We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday’s Premier League game<\/a> between West Ham United and Brighton.<\/p>\n

Here are some of your comments:<\/p>\n

West Ham fans<\/p>\n

John: A crazy first half and nobody knew what decision the referee was going make next. At least we started with a striker this time. Unfortunately when Callum Wilson went off we struggled, the bench didn’t have any quality to really make an impact. At least we didn’t lose. Poor Nuno has a mountain to climb with this rabble of a club.<\/p>\n

David: No question we’re a better team with Nuno. We could have easily won the Fulham<\/a> game as well as this one, but for a couple of defensive lapses and some bad luck. If we can get a forward and a centre-back in the transfer window, there’s still a chance.<\/p>\n

Joe: We truly are our own worst enemy. It’s either terrible management by the board or awful on field decisions. Jarrod Bowen is a true Hammer but the rest look uninterested in what happens to the club. Another nail in the relegation coffin, I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

Ray: I was OK with the starting line-up and it was great to see Callum Wilson starting and playing with a striker for change. But as soon as Nuno started making changes, especially pulling off Wilson, it all went downhill. Nuno has got to go.<\/p>\n

Brighton fans<\/p>\n

Rob: How different it looked when Kaoru Mitoma came on. The team has clearly been missing his ability to take on players and create chances from the wing. Time to give Tom Watson a start to show what he can contribute.<\/p>\n

Tim: A chaotically entertaining game of very little quality but plenty of commitment and drama. Neither team could defend or gain any sort of control in the game. A draw was probably the right result despite the dubious VAR call for the Lewis Dunk ‘handball’. Good to see Joel Veltman back – the only calm head in the Albion team.<\/p>\n

David: Good first 10 minutes of attacking play meant we could have been two up but then we conceded a goal and the old mentality returned. We forget going forward, instead backwards and sideways passing prevails which get us nowhere. Forget Europe, concentrate on avoiding relegation, which is where we are heading unless there is a permanent change of attitude or maybe management.<\/p>\n

Graham: Bad team selection, slow in making substitutes, lack of motivation and young players not being given a chance. Bye bye, Fabian Hurzeler. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday’s Premier League game between West Ham United and Brighton.
