The board want a yes man, and they also tend to be a lot cheaper to sack when the time comes.

I liked Amorim, but he was a disaster at united and he really should have been sacked at the end of last season

Short term he will instil a feeling of desire and determination plus I seem to recall him having a successful time somewhere ( maybe Sunderland ?)

They are not in danger of relegation so why not ?

OGS is a joke .. he was never a leader on the pitch ( when he was actually on the field) - he was the biggest ever surprise manager imho

Callum Wilson at West Ham set to have his contract ended ?!

So they are sacking him mid contract ??

Because he’s never available or what ???

Bloody hell Todibo looks to be a big useless lump in the Hammer’s defence - he either misplaces his pass or kicks it into the crowd !

Nice to see West Ham’s front two have matching neck tattoos

How do Forest go from having such a great defence to this … especially with such a defensive minded new manager ?

Has Bowen even had a touch of the ball yet .. 25 minutes in. !!!?


So many want him to start for England on the right because Saka isn’t himself this season but I don’t rate the Hammer’s guy

It's mutual, we've just brought in two strikers so he knows he won't be getting many minutes. It's a shame as he's actually been decent but clearly doesn't see eye to eye with Nuno

Ahh

What are your thoughts on Tobido ?

Has he any qualities - he looks so uncomfortable on the ball .. he kicks it like someone on SoccerAid and has the speed and turning circle of a tugboat


Bowen finally gets involved in the play -40 minutes

He was rubbish when he first arrived but he's probably our best centre back now which isn't saying much and he still has the odd heart in mouth moment. Mavro is sometimes solid but also too liable to dropping a clanger and Kilman is just awful

Forest losing 1:0 at halftime but look to be a better team and COULD be 2:1 on a different evening

Jesus that was a proper 6 pointer !!


If the Hammers had won they would be just 1 point behind but now they are 7 points behind plus 8 goals deficit

It's bleak, don't think we can survive. Sometimes I feel we're desperately unlucky like tonight thinking we were 2-0 up to it being 1-1 within a couple of minutes then the late penalty which was totally needless and doesn't always get given. But then we've taken no points from Fulham, Wolves and Forest in the last three and haven't won in ten so the table doesn't lie. We are where we deserve to be

Didn’t see any good performances tonight though I wasn’t riveted to the screen

I heard the TalkSport analysts including Martin Keown absolutely slaughtering Tobido in the latter stages of the game !!

Apparently OGS is in extended talks with ManU .. presumably to work with or alongside Fletcher until the summer ??

Imagine if they go on a long , losing streak with the occasional disappointing draw interspersed !?!?

Perfectly feasible given he will be making changes and introducing new ideas and systems to a poor team/squad
