    Some of the comments on Twitter this evening are shocking and disgraceful. The guy is a true professional in the way he reacts.

    These are the real morons. And guess what, 3 games in they're all out of the woodwork again ...

    I'm not Loach's biggest fan, far from in fact....but I would never verbally abuse the guy while he's still a Watford player, can't be good for he's confidence.

    I've given him support on there, however according to you I'm a dreadful fan. maybe I should go and rip it out of him?

    I couldn't give two sh*ts what 'celebrities' get up to in their spare time or their thoughts as most of them aren't usually worth spending the precious seconds of my life to read. So i'm not a member on twitter.

    From what Loachy has apparently said - why's everyone getting 'up in his grill'? - he's speaking the truth. West Ham were a class act.

    That's not entirely the point of Twitter but fair enough.

    I can't understand why people get their little kicks from abusing one of the players that probably has the most passion for the club they support over the internet. Some of our fans really are morons.

    I know, but 1 social networking site is enough for me. Facebook is fine.

    Yes I found all the whole 'What film is Marvin watching' saga, and some other banter that people have shared from it on here quite amusing... however the system that it is is open to all kinds of abuse.

    As for this situation, if people have the time to go on there and slag off a footballer's 'professional' view on a performance -then they seriously need to get a life.

    On Facebook, you won't be allowed to post on Loach's wall if you can't access his page.

    On Twitter, anyone can follow anyone, and so I believe, (I'm not exactly familiar with the thing), post/comment people(?) at will.

    EDIT: The point I was making with the first part, is that Facebook suits all my needs that I'd like from a Social Networking site just fine, nothing to do with the abuse that can happen on there.

    Yep, unless that person blocks the other.

    :rolleyes: I'm sure Loachy has much better things to do with his time than go through blocking all the Watford fans who cared so much as to become one of his 'followers'.

    TBF What's Loach done wrong this season?...by all accounts he saved us at Burnley from getting nothhing.

    personally i blame the defence.

    Loach is an easy target. You aren't going to save every shot on goal are you?! There are also 10 players in front of him to stop the ball getting that far.

    Don't think anyone in particular was to blame for yesterday, four good goals and West Ham were just sublime, never got out of first gear and almost chose when they wanted to go and score, and did.

    He never saves any, and after three full Championship seasons he still has his feet glued to his line for every single corner and cross, which is why we concede from them.

    I like him as a bloke, but he is genuinely cack.

    His development seems to have stalled this year. The genuine lack of competition doesn't help him either.
     
  23. Chris G

    Chris G Academy Graduate

    It's fair to say he saves a few. He is stuck to his line which is one issue, but most goals we conceed come from open play which highlight issues elsewhere. I've seen him make some great saves but also have a 'mare.
     
  24. PotGuy

    PotGuy Forum Fetishist

    He also lets in 100% of long shots, which are from open play. I'm not even sure he has ever saved one. His judgement on them is awful, the one at Cov was ridiculous.

    I find it extremely useful for networking. Obviously that's not something everyone is interested in doing though.

    It serves a completely different purpose to Facebook, and whilst the abuse is wrong, if you're going to set yourself up in the limelight like with a twitter account, you have to half expect the idiots that come with it.

    Very true. The one i remember was Lewis McGugan at The Vic. Was a cracker of a goal though.

    Absolutely. Loach made a couple of early errors against Derby and might have done better for the last goal, but you can't blame him for either result. Big Sam has transformed West Ham from a rabble into a really skilful and well-organised side, and until we can afford midfielders like theirs we can't expect to beat them.

    Loach was on the fringes of the England squad a few years back, I think it's fair to say that had he signed for a Premier League side he may have even risen to the level of Joe Hart.

    He's stuck with Watford, and in yesterdays game I saw him show more passion and frustration that most of the other players (save maybe Doyley and ****o). He's got the potential to be an excellent leader.

    He's has more to work on, granted, and I agree his positioning for long shots has to improve. His close range shot stopping is immense and his willingness to drive the game on and push other players forward is incredible.

    All these 'fans' booing him are just ridiculous, need to get a life and go and support Real Madrid

    It seems like our fans need a cyber boo boy as well then.

    You have to wonder why people use social networking sites full stop - EVERYTHING you say on there can be used against you. That "Delete" button ACTUALLY means, DELETE from MY view.

    All stored on big disk drives in the background. Big Brother is watching you.

    Im not abusing Loach, I like the guy but I think he's going through a dodgy period extending from last year.

    He could do nothing with the goals against Burnley but the goal against Derby pretty much went into the middle of the net. The first goal last night was a header in the 6 yard box, the second was an absolute joke.

    He will come out of it and to have a pop at him is wrong but Chamberlain has got to get hold of him and sort it out.

    Loach is a top young English keeper and an asset to the club. Our defence is still a problem even though ****inson was signed. 3 games and 7 goals conceded. Same story last season 71 goals conceded from 46 matches.

    To be fair I don't think we will be the last team tanked by West Ham this season if they manage to hold on to all their players!!!

    Scott Loach is a very talented young goalkeeper and looking at the 4 goals last night none where his fault!
