Lacklustre would be a positive way to put the result.
So far during this transfer window, West Ham have sold high and bought low, which is to be expected of a relegated side, but one thing that they haven’t done is secure and reinforce what was retained, and now the price is being paid.
With the transfer window closing in two weeks, West Ham have yet to sign a central defender to replace Axel Disasi. Nuno has also gotten certain players that he wants in, but the message is clear. More is needed.
A dreadful first goal to concede set the tone for the match. Upon review, it is dreadful defending, and the term “mark your man” must’ve been lost in translation; Hermansen hasn’t covered himself in much glamour either, after the slow reactions cost us the first.
All the possession and nothing to show for it. The Hammers ended the game with an amusing 77% possession but only a sole goal to our name against what’s tipped to be one of the poorer sides in the League.
The second goal was a virtual nightmare. The losing of the ball and a good finish, admittedly, but you cannot make these mistakes in the Championship as it will come back to bite you.
Charlton took advantage of West Ham’s errors, the story is simple.
After debutant Piroe at least provided a sliver of hope with a goal, it was let down when Taty Castellanos hit the post from the penalty spot after we had won a penalty.
This afternoon, there was no excuse for the final score. West Ham should be winning these games and also NEED to if they want to look to secure promotion.
Disappointing in both boxes, and West Ham need to work on both. New signings are also required to help try to gel this team together, as it seems to be currently full of magnetic repulsion.
As well as Pablo and Tomas Soucek being injured, it also now appears that Konstantinos Mavropanos has an injury this afternoon, leaving West Ham with the only possible central defender pairing of Max Kilman and Joel Veltman.
These are crucial times for West Ham, they simply cannot mess up the remainder of this transfer window. That is a must.

Nuno needs to go
Get Bellamy in...we don't have the money to do that...yes we do just will not be done....Taty does not want to be here Mav looks the same Kilman my God we are stuck with him Scarles will be burnt out by end of September the amount of ground he is having to cover and it shows in his defending or lack of it..Bowen still not captain material and i am not calling him out on his debut but Engels looks light to me...no leaders no direction and a manager that is only taking us in one direction ffs will the board stop their pissing contest and do something...60thousand will soon become 16thousand
And one more thing to add
Taty not a striker played upfront the new striker played behind...exactly the same thing he does with Pablo who is a striker....Nuno no clue none what so ever.....i do not want to see that man in charge when we play Millscum.
Agreed with all of that Bikey
Agreed with all of that Bikey. We need a manager who goes to war every weekend and gets a result. We have not got the time to piss around. Either on the pitch or at board room level. Now, stop your willy waving and put the supporters first. This is beyond dog shit!!
Louis
it was 1-2
No way do i want Bellamy you
No way do i want Bellamy you must be joking,i would rather Di Canio,get Eddie Howe in he would be better,i will keep banging the Staveley drum,as Kretinsky aint up to it thats why we are here,and none of the rest are either,this club is like a house with the same owners for 50 years,with the attitude of,oh thats ok,or oh thats the cheapest option,we will be ok but looking drab and dated.......Dead beats,piss off and get someone who can.....Pricks
