Massively disagree that we've been playing mediocre for 6 weeks. West Ham overall was poor, though still had 2 big chances in the 2nd half to win it. And yesterday against Bournemouth was shocking but prior to that the performances were mostly good where we created enough chances to win games. I also disagree that the approach to the transfer window was appreciate what we've got, think it was more a case of we've got a plan for the summer and we don't want to risk that by making moves now which have no guarantee of paying off.

He was awful, was quite surprised at how bad he played but it's only a concern if this becomes the norm, which I'm convinced won't be the case

Personally wouldn't consider criticising him, I also refused to criticise him last January as I don't think it's warranted. He was backed by the board in Jan 2022 and he more than repaid that, he was backed in the summer and he more than repaid that. He wasn't backed this January but not necessarily in a negative way, think the club are waiting for the summer to do their business and it makes sense to stick to your plan. I'm confident Howe will get us going again and finish the season well. Then it's over to the board to properly back him so he has a squad to cope with hopefully European football.

He was awful today, probably his worst game for us. I think the limited squad is starting to really affect us now.

How did we not score there

Not really started this half well, not helped by the ref with some of his decisions

I thought that initially but having seen it during this half time break I'm convinced he was passing to Longstaff

Bit of a dumb post considering the part he played in our equaliser

For anyone looking at the BBC match stats thinking we are well worth being level are not seeing the other more valuable stat xG 1.35 v 0.54, 2 big chances to them for our 1 Lucky to be level but hopefully we can be much better in the 2nd half

Yes Got some strapping on his thigh but lasted a few mins longer before going off

We've been awful, one of the worst performances I've seen from us in a long, long time. The positive thing is that we are level and our goal was lovely. Need to step things up in the 2nd half otherwise we won't be taking all 3 points.

So much crap A lot happened but it started with a shit pass from Longstaff

Delightful chant for Fraser from the home fans

Howay, please win.

Brighton and Spurs dropping points, huge opportunity to build a gap.

Some fans being extremely impatient by writing off this loan move. He's moved halfway across the world, playing at arguably a slightly higher level, still only 18 so there is bound to be an adjustment level. Lots of football left to play, only fair to judge his loan move at the end of the season.

Someone at work has just logged in and applied for the ballot, was fairly straightforward and just a waiting game until Tuesday for them

Mackems get another They have 4 mins to grab an equaliser Wonder if those fans that left have tried to come back

Got Man-U 3-2 written all over it

Emphatic finish, lovely

Rigg on for Sunderland

Well worked goal that from Sunderland

Still think Man-U will get back in this, probably via a questionable decision too

Initially it didn't look like working as Sunderland were dominating, fortunately Fulham stepped it up

Tbf to the Mackems they've been the better side this half, dominating the game right now and somewhat unlucky not to be level
