Supporters’ Reactions to the 1-1 Draw Between Bournemouth and West Ham

Following Monday’s Premier League match between Bournemouth and West Ham, supporters were invited to share their opinions. A selection of their feedback is provided below: Perspectives from Bournemouth Supporters: Sam: So frustrating when you see the amount of chances we create. We should be putting West Ham to the sword. I get the feeling if it was the other way round West Ham would win 4-0 against us, but we have to settle for a point. So irritating. Ah well – at least we didn’t lose, which we didn’t deserve to. Jonathan: It’s a point, at least we pulled it back. But… we need to be more clinical. Was it 29 shots? If we were more clinical we could have been out of sight long before West Ham took the lead. Penalty? Not sure. You can’t sprint with your hands by your side. A lot of positives – we’re playing some of the best football of any team in the league. Let’s just score some more goals. In Andoni we trust! Paul: Sub-par performance in the first half; much more like our usual selves in the second. Harsh penalty but Adams knows he has to keep his hands down in that situation. Sublime free-kick by Unal. Deserves to get a start at Old Trafford. Mark: We played well but 29 shots, nine on target. We must convert more. We were lucky to come away with a point. Other teams will punish us for not taking our chances. Perspectives from West Ham Supporters: Mike: Lopetegui is doing a decent job – organised and tries to play on the front foot. Needs to be given more time. Changing a style of play is worth it. In the thick of it and makes positive changes. Good result. Charley: The line-up was very questionable, especially with the exclusion of Crysencio Summerville. Despite that, the team defended brilliantly. Fabianski put in his best performance of the season. I did notice there was very little communication between the players, which needs to improve. Overall it was a very tight game and I’m happy to come away with a point against such an in-form side. Pete: Great free-kick and fair result. I wouldn’t have wanted to win by that ridiculous penalty but, after a decent performance with plenty of shots, I would have been disappointed to lose. The substitutions and the change to a back three seemed to hinder but promising and good to see some young academy players introduced. Paul: When you are winning with just minutes left in the game, the gameplan is simple – don’t do anything stupid. Then up steps Mavropanos. He has had a decent game up until then, but makes an unnecessary challenge, gives away a free-kick and chucks away two points. The story of this team.
