In all the long, weary decades of watching West Ham, this was both the most inexperienced team I have seeen, and the biggest defeat, which is no accident. I am angry at Allardyce for pretty much sabotaging the careers of some of our young players. It was 1-0 (and to a soft penalty) after 65 minutes, when he took off Diarra, who was our one senior defender. And 25 minutes later it was 5-0. While we had to play some youngsters, because of the injuries and the Man City game, you need some older heads too. If, say, Demel and Taylor had started, it might have been different. In the first half some of the fans were critical, but in the second half it was real support, which I hope came across on TV. Shades of the 1991 Forest semi-final.mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-73892252916889789402014-01-05T21:32:46.154+01:002014-01-05T21:32:46.154+01:00Terrible day and very like England in Sydney Chris...Terrible day and very like England in Sydney Chrissy. We might feel differently if our best side gets a result at Man City and Cardiff but that's a big if. Lack of passion was worrying, even if it was the kids and Allardyce had to try to get a few more more senior pros in. This was embarrassing.Pete Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492414093187007414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-373949747370006922014-01-05T18:11:25.854+01:002014-01-05T18:11:25.854+01:00Almost as embarrassing as the England cricket team...Almost as embarrassing as the England cricket team...as bad as it gets and I've been a fan since 1969...Chrissy Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452491942706660652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-52734631464881773122014-01-05T18:06:39.703+01:002014-01-05T18:06:39.703+01:00Surely Sam's got to go now.

We need to be trying to play the right kind of football even if it is with the wrong kind of players. This is just Embarrassing.
