Potters’ return to the Amex was to cause a media gub fest, similar to what happened when we played Chelsea earlier in the season.
With Brighton’s star striker, Joao Pedro out, the Hammers hoped that a result could be possible, which would also conclude a miserable season with four games to go but safety secured.
An early goal from Brighton led to more heads in hands, and to be honest, when do we not have them like that! We haven’t had much success to cheer about. Only a glimmer of hope would come in the second half through Bowen’s magic, providing a superb delivery to Kudus for the Ghanaian to finally break his goal drought, a celebration full of enthusiasm amidst his Saudi links.
Bowen yet again provided an even better assist in the 83rd minute to the leaping salmon, thumping the ball into the back of the net, giving us the lead in front of the sun-full eyes of the travelling fans.
The squad was putting up an excellent performance when trying to get into the lead, but once in the hot seat, defence is the only mentality we resort to which ultimately costs us.
The happy hammers then felt dread in the 89th minute through Kilman losing his man alongside Mavropanos marking the air, which meant that Mitoma managed to slot it in for the equaliser. But from bad to worse, happy to hollow within NINE minutes as Baleba’s wonder strike saw Graham Potter’s side lose 3-2.
Safety is secured through Ipswich’s 3-0 loss to Newcastle, but despite Premier League football secured next year, all that’s left in the air is sourness.
And just so you don’t have to bare it from other media sources, prepare to hear that tomorrow marks TWO MONTHS that we haven’t won.
Spurs at the Bowl next, let’s see how the ‘dumb and dumber’ matchweek gets on.

Cant see it being much better
Cant see it being much better next season either
Low expectation for next week
I'm going on Sunday, not because of the football but a chance to have a few soda's with Bruv and mates
Apparently there is a divide
Apparently there is a divide in the dressing room again. If that's the case. Potter needs to do himself a favour and drop those not conforming.
We are safe now. So he has a free swing in the remaining games. Shame we could not hold on against Brighton, Southampton and Everton. Goals all conceded in the dying stages of the game. If we had held on we would be sitting in 13th on 43 points. 2 points behind Cup Finalists Palace.
So those who don't want to play for whatever reason. Drop them. Play Fullkrug and stick Bowen out on the right.
I'm backing Potter.
I'm backing Potter aswell
I'm backing Potter aswell Enfield although I question his decision to drop Fulkrug. As a bit childish just to make an example to everyone. I expect there is a split in the camp now. Therefore the season end cannot come soon enough..
I've said all along, judge him after pre season when he has new players. The bad apples will become obvious, with whatever transpires in the coming months.
Theres no World Cup or Euros, so nobody should be back late for pre season Trg. The group should be together and I've no doubt Potter will be making that clear. If you don't buy in, there's the door. I will not be playing you anymore. Either leave or go and train with the kids.
Clean slate come August, then there's no free passes from me after that. I believe there will be a vast difference. I've no time for negativity anymore, so I'm going to just wait and see.
The only thing I will bet on is there will be a story that we are not aware of yet. That will break in the coming weeks. You will see what comes out from behind closed doors then...
yes ......always look
on the bright side of life da da da da da da da de da ...we have 4 games to go and we can't go down ye ha NOT
