Only Ralph is not surprised.

Again!

Shambles already at both ends.

Team came out all looking down at the ground like frightened rabbits.

He said he put all the names in a hat and picked out eleven...that's the way it goes 🙂

Aside from the difference in quality we have a side who are not used to playing together whereas West Ham will be on point and well drilled.

Ralph must have expected them to put out a severely weakened side - that's the only rational explanation I can think of. Has he been caught with his pants down by Moyes?

Can he mark 4 players at once?

Defensively who is going to win the headers against their corners and free kicks? They are a big side we are the complete opposite.

They'll absolutely murder us in the air from corners and free kicks.

Feel sorry for those fans who have paid good money. Right now they'll be feeling short changed. If Ralph is thinking we can hold them then make changes and go for it second half I hope he knows what he's doing because they could be a couple in front and we'll have too much to do. So disappointed with this.

Might as well have given them a bye. Prove the majority of us wrong Ralph or lose a lot of the credit you've built up because many will be raging if we lose this game.

West Ham with more to play for than us put out a very strong team.

Madness and so not necessary. This will be very difficult now. Not sure what Ralph is thinking. Hope this team wins for him but not confident.

I take it Boro will be drawn against one of the three 'hotballs'

Agree, some are too quick to criticise the pair but week in week out they are a real handful for whoever they come up against. Sure, Broja has played better games than today but he's still just a kid with little experience and still gave Norwich plenty to think about. Opponents will be getting wise to how good a pair the two of them are and paying them extra attention which often means others get more space.

Adam's goal was a weird one because the ball seemed to elude everyone and he ended up on the ground yet, from that position, he somehow managed to flick the ball up and over the defender. When I saw it in slow motion I realised it was a far better finish than I initially thought.

As comfortable a win as you'll see. Fraser could have played in his dressing gown and slippers. Stunning goal from Oriel, well deserved...the ball was still rising as it smashed into the back of the net. We had extra gears to go through if needed. Stu getting better and better. Broja not as good as he has been but he's very young and raw. Good team performance with KWP outstanding again. Spurs fans must watch him and ask themselves how their management let him go.

Full strength in both is the sensible play.

Thought Tim Krul was back for them.

Spurs fans moaning that they have no decent full backs. I wonder if they realise just how good KWP is 🙂

He writes that article as though we invented this ploy when all teams do it. Ridiculous.

Think we got more than a bit of our own back with the deals for Bertrand and Vestergaard.

Win and we move above Brighton - might only be for one day as they play Villa at home on Saturday which they'd expect to win. Mind you, they probably expected to beat Burnley rather than getting done 3-0. That was a nice 5 goal swing in goal difference in our favour.

Thanks, hopefully that will even things up 🙂
