Our lack of fitness was telling today. Szobo ran himself to the ground as usual, but overall, it wasn't as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. Just glad we won the game. Wolves won't be easy, so hopefully the boys can get another win there and keep pace with the pack. We absolutely need Champions league football.

Nice touch, us scoring five goals though, eh?
28 Feb 2026 19:57:54
Indeed it was, WDW. The fact it's so quiet on here, despite a 5-2 win today, says it all. I'm sure by tomorrow morning the usual suspects will have found something to moan about.

It's never enough for some people, is it? We could have scored ten goals, but people still whinge.

I'm definitely relieved we scored the goals to win the game, and I'm super-excited that we got five goals. But, it never felt like we were in control, and the massive drop-off in the second half was telling. Obviously, West Ham wasn't good enough to punish us, but it could easily have been different if they were more clinical or if Summerville had better end product.
I liked that we played a more direct game today instead of constantly passing backwards and sidewards. That positive play was really good to see. But, we faded badly, and that was concerning to me, even though we managed to hold on to our three-goal advantage.

Great win and plus 3 on goal difference. Villa seem to be floundering, so it doesn't look like it's a straight shoot out with United & Chelsea anymore. Can see Villa missing out on it, and having to sell again just to stay within FFP, whilst Chelsea & United will spend like it's going out of fashion.

You can smell it on the breeze, we are ever so gently edging closer to a narrative shift - a couple more wins and we'll get the 'we've improved, keep it going' posts.

A strange old game. It was hardly a 5-2 thrashing, and for large parts of the game, West Ham were the better side. A plus for me in the last month is that Kerkez is starting to look like a good full back. He always gives 100% and never shirks a challenge.
A tough week coming up against a rejuvenated Wolves side. I think the game on Friday will be the tougher one, as I expect them to throw everything at it because they know they're down. Expect the doom mongers to be back should we slip up in one of them.

Please put the Forest and West Ham games into perspective, after all, they were both against two possible relegated teams? Man Cheaty: zero points from two PL games. Man United at Anfield: zero points from one game.
Chelsea away: zero points from one game. Arsenal: four points from six possible. Four losses, one win, one draw from six PL games is the reason we failed to defend last year's PL title win!

Good watch that game. Plenty of action, and I never felt we were going to lose it despite West Ham's persistence. Five goals against any PL team is a good return. Arne is so far coming good on his talk of momentum in the second half of the season.
Just wish we hadn't dropped so low before Christmas, but we're into March and everything left to play for. Go on a winning streak from now until May and we might still need to build the extension to our trophy room.

Also, meant to add, we are 3 points off third place.

And only 13 off top. If Arsenal and City lose 5 games each and we win every game, then we'll be back to back title winners. What a great season it will have been.

I thought it was a comfortable game. As comfortable a 3 goal victory you can get in this modern version of the Premier League. Caveat - it wasn't perfect, and likely won't be for remainder of the season. Saw so many good things in amongst the usual inconsistencies we have in our performances.
Whether this is Slot's fault or not, we are so impacted by the under performance of Mo, Macca and Gakpo. He keeps picking them, so that is really on him. But the drop off in these three is crazy.

If West Ham had taken all their chances and we had missed all ours, we could easily have been on the wrong side of a hiding yesterday. Winning games while scoring only 5 goals is not sustainable. We would have scored 6 if Arne hadn't easijet it back to Rotterdam during the week.
