Well that is the best we have played since...well since were 5-0 up against Burnley certainly. Some of our play has been nothing short of scintillating, with Barerra and Piquionne impressively to the fore.
What a pity Cole has been listening to his shrink and thinks he can take penalties. As soon as I saw him lining it up, I knew he would miss. What did he say yesterday, "Sometimes footballers think too much". His great goal against Spurs was, on his own admission, because he just turned and hit it. That long delay before he took the penalty was always going to be a problem for Mr Bag of Nerves in Front of Goal".
How many shots have we had on goal? More than in half a season under Zola, but we still haven't scored. Jääskeläinen is showing Green how it is done, sadly, and you have this horrible feeling that it will all go tits up second half. We really needed to turn our superiority into a lead before half time, especially as Dyer will depart before 70 minutes are up.
We are using the flanks superbly and Parker is pulling the midfield strings brilliantly. Piquionne's movement has been superb and his lay back for Dyer was pure class.
Bolton, meanwhile, should be down to 10 men. That Davies foul on Ilunga was a potential ankle breaker. Gabbidon needs to put his chin on Davies' elbow early in the second half to get the bastard sent off.
Lee and Petrov remain threats and Noble is still an accident waiting to happen based on that shocking free kick played square on the half way line that so nearly led to the Bolton opener. Thank God it was Elmander who was clean through!

Kevin Davies busts Upson's nose open and its an own goal. That's unfair for Upson I think .. I mean, generally it'd be a goal, but Upson's nose looks REALLY messed up.
Can't wait till Davies retires...
3-1 bolton we need a new defence reid is looking like a bad buy daprela is a better choice then ilunga and upson should be sold
Well after last season and todays result, I really don't find following West Ham enjoyable. I'm off to do something more enjoyable and rewarding, good bye all!
I came over as soon as I could - Upson? ho ho ho - Green? ho ho ho - don't you just love it? ho ho ho.
Pity you couldn't keep it up mwaaahh
Bolton show you southern softies how it's done yet again!
You bitchez!
should have kept Zola... grant is not the man!
So it was the team and not the manager..... Looks like it's humble pie time again HF. Be nice and say sorry for all the horrid things you said about Nice Guy Zola.
We played well first half, much better than under Zola. Time will tell.
Strange side, and Sears on the bench what kind of squad have we got? Why no Da Costa to give us some airial power. Why not Ben Haim at right back he is supposed to have played brilliantly there for Portsmouth and certainly would add experience to the defence.
Why didn't Noble take the penalty? he always used to quite effectively. Sear coming on to save the day what a laugh no wonder everybody started to go home. He couldn't even score a goal in the championship.The whole scenario appears out of control
Why wasn't DaCosta in defence to give us some airial power? Why not Ben Haim at right back? evidently he played brilliantly in that position for Portsmouth. Why didn't Noble take the first penalty he always used to be our penalty taker? What is Sears doing in the squad when he didn't score a single goal in the championship last year? What a bloody mess no wonder the supporter's left early.
This chump is going to take us down - but I don't expect HF to say Zola was better for keeping us up.
