Graham Potter woke up this morning and might’ve finally realised how difficult transfers will truly be.

The club was met with the warming impression that Lille midfielder Angel Gomes is likely to not join West Ham on a pre-contract agreement after his seeming rejection of £100,000 per week.

In response to this, the club are planning to side-eye the English international and move on to other targets, with the idea of revisiting January target Ezechiel Banzuzi, who’s set to be available for £10,000,000 come the summer.

Two changes from the starting 11 today, with Aaron Cresswell and Ollie Scarles making way for a return of Mavropanos and Emerson.

For some reason, Potter has seen some light in the Greek and decided to give him yet another chance, which, seemingly in the 22nd minute already started to show worries when he became invisible, letting the ball go through and forcing Kilman to pick up the pieces.

The best effort of the half caused a stunning save from Pickford to be made, saving Brainthwate from the embarrassment of an own-goal after nearly deflecting it in.
