SuperSAINT

Currently: - Winston Reid - Sam Byram - Obiang - Andy Carroll - Fernandes Are all listed as being injury doubts for the game.

We had £20m and the best Ross Wilson could come up with Carrillo?

I just feel relieved after that. A game of 2 halves, but encouraging that Hughes gets them going after a team talk. What were the odds on those 2 scoring before the game?! (Lovely take from Cedric BTW). Fullbacks put in a shift. Hoedt/Stephens looked good. Thought Redmond was good when he came on. I will enjoy this feel-good feeling while I can!

I don't think he's great. I don't think he was ever going to get any change from their 2 lumps at the back. He put a shift in though. If he's going to be our next Mickey Evans, he needs to score in the next game.

* Wrong thread

Yellow card for time wasting any of our players who long ball it up to our forwards.

None of his attribute will work today against them.

The irony!

Hopefully left side. Will be interesting to see if Wigan make the extra man in central midfield count. We have to start on the front foot.

TWO STRIKERS!!!!

That'd be a massive bonus. I don't think palace will be near the bottom at the end of the season so their result is no surprise.

Zaha starts

He's clearly off in the summer & so we'd rather not stop the progress of people like Obafemi. Maybe he got greedy because Yeovil made him an offer of being their highest paid player.

Rowthorn putting in a shift at right-back again. (Valery is injured, Bakary is on trial at Palace) Good attack again. Lots of pace. No Hesketh, though.

Yup. Their fixtures start to get much easier toward the end of the season.

Did they show the 'Procrastination Room'? Alleged favourite space for Les & Ross (Especially around January time).

Nice to see him representing himself in the talks. I imagine that's actually easier to do business with.

Will be a miracle if he does. Sure, people will say "He's got good players" but it's going to take a hell of a job to rid us of the malaise around the club. Wish him all the best & like you say, I'm actually looking (cautiously) forward to games again.

Thought he played a similar 4-2-3-1.

When you posted your link, I instantly remembered that Sullivan had boasted about a Director of Football wanting to join. Crikey, it's going to be a summer of fun & games.

I wonder.... West Ham have broken their transfer record in the last two summers, spending £20m on André Ayew and £24m on Arnautovic, but their squad has holes and Sullivan is thinking about hiring a director of football. After all, someone performing that role could have challenged Bilic’s training methods at an early stage. “There’s one very good one in the Premier League,” he says. “I would seriously think about taking him on in due course and I know he would come because he’s approached me.

Imagine the hilarity if we go more attacking & then get absolutely rinsed in defence.

In-case anybody glossed over the link that Nick75Sfc posted above it seems like the Telegraph article has been updated again this evening to include the detail that a short-term contract has been offered to Hughes.
