in the last 10 mins before that we were awful

I can’t comment on the game again today, as I gave up my ticket to a mate and didn’t realise it was on sky! Sounds like mixed reviews, sounds like they played well once Bowen scored. Sounds like Guilherme did well in his 10 minute cameo which is promising. One of my basic criticisms from very early on was a complete lack of consistency and that stands. I can’t see them getting rid of Potter at the end of the season so have to hope he can pull a few rabbits out the hat in the transfer window, but find it difficult to trust someone that thinks it is a good idea to start with JWP, Guido, and Soucek plus 5 defenders. I know it worked last week but as you say the manager needs to adjust the team to the way the opposition play. I probably will renew once more, I haven’t as yet but more in hope than expectation.

Despite the defeat, I'm happy with the fight we showed, ref had a nightmare, next week vs Ipswich I'd like to see us line-up
Areola
Coufal todibo kilman AWB
Alvarez paqueta
Bowen soucek guilherme
Fulkrug .
Id like us to sign coufal another season and possible give soler a contact if the price is right and he could drop wages, but considering we lost ast home I saw positives . COYI

I thought Bowen's goal was a singlehandedly executed piece of magic. The other real positive aspect was the introduction of Guilherme. What a player that young man will become. I do hope he stays with us.
We really looked good after Bowen's goal despite some awful refereeing. I thought we'd lose against Man Utd and beat Forest, so what do I know? COYI!

That has to be the worst refereeing display I have seen for a long time. We didn’t start until the last 15 mins. We have to be the slowest team in league.

We started when he took those carthorses off in midfield to be honest

And I tell you what, it shows what a difference a decent keeper makes. The forest keeper made 3 good saves whilst Areola handed the first on a plate and was nowhere to be seen for the second

Kudos will go to a team with players that can actually play and be superb the fact is we have a midfield that doesn't move the ball quickly cannot pick a pass and only wants to play sidewards and backwards it's no coincidence coincidence we looked a much bigger threat when he took those donkeys off yet he persists in picking them so it's totally on potter

Kudus may not have had a good season but at least he tries to make things happen which is more than you can say for the dead wood potter fills his teams with. Another few players that people on here often criticise are Paqueta, Soler and Alvarez, imo these are decent creative and hardworking players. They will probably be leaving at seasons end so unless he gets in some creativity and hard workers to replace them you will get the dross he started the last 2 games with. I don’t think Potter will get the push but he should do, with a dreadful record like he has and the football he has produced so far. We just have to hope the people saying he needs to bring in his own players are right. I fear the worst but hope for the best

Well we'll, I think we haven't played that bad. A bit slow and laboured but Areola would never wear a West Ham short again after today

OK for the first 10 until Areolas mistake, rest of the time poor until we made the 4 changes, Who would of thought putting a striker on and some ball playing midfielders would have improved us?!

Poor performance today. Had Areola not gifted Forest a simplistic goal it would’ve ended 0-0
