← West Ham United vs Cardiff City - Championship

West Ham come from three goals down to draw 3-3 in Scott Parker’s first game in charge… what is your immediate reaction to that one? 😮‍💨

gordon1davison1w ago

Kilman, Morata and Magasa get rid of the lot. We have a good young centre back in Golambeckis and 2 good young left backs in Scarles and Maya. Still a problem at right back though

dantowen819511w ago

Yeah Mayers was pretty good I thought! Plenty of intent to his game, which we haven’t seen from Morato

jonathan.gorrie1w ago

The worry is that it was again a reliance on individual quality rather than anything else but I suppose he'd only been in the door 5 mins. Need some boring 1-0 wins now like he had at Burnley 😂

pranav.shahaney1w ago

The team showed fight which is what the fans were looking for. Results will follow

cumberworth571w ago

Morato Taty and Solomon cannot start at Blackburn, sell Pablo and Taty in Jan and get someone in up top as well as a CB with pace. Thought Mayers and Kante did well and Bowen was awesome

dantowen819511w ago

Parker said some interesting stuff full time. Basically said he learned a lot from that first half and the second half was what he expected from his team So I wouldn’t be surprised if Piroe, Kante and Mayers all start, maybe Austbo too

peter.lynch1w ago

Has to be viewed as a positive really to show such immense fight and determination to get back… but clearly got a lot of work to do on that training ground, good luck to him

adnan.riaz1w ago

This is Scott Parker lore. They brought him in at the right time.

will.butcher1w ago

Nuno's team in the first half. Parker's in the second. Morato needs wiping from the squad, get Areola in

suede1161w ago

When is Areola coming back?

ray.baxterct19511w ago

exactly what I groaned when Mads walked on

leeclarke05081w ago

The same issues remain sadly. Can't see Morato being a makeshift LB under Parker.

jmcevoy511w ago

Had we not started with Magassa in front of the back 4, we may well have won it. Soucek, Kante are far better players than Magassa which showed in the 2nd half. In the end we were unlucky not to win it.

dantowen819511w ago

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Magassa. Ideally, we’d get Alvarez back in and up to speed. I still think we need someone in midfield who can win possession

dantowen819511w ago

An absolutely baffling game of football. Really should have won it in the end. Taty shouldn’t be in the squad for Saturday. Credit to Kante and Piroe, they helped to change it - and to Parker for making those changes

Parker = quick learner.

charlesjones1w ago

Reminds me of Steve McClaren’s first game after being named derby manager if anyone remembers that

chillout1w ago

I don’t think McClaren was officially in charge for that match you are thinking of, though.

alan.mayo511w ago

Good comeback but we didn't do enough at the end to win it. With time running out there were too many square passes and wrong options. I suppose it's a point gained from 3-0 but having got back to 3-3 it was a missed opportunity to get three points.

dantowen819511w ago

I think Parker will have learned a lot tonight about which players have the spirit and heart for this challenge

johnverrall111w ago

Terrible first half but impressive fighting spirit. Whatever Parker did at half time worked!

ray.baxterct19511w ago

@johnverrall11 Has the Titanic been patched up?

chillout1w ago

Probably showed them a pic of Nuno - and said he’d be back tomorrow if things stayed as they were !

chillout1w ago

Relief. Feels like a win. And we showed fighting spirit - something we didn’t do when the chips were down under Nuno.

jameslloyd14.jl1w ago

Millwall comeback ? 🤔

freddie1w ago

Great fight back but let’s not pretend West Ham shouldn’t be winning this game no matter what! Bad start

chillout1w ago

[DELETED] Also - Boro and Wolves lost, so it’s a point gained.

chillout1w ago

We stopped the rot and it was a great comeback. Full credit to Parker and the players. I’m happy with that. Decent start.

jordan.harris1w ago

Fantastic fightback
