West Ham suffers seventh straight loss, Potter booed by fans

West Ham United suffered a 3-2 defeat to Brighton, extending their winless streak to seven Premier League games and highlighting persistent issues with conceding late goals. Despite leading 2-1 in the closing minutes, West Ham collapsed, conceding two goals in the final moments, a pattern that has become increasingly common for the team. Captain Jarrod Bowen delivered a strong performance with two assists, but overall, the team's display was marred by poor individual performances, notably from James Ward-Prowse, who was substituted at halftime after a disappointing showing. Manager Graham Potter, who has failed to inspire a turnaround since his appointment, faces mounting criticism from fans and now plans a significant squad overhaul in the summer to address deficiencies in quality and athleticism. The team’s struggles have deepened discontent among supporters, with Potter's decisions and substitutions coming under particular scrutiny. While West Ham are now safe from relegation, the mood within the club and its fanbase remains bleak as they look ahead to major changes in the upcoming transfer window.
