Plenty of effort from the lads today. The quality just wasn't there.

It was a bit like the Wolves game in some ways, we did lots of huffing and puffing and had the territorial advantage for best part, but didn't have the quality to make it count.

Unfortunately West Ham had a bit more quality than Wolves going the other way and that told. We got away with a mistake earlier on with Ajayi's short backpass, but later mistakes were punished.

Strange old end to the season with fans coming back just to see us down. Almost surreal.

What today's game shows is the magnitude of the rebuild as there isn't a lot of quality, energy or battle in the side when you take out the ability of Pereira and the spirit and endeavour of Yokuslu and Gallagher. I'd be very surprised if any of them are here next season. And without Big Sam, I personally think that rebuild feels even bigger - he was at least getting the best out of the likes of Bartley, Townsend and the like.

But ultimately as I said in the other thread, it doesn't really matter who is in charge because we really need the owners to come good for this rebuild...

If they don't put their hands in their pockets - which I don't believe they will - we could struggle even in the Championship with the likes of Sawyers, Furlong, Phillips, Zohore and co as first choice.

I don't envy the job of whoever comes in, especially if we're financially screwed and selling our best assets.

But we live in hope they select the right man for the job and give them every penny generated from player sales.
