The difference in quality is there for all to see. It may be unpalatable, but it’s patently obvious. We got away with it at Blackburn, but not here. Can’t see a goal in it for us at all.

A bit left field I know. But what about full backs playing as full backs, spare centre half's sat back on the bench, and bring in two midfielders from the bench to play in midfield?

We're too predictable and regimented in everything we do. Our keeper has more time on the ball than anybody.

The BBC commentators are so condescending.

Apparently we may struggle with the pace later on in the game! We're league one, not part-time non-league!

That made me angry too , we have to play far more games in a season than TLOWHU.
We gave them far too much respect and they will be told that at half time.

The BBC need to drop the condescension, it's bad enough not having a crowd but when you have commentators .....you just want to switch off. !!

I don’t disagree really. The game is played at a quicker pace than we’re used to and we’ve barely had the ball so I imagine we will tire quicker than the West Ham players.

I wouldn't take the one real midfielder we have on the pitch off, but I would introduce Taylor Richards.

I think the comments regarding fitness is a fair comment, we can't keep with their pace now, and have been chasing shadows, that takes some doing for 90 mins.

Hopefully we can put a bit more of a fight up, and have a bit of a go at them in the second half.

Hung Halliday out to dry that half...

We’ve a very cumbersome back line. They all have some ability but very little agility. You can get by with that in Lg1 but the Energetic, tricky wingers and forwards like the Hammers have just run rings around our less nimble defenders.

What team did Wolves have yesterday and what team have Brighton got out today? I would suggest both would struggle with the team that Moyes has put out today. We are seeing the proper gulf between a good Prem team and a decent 1st Div team.
We will struggle to create any decent chances today with the team we have out today with just Fej up front on his own, we are being totally outclassed in the middle of the park and apart from a superb cross from Taylor we have done little else.
For me take Wright off Halliday back to full back and TR on

The only time the picture doesn't freeze and the bloody players do instead.

I thought I'd seen stats in the past that showed that whilst the Premier League has a better quality of play, they workrate is actually lower than in the lower leagues.

Both Brighton & Wolves have made fewer changes from their last league game than West Ham have.

3 nil now, and they could have scored several times already this half

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

I don’t want to be too critical as we are being outclassed by a good side but I don’t get how Smith is an international player
