West Ham v QPR ***Match Thread***

[vblockranger]

win our home games and draw our away ones and we will stay up. Good point, very lucky but good point

[BUSHRANGER1982]

Can only agree with most of you, totally shyte for almost the entire game, rode our luck outrageously, and came away with a point we hardly deserved.
Oh, well......Chipping away at the points needed for safety, only 4 now.

Great point as we were battered second half but Cesar is fantastic.

he saved us again today. Having a keeper pull of saves like him is the same as having a 20 goal a season striker.

was 5 points from safety now 4 , creeping up slooooooowly.

a point not bad, but could have been better.

A good point. And a good January so far. Many thought we would get no points in January. The tide is slowly turning. Reading winning at newcastle was a Blow but in a way it drags them into the mix. Its 3 from 6.
even norwich and fulham wil be looking over their shoulders. Home games with Norwich, Sunderland and Wigan are crucial

why not sky-rocketing for us :(

We got a point, we're not down yet. We did well first half, let's not forget that. But it's clear we need to reinforce the midfield a little with a DM who can keep possession. Remy looks like he's going to score a lot of goals if we can give him and Adel the ball enough.

After Manchester City we have lots of winnable games. What's with the defeatist attitude?

[Del]

Granero would play with Mbia if fit and he would make a massive difference when it comes to ball retention. Some of Derry's ball use today defied belief. Good point at the end of the day. Chelsea lost there and Man Utd needed some magic from Giggs and RVP in stoppage time the other week to nick a draw in the cup.... Decent point.

Don't underestimate how well we defended there. West Ham are no mugs and for me that is a point gained, we won't come up against any team as physical as that this year (except stoke)!!

Forgot to add that with the possible addition of M'Vila, for me that would make total sense in the middle. He was exactly what we were missing today, defensive midfielder anchor/deep lying playmaker. So glad Remy opened his account at a hostile Upton Park and him and taarabt for the first 20 mins looked absolutely on the same page which really excites me! A really tough place to get points for ANY team in this division and although many thought we played badly, it's so hard to turn the tide against a hostile crowd, a very physical team playing at home & our creative midfielder has gone off! A great result in my eyes and a draw is better than a loss.

U R'SSSSSSSSSSSSS

We were totally dominated after we scored, really had no business stealing a point there! Our only hope was a counter and a second goal when we had the lead, as it turned out we were very fortunate to get anything out of this match! Harry has some thinking to do because we made West Ham look like Barcelona there and I have a hard time remembering a match where we weren't able to keep ANY possesion!

[pauldrayton]

Don't mean to be negative but we've got Man City next week....saying "win our home games and we'll be safe" is fine but we're not going to beat anyone playing like that.

First 15 mins were encouraging and I thought West Ham were there for the taking but it was awful after that. Really need to add some quality. Livermore/M'Vila and a defender or two required asap.

You can see why m'vila is now vital. Agree totally.

[zuluop]

West Ham could and should have beaten us with 2-3 goals. We look like the rest of the season as we do not have a midfield that can hold onto the ball.....amazing that we so bad in that area. Wonder why HR wants to get M'vila....DUH!
Reading winning again they look more and more like us last season but I do not understand why we look like having no confidence in keeping the ball even when we are ahead.......

[classicFM]

My nerves are absolutely shattered watching us every week, we seem to be second best to every team we play , whoever they are, hanging on for dear life
