Well a lot happened today the referee was awful and has a lot of the blame on his shoulders but we can ultimately only blame ourselves for the defeat.

The first half was very good from our point of view, we controlled the game, passed the ball well and created quite a few chances. However if you fail to take the chances then I am afraid you deserve to struggle but the game swung on a last-minute penalty decision which was just awful, it cost Beye a yellow card for a fine tackle and ultimately his sending off.

However the second half even allowing for the penalty miss and a fluke goal by Young was very poor, lack of control, lack of goalscoring chances and for MON some serious thinking in how we can create goals. Simply put we should not be conceding last-minute goals at either end of the halves and we should not be losing to the likes of West Ham.

Look at who we have lost to now, Wigan, Blackburn and West Ham and it is simply not good enough, when I previewed the game I expected a win, I never expected a defeat and this one will hurt us a lot. It was a massive missed opportunity to go fourth the kind of ones we have missed on regular occurrences recently and it HAS to stop.

Final word, Carew offers us nothing at all, Heskey is well Heskey, what the hell can we do up front with just Gabby ?
