FT: WEST HAM UNITED 3 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Der Kaiser]

Realistic chance that the entire bottom 7 will have lost by tomorrow night, if that is any consolation. We are very lucky we are in amongst what has to be the worst bottom half the premier league has ever had.

That being said, tonight is on Warnock, probably the first game this season I'm comfortable saying that. The tactics and selection coming in were far, far too conservative. Why stick with Ralls who has been poor for weeks now, instead of shuffling Camarasa into the middle, and putting some pace out wide ? Really poor night, on to saturday... another must win.

No it isn't, we played well and should have been ahead at half time

[Don Corleone]

We were doing okay up until the penalty. The miss seemed to affect our confidence and boosts West Ham’s.

I thought we were doing fine after the penalty, even into the second half until they scored.

We were indeed
A mix up for their first goal and then we’ve been at 6s and 7s
All over the shop,

[City123]

WE'VE DONE A GOAL

Relax - we're still 16th, a single point behind Newcastle and Palace, a point ahead of Udders.
Beat Southampton on Sat and we jump to 14/15 (depending on Newcastle (at Everton tomorrow)

This was an excellent opportunity to pick up some points away, West Ham were awful

It certainly was. West Ham were looking far from convincing and you could sense that their fans were starting to get restless. Then THAT penalty..

[NYCBlue]

They were better than us.

[BlueArmy 86]

We were the better team until they scored. From two players jumping for the same ball and gifting it to them. Had to make a change then. What’s the point waiting until 3-0 to make a change

[Carl Dale's Mole]

We were doing fine until Morrison/Bennett forgot they play on the same team.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Goal of the season there.

[Der Kaiser]

Hopefully Spurs kick the shit out of Southampton tomorrow. As do Leicester to Fulham.

[bobh]

The fight-back begins...

How much stoppage time?

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Bit more respectable

[Carl Dale's Mole]

WE CAN STILL WIN THIS.

[Spooky Tree]

You can tell our players just don't have the quickness of thought that experienced premier league players have. Can't anticipate passes, can't close down space properly (or at all, really).

That performance tonight reminded me of Preston away last season when we were absolutely woeful, we literally could not do any part of the game right.

Things have to improve on Saturday. Ralls needs to be dropped for starters. Offers nothing.

If he'd have scored that penalty it probably would have been a different game entirely.

100% spot on

[Carl Dale's Mole]

I don't think we were "absolutely woeful". It was a very even game at half time. Defending for the first goal was absolutely woeful however and it fell apart after that.

Our heads go whenever we concede a goal. It happened on Friday but Wolves didn't capitalise.

[Baloo]

Our heads go whenever we concede a goal.

Except for the 3 wins when we've come from behind.

[surge]

Positives? Huddersfield lost and....we scored at the end to help our goal difference a bit. Any others? I don't think so.

Move on time.

Palace lost too!

[LeningradCowboy]

Morrison has made so many mistakes this season.
