Brighton vs West Ham October 5th, 2018

finally... Yarmolenko gets subbed...

Lucas Perez comes on to replace him

20 minutes to save our season...

Murray almost gets a second with a header from a corner...

18 minutes for us to save our season...

Here's the Guardian's take on things a couple minutes ago...

69 min: Have Brighton survived the storm? A West Ham goal looked inevitable in the 15 minutes after half-time but in the last 10 or so, the home side have come right back into it and the Hammers look a little short of ideas again.

can't say I disagree...

and Murray almost sinks it over the flailing Fabianski... but we survive


15 minutes to... you get the picture

10 minutes to.... yadda yadda yadda

we're still trying but just not getting there...

it'd be one thing if the game was a tense but kinda dire 0-0

but we've lost this unless we pull out something special that we haven't managed in 81 minutes of open play...

noble comes off and Snodgrass replaces him.

ugh... 7 minutes plus stoppages to get us out of this mess

free kick right on the edge of the box...

Arnie... Snodgrass...

and over the bar it flies... just like our dreams it's high and wide...

well, it wasn't wide... but as the comms states... a miss is as good as a mile...

5 minutes of added time coming up...

might as well be 5 hours...

Brighton get the ball in the back of the net - fortunately they're way offside....

just to try to keep things interesting...

5 minutes to save our season as Arnie blasts over from 5 yards out...

Absolutely dreadful in the final 18. Like we've forgotten what to do.

Declan rise is great

So is Arnautovic

Everyone else is just kinda making up the numbers...

the BBC sees it thusly.....

89 mins
DISALLOWED GOAL
Brighton 1-0 West Ham
Brighton think they have sealed it! Jose Izquierdo gets a shot away, it's deflected, Lukasz Fabianski pushes it out and fellow sub Jurgen Locadia gobbles up the tap-in.

But he was offside. Tight.

90 mins
CLOSE!
Brighton 1-0 West Ham
Massive chance! He's got to at least hit the target!

Robert Snodgrass cuts one back into the path of Marko Arnatovic and he leans back and skies it from no more than six yards out.

It's the man you would have wanted it to fall to as well...

so we'll fall below Brighton... at least we can't fall into the bottom 3 this weekend...

but we could have been save in the top half...

45 seconds to go...

Corner to West Ham...

it goes straight to a Brighton player...

20 seconds to play...

and there you have it...

three points and all our good form pissed away

As many West ham fans are saying ... We played very well last night and created enough chances to win the game. Brigton did to us last night what we did to Chelsea and that was defend for their lives and it worked and credit to them.
We were just unlucky last night - couldn`t fault the effort the players put in as said on another night we would of walked that game with the way we dominated them but in football don`t matter how well you play you don`t always get what you deserve and last night we didn`t deserve to lose.
There were alot postives to take from that game.

Got to say I was disappointed with our display yesterday.
Felt four players did not put in enough effort. Masuaku, Obiang, Yarmolenko and Anderson.
Brighton just seem to want to win this more then some of ours.
