Dear oh dear oh dear. Just can not score a goal, even against 10 (effectively 9 at the end) men. 2 points dropped IMO.

I didn't see the game but I have to say as a Hammer I wasn't expecting anything from that beforehand so a point won with 10 men is a bonus. Still for two teams that were in the Championship a few years ago this is fun. You lot must be delirious! biggrin

We needed a striker in January and didn't get one

We are blunt up front. One goal in the last three is not brilliant. Sure we are good at the back still and the spine is strong, but the chasing pack is closing in and we lack fire power. Makes me wonder if J-Rod was back and as sharp as he was last season if you'd see Pella on the bench by now.

Pelle is certainly well off the boil. Looks like they're stuck though, with no one else available. At least there are 10 days until the Liverpool game so perhaps Schneiderlin/Alderweireld/Gallagher will be fit by then?

And we have 2 games in between then

Nervous as hell about Sunday, and gutted I missed the tickets frown

Reckon the atmosphere will be rockin! Not sure if we'll get a result, but I'm treating it like a cup final. In reality, it's a 6-pointer anyway.

Read Jay Rod due back in training at the end of Feb. Just in time to get him fit for sale in the summer then rolleyes

I'm not sure if we have a TV jinx or just a jinx when I watch the Saints play. Live they seem to do well (City aside, but Old Trafford was a high point of my attendances this season), but on the box whenever I watch we seem to trip up.

Sorry boys, but I won't be missing the match Sunday though. COYS.

Hmm, not sure about Sunday. I couldn't source a ticket so pub (or hooky stream) for me. If Saints can score an early goal then they're definitely in with a shout, but the goals have dried up of late. I am not optimistic.

A real tough game to call.
A shame Toby will be missing. I still think we have enough about us to win this one. I am sure RK will pick our quick wide men to get at Liverhamptons back line.

As I feared, still can't find the back of the net. Scousers took their chances and scored. Ref didn't have a very good game. Can't see any light at the end of the tunnel TBH. *sigh*

A poor result yesterday and some shocking refereeing decisions.
Those aside we are becoming a very predictable team to play against. We do not create enough chances, we do not possess a midfield that wants to drive at opposition defences.
Pelle is starting to get a lot of flack but we do not put the ball into areas where he can score goals.
Still positive we can finish in the European places.

My first away game for quite some time at WBA and sadly another poor display. Pelle even looks frustrated. Now to face Palace who beat WH in their own back yard. Down to 6th frown

COYR!

Cant see you staying in the top 6 now - shame as you have been really good this year ...
Still, I am sure anyone of you would have taken top 8 this year.

Hooray! 3 points! clap

Wasn't pretty to watch, especially the first half but it will do nicely.

that's 49 points... a great total and I'm hoping we can get into the 60's this season. Tough game in 10 days vs Chelsea, but always good to test yourselves.

Winning ugly leads to success in this league. Sounds like it was more of the same, only we got the rub of the green at the end. Happy days!

RK reckons 61pts to secure Europe for next season, seems legit to me?

12 points from 10 games... I hope we can achieve that. Man City and Chelsea away are the tough ones although I hope Many city are close to the title and in jittery mood
