West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[El Scorchio]

The virtual acceptance of relegation has been disturbed by this reducing of two points on our deficit with Forest.

Now we have the stress of dealing with a scintilla of hope until the next league game.

We'll do enough to keep hope lingering for quite a while I should expect. Only to claw it back to a realistic chance in the last few weeks of the season only to then indeed go down but in a very cruel and unlucky way.

Fuck off Sir Alfs you sanctimonious cսnt calling other posters foolhardy because we think we may stay up..You made a fool of yourself on the Tottenham v West ham match thread 

[Sir Alf]

Far too early and foolhardy imo to read too much into a very welcome win yesterday. Improved attitude and battling was the main positive along with VAR and marginals going our way. 

Another CB needed but also another central midfielder with pace and strength. Soucek did well in this match and against this opposition. He will always be an asset in both boxes aerially.  But in many games against different teams, and especially those that employ fast counter attacking tactics, he can be very ineffective.  Thats the thing, every opposition is not the same and we tend to match up better with teams that are more open and not sitting deep. Thats why we struggle a lot at home.

We need another CB but more pace in centeal
midfield to handle counters and move the ball quicker. Ideally we would have got a quicker central striker but the 2 lads that have come in, while not quick, do compensate with a high work rate of pressing and give us more outlets going forward.

There's still 16 games left. If we can get a CB in, maybe.
I'd fancy points against chelsea more than sunderland, it would be so west ham.
As long as we go down fighting and win the FA Cup, ill be happy

Yesterday was brilliant, but the damage has been done sadly.

We needed to beat Fucking Fulham at home, as soon as we lost that, we were done.

Yep, too llittle, too late.

Yesterday was a hoot though, our situation made it even funnier.

[THUNDERCLINT]

Only chance we have and its a slim one is catching Forest,but they are still in Europe which could effect them slightly 
Palace are definitely in decline but have too many points already so will stay up no problem 

We've as much chance of catching Forest as an underage Cambodian raspberry has of escaping your hanging tree.

Win in the early game next week and put some pressure on Forest, who then go to Brentford, who have a great home record, so it 'could' be down to 2 points. But then we go to Chelsea and Forest and are home to Palace. This is the problem when chasing.

Sadly, I don't see us getting out of it. That disasterous 1 point from 12 has fucked it for us. The biggest problem is we are chashing two capable outfits in Leeds and Forest,  so you're looking at a situation where we need to win and they need to slip up regularly, just cant see it.

And Palace ain't going down, you can forget about that.

Sorry about the lack of paragraphs, but I’ve just C&P it from Racing post. 

it summarises our chances of survival, what we need to do ( win some games) and assesses the teams around us. 

good read, if you can get past the absence of paragraphs. 

Is that you Mr Lairy ?..( my English teacher back in the day 81)

[stats]

You can get a tidy 28/1 at the moment on Palace to be relegated and remember chaps, you never see a bookie on a bike! 
 

[El Scorchio]

That Glasner meltdown was hilarious can they be dragged into it.

I really think they can. If we can win a couple of the next games and they lose, we'll be on their heels. Feels like unless Glasner now goes they'll be right in the shit.

[nychammer]

That late loss to forest was so damaging. Even a point in that game would have us looking far better. 

[stats]

After todays games we are 1/9 and Forest 13/2. 
Unfortunately they are far more organised than we are. 
I don't like to say it but we are as good as down. 

[zico]

So annoying that Forest result as I think they are the only ones we can catch, especially after Leeds win today.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Is it maybe on? Dare we dream? Or just another false dawn?

*I whistled this in those last few games of the Tevez great escape season.

[Any Old Iron]

A better manager can be found but would be no more than a temporary fix.

Sullivan and Brady, the owners are the root problem. 
 

Alf, Brady is not an owner. She owns no WHU shares. Although Vice-Chairman she is just an employee, albeit a very well paid one.

Thanks.
