That team screamed of being scared. I understand that the squad is thin at the moment but as soon as we brought Taylor Richards on the pitch who wanted the ball at his feet and drive at West Ham we started to create. DM got it wrong today.
West Ham were coasting when Richards came on.They did a professional job on us. They took the game seriously and we were never going to be in it in those circumstances.Take it on the chin, forget it and win on Tuesday.
You are going to take a bashing for this swain but I totally agree. Out with a whimper and not the look of a team who should be full of confidence. I dont think anybody expected a win but a fight would have been nice.
You are having a laugh, surely? Even if we’d still had Whiteman, Sims and JJ fit, we would have lost that game. We’re down to the absolute minimum, squad wise and it showed. That is the most I’ve seen our back 4 look rattled all season.Recharge and go again on Tuesday.

Out with a whimper and not the look of a team who should be full of confidence. I dont think anybody expected a win but a fight would have been nice.So we didn’t try then? Sorry can’t agree with you. We were up against a team focused on getting the job done and that is what they did. We gave it our best shot we were up against a very good team, high on confidence. Conceding so early certainly did not help.Yes we looked better when Taylor-Richards and Simoes came on but DM picked the team based on fitness and with a heavy league programme ahead.Seriously do you think we would have had a chance whatever our starting line up was today. If a premier league team is focused as West Ham were then it isn’t going to make much difference.
West Ham did to Rovers (41 places below them) what Wolves should have done to Chorley (109 places below them)For me the gulf was clear to see after WHU scored early doors and throughout the game but thats what FA Cup games usually produce when Prem play Div 1 and as BST said above lets batter AFCW as that is where we need to be getting a resultAnyway we would not have beaten LFC

DM got it wrong today. Did you want to win today or Tuesday because DM understood with a depleted side lack quality to pick from upfront , weakness through gaps midfield and lack of numbers over all to select from , so 4-0 was a good score if we win 2-0 on Tuesday in the league .
