....most of our fans have bought the new shirt in a size too small.
"Skin tight" isn't a good look.
The players version, whilst better fitting, has the number far too low and just looks wrong from behind.
Going "cashless" appears to have made the service (in the Pioneer at least) slower, the queues at half time went into the fanzone.
We didn't play bad at times though. |  |

Not seen any pics from the right angle yet, but did the players have names on the back yet? |  |

....I think it's due to the design of the shirt.
You could see in comparison to the WH players the numbers were a lot lower.
This is important stuff, I may return my season ticket in protest. | |

....I did.
I just forgot to tell you.
I also forgot that it was a 7pm KO and missed the first 10 minutes.
We lost.
Disastrous night all round really, I might give up on football. | |

No names yet but seen some with names printed on around and definitely doesn’t look right.

My theory is that it is to accommodate all of our double-barrelled players names. Obviously we already have Vincent-Young, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the final two pieces of the KMac jigsaw are going to be Maitland-Niles and Calvert-Lewin. You read it Here-First. |  |

I’d rather than than the shirt down to your knees over the hoody look. But that’s just personal preference. Each to their own!
Who would have thought that tapping your card/inserting your finger print on your phone would be such a slow process. Crazy. Maybe they should re-introduce cheques. [Post edited 13 Jul 2022 8:38]

Don't know about anyone else but I had forgotten just how good some of Lee Evans passing was, I know it was only his first game back so a little rusty to start with but thought he did well. | | | |

Some of us clocked the number position issue weeks ago mate.
I'm with you though, these things matter. |  |

….with someone of your magnificent beardiness when I have a pathetic pointy goatee effort?
It’s not a fair contest in either beard growth nor shirt number spotting ability.
I resign. | |

Skin tight is the only way to wear tops.
But you do need a body like mine.
Skin tight with a belly is not a good look. |  |

I got kit for my boys and their names printed on - think issue there is a large semi circle of stitching and they print the names below that which moves them down quite far and then obviously numbers below that - but it doesn't look right |  |

Only criticism for me is that Umbro have gone to town on that yoke.
Do think it'll all look fine with player names on and the shirt untucked. Kids ones do look a bit weird because of the smaller letters.
Ideally it would be about two inches further up (behave). | | | |

Any decent attacking play tonight, or even attempts at same? Like I believe you said the other day, goals are the main worry with this team. |  |

once again the club has employed the wrong people to facilitate a rapid half time service. Better suited to working in a garden center. |  |

….Leigh marauded forward at times in the second half, although then seemed to struggle to get back and defend.
Burns had a quiet match and then after the subs we had Idris playing RWB/RB with KVY in front of him which seemed a bit odd.
Ladapo showed some pace and aggression but missed a fairly simple one on one. Jackson and JJ ran around a lot without troubling the scorers.
My two main concerns remain that we are woeful at set pieces and we spend an inordinate amount of time standing on the ball 30 yards from goal without looking like we know what to do. We need a “fox in the box” to make the final run and/or a player to make the final “unlocking” pass.
Work to do, obviously, but you have to trust the project I guess. | |

I've often wondered why football clubs don't implement similar systems to those at a lot of theatres whereby you order your interval/half time drinks, etc before the performance/match and then collect it at half time.
Mind you, the speed they work at at PR, they'd either never be able to fulfil the orders or half of them would be flat and warm by half time. |  |

Think the Leigh thing was partly because of how negative Thompson was.
Leigh was allowed to do what Burns does last night, giving us much more of a 3 than the 4 we always had with Thompson. That's where Burns will likely need to hold back a bit on the opposite side, allowing the left centre half to push across.
I don't think that's anywhere near as much of an issue against League One sides. West Ham however could play a quick two or three passes and play someone in to that huge space left when we gave the ball away.
Also think Ladapo chance was harder than it looked. As he slowed down to compose himself, the defender made up ridiculous ground, which hurried Ladapo into the finish slightly as he no doubt realised he had a defender about to take the ball when he thougth he'd left him for dead. Inches away from being a superb finish.
I agree with the lack of urgency and ideas in the final third, but again it's hard to know how that translates against a League One side as we made several little triangles that leave League One teams for dead and West Ham always had a man reading it. | | | |

Agree on the shirt, though didnt the latest club email show that exact look ?
And I warned people cashless could be like this, just wait till you get the must insert pin requests, as that's definitely longer than cash, or the wifi the reader is using borks or is temperamental as that will really try peoples patience.

Ladapo had a 15 yard head start for a one on one, it's as simple a one on one chance as you can have - that the defender made the ground up was because he basically stopped as had the classic "too much time to think about it" | |

That's the problem when you have clothes made in sweatshops in the Far East, workers paid a few pennies the company even cut the size to a minimum to save on materials meaning a large size is actually a small.
I was in M&S on Monday and none of their machines were accepting contactless or smart phone scanning only option was chip & pin or cash. That was fun with long queues, people almost having a breakdown as lots of them only had their phones and no other way of paying, I felt smug as I got my cash out. |  | | |

Top class strikers invariably to go across the defenders path to avoid a clean tackle which either makes the chance easier or a foul from behind.... its the little bits of nous that turn good players ( which most professionals obviously are) into top quality whatever league they play in imo |  | | |
