West Ham lost 2-1 at home to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening which feels like it has guaranteed our relegation.

However, rather than focusing on what yet another defeat means for the football club. We should focus on the problem with the team, today, and all season long. West Ham United football team simply isn’t good enough for the Premier League.

That sounds crazy to say considering we were qualifying for Europe and winning European trophies just over two years ago. But the sad reality is that it’s true. We’re not good enough and we haven’t been for eighteen months.

Last season under Lopetegui and Potter we were lucky to stay up because of the poor promoted teams who were doomed to go straight back down from the start.

However, this year has been different, Leeds and Sunderland are performing, and United and Spurs have obviously improved. We haven’t, and that’s why we’re down the bottom of the table.

Since Nuno came in we’ve never performed ‘well’ the best we’ve been was decent. We’ve won 2 games under Nuno, against Newcastle and Burnley both at home. We won those games because both sides were really poor, any half decent side would’ve won those games, and we did, but we tried our best not to.

This was another one of those games like Everyone away, like Manchester United away. We weren’t awful, but again, we were far from good.

We needed to be good this game, Forest are in poor form but this was just as big a game for them as it was for us, they were fighting for the win too. They’re just better than us, and they proved it tonight.

It was a very balanced game, I think a draw would’ve been a fair result. But again, poor defending from corners giving away stupid goals and penalties. Something we’ve been guilty of all season, whether it’s Graham Potter or Nuno Espírito Santo in charge.

We had positive moments, Summerville looked bright at the start, Taty looked comfortable on his debut, no Kilman at the back helped us and Pablo Felipe looked positive off the bench.

But as usual it was just positive moments, positive parts of the game. We haven’t been consistent throughout ninety minutes under Nuno and it’s not good enough.

This game and the Wolves games were opportunities to show we can do that. An opportunity for Nuno to show he can build something at West Ham, but two losses has confirmed to everyone that it most probably isn’t going to work out for him here.
