West Ham 1-0 Cardiff City

Joe Cole scores against us.

Come on lads, hold it together.

I dont understand why hes played Connelly at RB

We need a new RB and LB desperately. Imagine what the likes of Valencia and Nani would do to them?

What did we buy Brayford for?

Also why is Hudson dropped?

Poor preseason means nothing. Turner just lumps it forward and we lose possession because we got Fraizer up front, not a target man.

You could have used better wingers than that.

This is painful to listen to.

If Kimbo & Bellamy could link up better I believe we could have a foot in this game.

From what I can hear, we just need to keep the ball and defend better! All West Ham.

Mark Noble needs to a fly kick to the face the little rat.

Supposedly 50% possesion o.o

I don't remember us having that much of the ball...

Came back at them in the last 10 minutes but no real goal threat.

Connelly looks a bit suspect so every time WH get the ball they playing it out to Jarvis on their left wing and TBH honest Connelly is not coping at the moment.

We're also defending too deep.

THey should be at least 2 up but as it stands Malky can have a word and hope springs eternal whilst the scoreline stays the same.

Keep the faith.

We just need to keep the ball more, I have faith that we will settle into this second half. Nerves out of the way now, come on city!

Why isn't Brayford or Kev on the bench?

Connolly getting slaughtered. I'd even suggest putting much on and moving Gunnar to right back.

Terrible IMO.. its gonna be a long season

Connoly & smith were my worries via Pre-Season. Only thing i can conjure up with that bench is a 4-4-2 with Maynard linking up with Campbell

We're all over them at the mo.

Started to knock the ball around well towards the end. West Ham had excellent home record last season. Agree about Turner and Hudson though. Medel looks neat and tidy. Need Kim on the ball more. Encouraging start to 2nd half

The crazy thing is that whenever we've been in a position to put a good ball in Beller's is not firing and getting nowhere near his target area. He can only get better in this game.

"Their supporters have been terrific throughout the game and Malky can't ask more from the travelling fans" by the TV commentator.
