Doesn't start. Looks like Kudus or Bowen. Assume he will be in for a good 20 minutes at least.

Yes the move is automatically a failure because a player who'd been out for weeks since Christmas with an ankle injury with just one 17mins appearance since then two weeks ago automatically didn't go straight into the starting XI.Originally Posted by Joxerbrowne
He's been training for weeks now, should be fit enough to start by now.
So he should have stayed to continue sitting on the bench at Brighton where he’s just not a fit in the managers plans? Instead of a change of scenery to a club that needs a 9 and under a manager who knows him and gave him his break? Come on…
As it turns out ~ ~ A move ( probably loan move ) to Arsenal could have happened if Havertz happened to get injured a bit sooner ~ ~ Ships in the night ! !
On at half time
Sets one up for Kudus with a cut back after a fine run into the box - Kudus misses a sitter basically.
Watched the last 20 minutes. He looked lively and looks much, much happier. Pity they lost but bad tactics from Potter more than anything else. I don't think we'll be waiting long for him to score
He looked decent. Coming on against Brentford when they are up isn't an easy ask. But he moved and pressed, did okay when used as an out ball. Created a chance for himself with good feet that he might have done better with and it was the type of chance we have seen him score a good few times in his fledgling career.
West Ham with Bowen, Kudus and Paqueta can hopefully create chances for him on other days.
They need to get from back to front much faster. The amount of ball played across the back was mad. The lad Scarles must have passed the ball back to Kilman almost every time he had it.
Agreed. They were still doing it in the 94th minute and it was infuriating. Hopefully they go on a good run though. A healthy Potter should mean a healthy Ferguson
Only saw the MotD highlights but he looked quick enough with that burst down the right wing just after he came on. Definitely no signs of long term or permanent impacts from the injury setbacks he has had.
If he shows any kind of form over the next month he should start both legs against Bulgaria. He's had a tough run but he's still the closest to a complete centre forward that we have by a distance.
I'd say once he's fit he starts given how Hallgrinssom has talked up his ability in the past.
Ferguson on bench again today. I just don't get it from his point of view. When the loan was being lined up would he or his agent not have insisted he's only going somewhere he was guaranteed to play, even if like Bazunu he just goes to a different league to build his fitness.
Even if we think worst case scenario that he's just not as good as we thought then can only be seen by playing actual games. He's been at West Ham a month now so fitness can't be an excuse anymore. I just don't get it. There's only a few months left in the season and bench warming at another club is utterly pointless and it just seems stupid from his and his advisors to go there.
I get from West Hams point of view not wanting to change winning team
Its really not that complicated!!!
Maybe if West Ham got another win or two, and the teams below make no progress with regard to avoiding relegation ~ ~ Then surely Ferguson would get some, games / game-time !
i'd think he'll get in soon. they beat Arsenal without him, hard to drop anyone. A goal off the bench tonight would be a good thing...
Wasn't a fan of this move, think he was brought in to give them an option from the bench. Should of dropped a level, Leeds or Celtic would of been ideal.
When the move was specifically about getting game time he shouldn't have been worried about getting into whatever team. As I said I get it from West Hams point of view but Ferguson or his agent should have been smarter
Its really not that complicated!!!
Doubt you can go to a club like West Ham (or anyone really ) and demand or be guaranteed a start. Its up to you the player to get picked. Every club has 2/3 players for every position.
He's a good player no doubt but lads assuming he's elite are dreaming. Might happen yet, probably won't. Hopefully he goes on to have a good career regardless of elite status or not. As an aside I'd hate to be a modern no.9. No balls put in to the box anymore. Come out for the odd little touch here and there and hopefully sneak a tap in sometime. Frig that.
