We didn't deserve to win on the balance of play, but to have got so close and missed a couple of good chances is frustrating. Norwich had 19 shots but few were on target and when they were Nardi again showed his worth.
The ref was poor giving Kolli little protection, although his dramatic attempts to win free kicks didn't help. And how we end up with 3 bookings is odd.
We did little going forward but there were definite signs that Illy is getting back to his best and generally we passed the ball so much better than in the Swansea debacle. Paal also had a better game. Varane had been playing well in midfield but isn't so effective in his own penalty area defending corners and free kicks.
It makes those occasional (but still too frequent) slow starts and no-shows difficult too understand. Apart from the moment he gave the ball away in his area Nardi was excellent. Nardi or Dunne MotM for me. |

Difficult to win a game when Ramsdale, HB, Bednarek, Wood, Bree, Aribo, Dibling, Armstrong, TP, Lallana and Manning all have a nightmare at the same time.
I think we need some new players. |

<Sigh>, this match proved that we do not have the personnel anywhere on or off the pitch to compete in the Premier League. Anything we get from this season has to be seen through such a lens—because any hope we draw from following matches, no matter how valuable it is, will be short-lived at best. |

Play archer and tall paul together. Bring in manning who can throw the ball long and cross it in
We were over run in midfield without Downs or big les .
If their equaliser had been our goal we all know it would have been ruled out by var and the refs/var have had it in for us all season .currupt.
Another loss but marginally better than under the previous manager i think we will see more improvements and hopefully he can attract quality players next month
Curious why tall paul was taken off ? We need

Disappointing outcome after a reasonably positive start - and a goal! Once they got going Palace overwhelmed us in midfield - curious team selection there for us - and put the centre of defence under sustained pressure. KWP and Fernandes showed their ability to make a difference but the rest were average at best. Got to start Archer over Armstrong next time and have Lesley and Lallana on the pitch for longer. Manning in for Bree. A few tweaks for us to get something from Brentford. |

Created very little. After being unlucky against West Ham and looking threatening, today was very disappointing. Palace deserved winners. 15 defeats from 19 games. Truly awful. Fernandes suspended for the Brentford game too. |

In his post-match interview Marti says he has ideas why the team sometimes (quite often) plays so badly in the first half. He's thought this for sometime.
So what is the reason? And why hasn't he been able to sort it? It looks like the players get above themselves after a few decent results and think they can stroll through the game or get lucky. But if Marti can prepare them to play well from the kick off against Preston why can't he repeat it? I wonder if he thought this was an unwinnable game after losing Cook and Morrison so didn't prepare the team thoroughly, but I think that's unlikely.
Anyway absolutely dire, even worse than the first half against Oxford. Hard To pick out any positives, but at least Clarke-Salter and Fox got game time and there were some flashes of Chair getting back to his best. And Ashby is proving his worth as cover. |

If we had started the season with the aim of gaining points and trying to stay up rather than the totally indulgent idiocy served up by RM then who knows what might have happened. Our problems scoring would probably have done for us but at least today we created chances. Alright, Wet Spam aren't great but they are mid table and we were at least as good as they were. The defeat didn't feel inevitable like it often did under RM. Of course we are doomed but at least we are now at least trying to get points. |

Hesitation or indecision by Ramsdale resulted in an unfair goal and defeat. Otherwise it was a very spirited performance and big Paul may not have scored but surely he must be a first pick next match and hopefully with Archer alongside him. Dibling not quite the player we were hoping for and rightly used as a sub. We looked Ok attacking and the defense was ok. |

A huge improvement but just not good enough where it counts.
West Ham are not a very good team. And yet we just couldn’t break them down.
Why? Because increasingly we are seeing what a shite job Russell Martin made of the first four months of the season: if we had played like this from the off in August, there is no way either we would have lost today or be stranded at the bottom of the table.
We are stuffed. But at least we are showing some fight. |

I thought I was watching a completely different team today. but alas the same depressing outcome! I think there is potential to get better. Faster, more direct play seemed to suit. We created more chances but were ineffective in front of goal. Also, the offensive effort tailed off second half. Worth persevering with Tall Paul and getting balls in the box more often. Link up play needs to improve. KWP played well, Fernandes, Wood and Lesley all
earned their corn. |
