Bad result in the context of the game. Only the second time this season we've not held the lead

No coincidence that prozone and trackers have coinciding with English football embracing a risk free 'possession' game. Measuring stuff for its own sake

Spot on, each game at a time at least

Bayliss has been poor for 5 or 6 games. Granted he's not a right hand midfielder but even so his play as been rather sloppy.

Because they were great top flight players used to playing on those pitches, not 4th division plodders strangely used to playing on something better.

Not to mention Stephen

We are reasonably consistent to be fair, we haven't gone from big wins to heavy defeats. Our performance level has been pretty average all season, at times being slightly above and sometimes slightly below, this is reflected in our goals against column.

I have no desire to get to the Premier League. Championship would be better, look at that Villa Wolves game this weekend, as much a spectacle as all the PL games except maybe the Daytripper Derby at Old Trafford.

Keep meaning to give it a go. Would also like to try the Byatts one although they're a bit pro Wasps for me (yes I know it's petty)

Yeah, I can really see that. It seems to be more stark, possibly because the ground wasn't even purpose built for West Ham and isn't even that close to Upton Park. Also, as a ground it is the polar opposite. Gates going up from 34k to 55k, the people sitting around these long standing fans might...

I think it's not the 'modern day fan' who is protesting. It's the disenfranchised fan who has followed West Ham for years, reluctantly going along with the Olympic Stadium move due to the promises made by the owners. They're rightly fucked off, West Ham have sold their soul.

How you getting there? In car?

Stop drinking the meths old fruit

Facts rather than assumptions. Facts aren't delusional but assumptions can be.

I have never said that it shouldn't be the expectation. It is my own expectation that we'll have a go. What I'm saying is that it's no foregone conclusion and very difficult.

It's fact you utter drip. Of the 8 teams relegated in 2015 and 2016 only 2 have made it back. That's 25% or 1 in 4.

Because idiots make assumptions. The trend for teams relegated to this league is that they don't often go straight back up. Add that to us being a team who had been in relegation form since January 2016 (when we fell apart under Mowbray) and hasn't finished in the top 6 for 47 years. Against...

Did you really expect us to be challenging for automatic promotion? If so, why? Is Robins to blame for Jones and Andreu being injured? Are the tactics just about using what he's got?

It's nothing to do with budget. They've kept a squad together with the same manager rather than chopping and changing hoping that this time it might work
