Saint Garrett

hmm, doesn't seem to make any sense changing system because we've lost 1 game in 26. Our biggest issues last night were giving the ball away cheaply, and barely having a midfield. We have no one else who can play in Downes position. Felt like too many changes last night, and some of our defending was abysmal, Manning specifically, but also felt like Bednarek was scared about getting booked.

Anyone got any advice for parking, and also for away pubs? Not been to Bristol City before...

Don't really know why West Ham seem to just try and shoehorn Soucek, JWP, Alvarez, Phillips all into the side. They had Ben Johnson playing LM today, it was such a strange lineup. They have looked dreaedful whenever I've seen them this season, how are they 8th? It's got to be one of the worst premier leagues for quality for years.

Guessing we'll see quite a bit of this given the more apps he makes the less they play...

I'd expect it to be similar the away game. Lumley Bree? Stephens Harwood-Bellis Meghoma Rothwell Charles Smallbone Edozie Adams Sulemana Not sure if Bree, Edozie and Sulemana are all fit yet? Obviously no Brooks available. Guess Mara, Fraser, Arma, Stu, Dibling, Amo-Ameyaw could all start if others aren't fit. Right back is a problem if Bree isn't fit, so I guess we could see Stephens there, or KWP starting.

Easiest and most simple effort for our fan base is the conga…”do do do Kyle Walker-Peters”

He had the clause, we offered him the full salary to keep him. He didn’t want to go to WH but ended up there because he wanted to play in the premier league and no-one else came in with a decent enough offer, hence why it ended up such a low fee in the end.

Broja is a class act and would tear it up in this league, especially in this team. We have no chance of getting him in though but I'd happily have him on loan for the rest of the season.

Sure I read he’s costing West Ham about £10m for half a season. That’s bonkers if true.

It isn't

If we are to lose KWP (which I think we will in the summer) I'd like us to go after Milan van Ewijk, bloke at Coventry. I know bugger all about him, but when I've seen him, he looks class IMO.

He looked absolutely appalling when he came to St Marys! Got roasted.

Should win. If we're serious about auto promotion we'll need to do incredibly well in our "easier" away games. We still have WBA, Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich away. This is a great chance to get another win. Same team is fine with me. Think it gives us a really nice balance.

I wonder if one could be Bournemouth and there is something in the Brooks deal. Solanke is being linked with some big moves atm…

There seems to be a load of players we've identified and probably going down the list making enquiries. Clearly we're after a wide creative player. Benson Brooks Carvalho Patrick Roberts in the summer also It's certainly an interesting one, with Edozie, Sulemana, Fraser, Armstrong, Sam Amo, Alcaraz that have all played in parts there this season. Can't see Adam Armstrong not playing.

It is Bournemouth tbf...

A mate of mine who goes to pretty much every game was disorganised and missed out on tickets for this. Does anyone know of any spares at all? He is after 2 Cheers in advance.

End of Jan too by the sounds of it.

Some tried to start this a few years ago, remember hearing it at Sheff Utd away when Djenepo turned into Messi. I remember it being too slow and too repetitive and just a bit shit tbh, but by all means give it a go,

Should win the lot. We won't because we still struggle to get the second goal. Highly likely we get beat soon just on law of averages. Like you say though, nothing to fear here. It's such a shame we have already played Leeds, WBA, Leicester and Ipswich all at home. That might be the difference between top 2 and playoffs tbh. Likelihood is we need to win atleast 2 of those away games.

I'm a big lover of the FA Cup, but just isnt a priority for us this season. Gives match time to the likes of Stephens, Charles, Smallbone, Alcaraz, Mara, Fraser, and a few of the kids a run out, Sam Amo, Dibling, Meghoma... Can't say I'd be that upset if we went out though.

Fortunately this isn’t our last game of the season

Hopefully the one benefit of the skates going 6 points clear at the top of the league, is the end of that shit 10 more years in league 1 chant… 🙏

I think it’s slightly different in this league. And we regularly play 3 up front, sometimes more like 4 in attacking areas, would be interesting…

West Ham fans can't stand him, and really want rid of him. "Stealing a living". We know he struggled to play on his own up front. He played his best football when he had Adams doing a lot of the grind for him. I don't know how he would fit in here if he was to join on loan for the second half of the season, but I can certainly see him leaving West Ham in January.
