Mad game and a bit of a microcosm of everything we know about this team.
Started out so controlled and comfortable. Really good on the ball, well drilled and set up off it.
Take the lead fortuitously but can't get a second goal through a few half chances - Kolli's shot in first half and Smyth's burst into the box in the second.
Two of our best players taken off, presumably for 'loading' reasons, and West Ham finally get a foothold in the game. Then we go to sh*t a little bit and of course the injuries - always the injuries - mean we're playing with 9 men by the end.
Bloody brilliant from Charles, take a bow mate.
Another draw that feels like a win, same as Preston. But we've actually only picked up four points from the last five games with no wins in that time.
Still, excellent character from the group again that will build belief and we'd all have taken a point before KO. [Post edited 9 Oct 22:37]

Poku had to score that second half. Still no goal or assist for us?
Annoying we couldn't hold out til half-time having got in front but can't argue with the result in the circumstances. |

Recall us wearing an all white anniversary kit at home to Cardiff a few years back. Any other times we’ve not been in blue and white hoops? |

Thought Lamptey looked rusty as hell.
Understandably, sure he'll get up to speed. |

Horses for courses I guess, the plan was to hit them on the break - that worked so well that by the time you'd look to make a change we were already 3-1 up and wanted a bit of Alfie Lloyd scampering.
Kone played 43 times last season, Burrell got flogged into the ground - a bonus we didn't need to use Rich today imo. |

In the best possible way, you've never seen two less Chair-like goals.
Was always a little bit frustrated seeing him out on the left, of course he's good out there for a ball into the back stick or the classic cut in and shoot from distance, but starting today as more of a second striker off Burrell he picks up two scrappy goals from about six yards out combined.
Strikes me now that we have three (four) wide men competing for the RW spot with Poku, Smyth (Vale?) and Dembele when he's back fit but only really Saito (and Chair) on the left. [Post edited 15 Aug 20:01]

After today's result I think it's clear we need to wear this kit every away game there's a clash, the lilac monstrosity can stay at Heston. |

Crazy half of football.
Fair play Stephan must have said something right in those two hydration breaks which might just have saved our bacon - was sure a second goal for them was inbound at 1-0.
There's gotta be a good argument for getting Varane on at some stage but could be more goals for us on the break as they look to force the issue. |

Incredible stuff.
Every year we turn up at Fratton Park as if we've got no idea what the game will be like. Give them encouragement from the first kick and now end up with a left hand side of Saito and Adamson after 15min.
Stephan time to earn your corn at HT. |

As a society we've reached a point where not having tattoos is more of a statement than having them. |

Anyone else not able to list their season ticket for resale on Saturday? Usual part of the eticketing site says I have no tickets to manage and can't see any resale tickets listed on the seat map. Not had this issue before. |

As pointed out on the podcast it makes financial sense if you can get two dollops of cash for him, a loan fee of say £250k now given Norwich's perilous position and then maybe another £1m from them or another Championship club if he does well there and increases his value.
Or we keep him having helped to balance the books this year if someone like Varane goes and we have more cash to play with again. |

Common sense defending. Always a reassuring presence for me. |
