We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Championship match between West Ham United and Southampton.

Here are some of your comments:

West Ham fans

Philip: Perhaps I'm losing faith in Nuno. We have the talent, but we're not keeping any shape. Too many instances of players clustered, unable to navigate each other and control the ball. We're also arriving in the box too early, making the pass too late. We need some discipline. Southampton were always in position, playing as a collective, and that will best a side of individuals all the time.

Hugh: Terrible defensive display standing off and watching for most of the first half. There is no development in tactics, it's one dimensional and teams have worked out how to counter it from the start as it doesn't change. Because the defence does not work, the team lacks confidence and it shows on the pitch.

Spencer: Another poor start to a game, more defensive mistakes and our midfield is a problem. It's unbalanced, no ball winners and was continually dissected with one simple straight ball. Far too much of a gap between the defence and the midfield. We don't play as a unit. You have to question the manager as we don't look like a well coached team and have been getting through with individual performances. I hope Nuno learns from this because more performances like that and I can see the fans turning.

Southampton fans

Pablo: Much more clinical finishing from the Saints, having no offsides in the game for us which obviously they have been working on. Peretz was the man of the match with some outstanding saves.

Stephen: Intense, rugged, composed. Despite defensive pressures they stayed calm allowing purposeful attacks which carried them forward with clear attempts on goal being rewarded. The players, including the bench, did not let anything distract them from winning.

Geoff: A very professional performance without two of our best players. The spirit shown by the whole squad is a big confidence boost for the rest of the season.
