I'd sell everyone at the club other than bowen summerville and scales

Based on that today Irontodd its hard to disagree with you!
18 Jan 2025 19:35:36
Yup, but here is hoping Potter thinks the same abd that he has learned from today and doesn't make the same mistakes
18 Jan 2025 16:00:10
Mac 3, this was always going to happen somewhere, Let's be honest 2 fortunate goals, against Fulham. // we have NO forwards, if we just had one, of Bowen Antonio or Fulkrug, set up would be different, we don't have Summerville. Either, so no proper out balls, so set up, try not to concede, maybe we get a chance or two, later, unless we get a forward how else can we play, it's boring, it's not preferable, what can you do

Mateta just showed today what a big strong forward can do. He bullied our guys today.
Quite clear Potter has inherited a lot of rubbish and has a bigger job on his hands than he thought, i truly hope that he learns from today and doesn't make the same mistakes because if he does, the fans will start to turn
I hear so many times that West Ham fans know their football, so i hope Potter takes action and uses this window to start and rectify mistakes made in the past.
18 Jan 2025 15:54:46
Not a great first half and not much to cheer about and it's bloody cold. I trust in Potter and on the bright side I hope he is learning from this and it's showing him what we need, and we need a lot.
It's 0-0 which is encouraging so another point is better than nothing, I just hope this gets better soon

We are actually playing once again, on the last day of the window, as we have done before, , we are getting a lot of no no, s, mostly obvious unless clubs, are desperate money wise, have a load of spare players, or have a player nagging to leave, they just don't want to let people go, This is why If I was running the show, I would definitely turn to Chelsea, for a couple of people, as they are overloaded and keen to say goodbye to many, now other clubs are catching on to that , and we may be left behind

I've got faith in Potter who only wants a forward that fits the profile he has set.
Tottenham have seemingly been offered the chance to sign OGC Nice forward Evann Guessand or Jonathan David? How many strikers do Spurs want?
16 Jan 2025 12:15:42
One thing that did make me laugh was the Everton supporter who said on LBC News that what Everton was missing was goals and he hoped bringing in Moyes was the answer. What planet has this bloke been on for the past few years? If he's hoping that Moyes will produce attacking football, he'd be better off supporting Accrington Stanley. What a difference between West Ham's first Prem match under GP and Everton's first game under DM. I know which of the two managers I'd choose!

Totally agree! I have taken a peek at this website but the Everton version it’s quite interesting to see what their supporters are saying. there's a lot of realism about who Moyes is but I have seen a few who have slagged off Dyche as he only plays one up front whilst a lot of the rest of the team are playing really deep!
What does he think he is going to get from DM. Unless the man has had an epiphany. I somehow doubt it
16 Jan 2025 13:52:41
Everton only one point above relegation and they bring moyes in? Not a good move and they have some terrible fixtures coming up. Relegation by any chance and Ipswich stay up?
16 Jan 2025 14:09:10
I think you are right as Ipswich have something about them. The Moyes appointment, I have never seen a more like for like appointment. What was Einstein said about repeating the same experiment over and over again expecting something to change
16 Jan 2025 16:18:42
Football experts will all be saying the same thing at seasons end about Everton and how they should have stuck with sean dyche
16 Jan 2025 18:18:37
We was in a similar position to Everton when Moyes to us over. He did well the next 2 seasons.
The difference will be his back room staff, I don’t think he will do as well. But good luck to him.
16 Jan 2025 19:56:21
Bugger good luck to him! We don’t owe him a thing. It’s down to him that we’ve had a miserable couple of years of negative football with an ageing squad and no strikers! At last we’ve got a coach who knows how to do his job.
15 Jan 2025 19:04:25
Will Summerville be back for Palace?

16 Jan 2025 12:45:21
I think so
14 Jan 2025 22:20:17
Excellent result. Sticky 15 minutes at the start but we grew into the game. Very valuable 3 points. Team wanted to run and smiled. Thought Soucek mom, he is a far superior captain than Bowen. We looked organised and not scattergunned. More of the same please Mr Potter.

The old fight is back as entertaining football returns at last. This is what I’ve been banging on about for a few years. Very strange game at times; we were gifted two goals and Fab was wearing his concrete boots for both their goals, but it was obvious the brakes were off. Now looking forward to Saturday, without that feeling of trepidation.
15 Jan 2025 18:39:45
Still we think we need goalkeeper and central defence, we can have a make shift attack but we cannot in defence.
Bring Aguerd back, was prone to the odd mistake but has the pace to recover, kilman and Mavropanos have no pace and any mistake is punished.
Aguerd and Todibo are a good combo at the back with AWB and Scarles, plenty of pace which should tighten up the back
15 Jan 2025 20:58:33
Aguerd can’t be recalled on his loan, It’s unclear what Sullivan /potter want to do at CB
15 Jan 2025 21:48:11
@tinlegs, we weren't gifted those goals our hard work and organised pressing earned them.
I like how compact we were really mitigated the lack of pace in the midfield, we weren't over run or completely open through the middle of the pitch like under lopetegui. Left the space out wide for them to Pump plenty crosses into our box which was almost our downfall, the subs and changes to the shape potter made mitigated that well.
Players look invigorated, looking forward to seeing what he can do once summerville, Bowen, Todibo are back.
15 Jan 2025 22:15:00
I’m not sure about Todibo, his positional play is bang average, whereas Mavro has s bad mistake in him every game. Neither are secure.
15 Jan 2025 22:29:28
Time will tell, I think there is a good player in both. Can already see the players responding to Potter wether that's a mindset change the tactics or both, I think both of those players could stand to benefit.
15 Jan 2025 23:55:52
AI,
Two of our goals were as a direct result of two major cock ups by Fulham. If that’s not gifted, then I don’t know what is. And we should be pressing and working hard in every game as a matter of course. We shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but without those two obvious mistakes (ask Marco Silva) the scoreline just MIGHT have been different.
16 Jan 2025 08:46:24
We forced the errors imo. A gift for me would be an unforced error but each to their own. Not bothered what Silva thought couldn't beat us when we had summerville, bowen, fullkrug, Antonio, todibo missing.
I mean both the awobi goals were quite fortunate as well if their forwards didn't miss the ball fab MIGHT have saved it.
16 Jan 2025 11:40:22
I think you are both right. There were 2 mistakes made by the defender and keeper that lead to goals but we still had a fair bit to do score on the first goal and Ings uncharacteristically chasing down the keeper on the 2nd created that goal. Fulham on the whole did look the better side but they were unbeaten in 9 games and play fast positive football as a team oozing with confidence.
The marked difference is that under Loopy we’d have lost that game 5 or 6-1 whereas under Potter we battled to the win. As has been said I’m really excited to see what Potter can do when Bowen and Todibo are fully back, sadly don’t see Antonio (I think he’ll retire) and Fulkrug will play for us again. If we can get 2 or 3 new incomings as well, happy days
14 Jan 2025 21:30:53
Well goal we're gifted but we will take it, we hung on, that's the point, and saw the game out against a good side, a good work rate will always give us a chance

I'm amazed, first 20. , we were poor they are dominating, 2 on the bar, amateurish mistake by pereira, great first time take by Soler, then we'll worked second, now we have to keep them out, good work rate installed by Potter
