West Ham v Rovers

[drfchound]

What the f**k was Halliday doing at that corner?

You really don’t like Brad do you.

I don't rate him at all.

Who would have thought that.

[jmt23]

is that not a penalty? there players clearly jumped in to him, with no attempt for the ball

[Bollinger]

So according to Ekoku, Moore is putting his subs on to ‘give them a run out on this big stage’

Patronising *******

[DonnyOsmond]

Lokilo concussed?

[RoversAlias]

I know we're all feeling the sting of being well beaten but I really think the criticism of the commentary is unfair.

For one, it isn't biased. It's a neutral BBC team, Efan Ekoku used to play for Sheff Weds and Norwich, not West Ham, and as for the comments about us getting tired...it's true. The biggest difference between the teams has been the speed of movement and thought, they are fitter than us and all PL teams will be. Wright was blowing after 20 minutes because keeping up with Benrahma and Lanzini is much harder than dealing with third tier wingers.

Butler just took one right in the Jacob's.....

I don’t think anyone has accused them of bias. It’s the patronising attitude that grates.

Iv had to mute the commentary and Iv got our lasses Bridgerton playing in the background

I don't know if someone's had a word with them at half term, but certainly in the first half, many of the things they were saying was wrong, unfair and unnecessary

[Plumbster]

JT had to give it back to Simoes there

[normal rules]

Consolation would be nice for confidence

[EasyforDennis]

And there we have the perfect example of everything that is wrong with the ridiculous off side interpretation by assistant referees. Fej was yards off side but he doesn't put his flag up.

[normal rules]

Ffs

Someone did on a previous page. Anyway, I think it's been standard fair to be honest.

We've been better in the second half at any rate.

[ian1980]

Just as we started to put a few good pieces of play together, bang down the other end and 4-0

[drfchound]

Big shame that they scored there, just as we were starting to play a bit.
T-R making a difference.

[DonnyOsmond]

Taylor Richards is better as a #8 than a #10. Making us tick since coming on. Just needs that consistency.

[normal rules]

Speed, movement, quality.
Outdone in all three departments, in all areas of the field today.
No shame though. I can’t imagine what some of them whu players are on.

[NickDRFC]

Nice to see us actually play a bit this half, push into their half and threaten their goal. I’d far rather see us lose 4 nil trying to make game of it than lose 2 nil and lie down quietly.

The difference is Richards, showing a bit of intent to go forward

[RoversAlias]

I do feel pretty insulted by them bringing on a kid goalie for 10 minutes as if it's a friendly.

[jmt23]

You can now see the importance of Taylor Richards to this team - hell of a player who is at the wrong level with us.
May have been a bit more interesting with him on from the beginning, we would not have won though, WH are just too good.

[anton123]

When Richards came off in the last game he was not happy and ignored Moore as he walked down tunnel, wonder if Moore left him on bench today as a result of this as it’s clear he should of started if it’s off quality alone ?

[drfchound]

No problem with that RA.
It gives the lad a first team debut.
That is all.

[DRNaith]

I don't think we were ever going to be able to compete, I'm just relieved that we haven't picked up any serious injuries, or red cards.

[gillinghamrover]

Did think the same

[DonnyOsmond]

The keeper they've brought on has been on loan at League One so it's not a complete piss take.

[Filo]

Taking the piss in my opinion

[bigbadjack]

I’d be more pissed off if they put him up front

[idler]

How many times do we say blood the youngsters when we are comfortable?
