Aye we were shite.
Dominated play and Blackburn were decent defensively limiting us, which you'd expect from a Mogga side early in the season. The real reason for our loss was the defence.

I think a lot of our problems at the back stem with having to persist with Ayling in a back 4 due to Jones not being fit to start and Phillips working his way back to match fitness unfortunately. As much as we hate it, we'll simply have to give them time. At least no one has pulled away yet after just 2 games.

Even with Vigil Van Malenda?

Even with mate. Malanda's problem is that he can be great in a strong CB pairing, but can't effectively one man it as he gets overrun.

Ayling is only any good a a 5 man defence, with 3 CBs.
 
Funny old game really. West Hams team that lost at home to Charlton looks way better than the Hull team that beat Man Utd.

It’s a weird old league - hopefully Millwall manage to win it.

If you stay up, it's better for you if we win it, or at least go up (Though it's hard to imagine not one parachute side making the autos and we'd never win the playoffs as the curse of Wembley would strike) 6 points next season and all that.

Obviously if you go down it would be better for you if we're in the championship.

I was actually at the WHU game on Saturday - ended up staying with a mate in London afterwards who is a West Ham fan and had a spare ticket for the match so was invited along

They looked pretty clueless, Nuno will be on borrowed time soon if he isn't already

They are all pretty peeved that they renewed their season tickets on the premise that David Sullivan was gone and there he was on Saturday sat in the directors box, obviously 'resigned' after the allegations come out but is still pulling the strings from behind

Highest attended fixture in Europe on Saturday which you cannot knock but be interesting to see how those gates hold up if they do not end up having it all their own way and they start playing Tuesday nights against Blackburn, Preston etc.

Nah don't be silly. No style of football is unbeatable. It's also doing our disservice to our opponents they look different from last season under Mogga who I highly respect in the game, biased possibly towards him, but that's the way I see it. They should have won against Wolves too.

This loss wasn't particularly on Hellberg though, I don't know what hatred you have of him. As much as I don't like to think about it, we're missing Fry at the back; a lot of our best defensive performances last season were when he played.

Phillips and Jones should be quite adequate to fill his void, but the Boro injury curse has part put paid to that, can't wait until they're able to start, either one with Malanda or both of them used. Instead we're having to persist with Ayling as part of a pair.

IMHO we should be playing 5 at the back until they're fighting fit.

You said that all last season aswell. At what point is it on Hellberg? His overall record with you is W15 D9 L10. Thats not the Guardiola levels you lot make out.

Youve spent big aswell this summer, if he doesnt have you top 6 at Christmas he should get the boot

It’s a long old season, 2 games is no sample size.

If we're well off the pace at Christmas I'd in part agree with you, the only exception being if we somehow have half the first team out for a great length of time.

But the Christmas tat isn't even up in shops yet and we all know how early they like to peddle that nonsense.
