It was a very disappointing defeat, as it came against a team in a lower competition than them. If I'm asked if they deserve this defeat, then the answer is that they do, because in the game they are not so good and even the opponent can play better than them. Maybe the red card could be the reason for their defeat in this match, but still by chance when they were still playing with 11 players in the first half they did not show anything better.
West Ham must evaluate their defeat in this match, because if this continues it will be a threat that comes from within themselves when in the Premier League.
It seems that West Ham is experiencing a decline in performance because I see that there are no problems whatsoever with the players who I currently see are very fit, but for some reason the West Ham players have difficulty when they want to score, even though they have not been able to take advantage of several opportunities well.
If West Ham performance is still like this when they play against Sheff Utd in the coming week, it doesn't seem convincing because even though Sheff Utd is at the bottom of the standings, this team often puts up resistance which makes it difficult for the away team to score.
It's a shame but the narrow score doesn't really matter anyway.
There are lots of players were participating in the AFCON and it was forcing westham to play with the available resource. This has proven that if the secondary team of westham was not better compared with the lower division club like bristol.
This is crazy how westham was losing against a mediocre team like that. David moyes needs to aware if he has a very bad secondary team. I just said based on the result in FA cup.
Some people were calling it as a bad competition but how many times westham won FA cup? 10 times? 20 times? Stop to call this as a garbage cup if westham was not even regularly winning it.
The absence from a lot of players were costing westham FA cup which is big for a club like westham which was rarely winning the trophy. This is bad and really really bad, i can also imagine how many people were losing due to the poor performance from westham.
The club needs to be re evaluated as soon as possible especially for the secondary squad owned by the club. They were played like amateur players.
