West Ham Online

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

We will finish on 37 pts and 4th from bottom 

Need to keep up the momentum and get something on Tuesday night.   

In league table for last 6 games played we are in 6th place.  Palace and spurs are in bottom 3.  

Spuds and happy clappers in the mix now, Leeds and Forest looking over their shoulder…good team spirit and some top class players so nothing to worry about

After beating Spurs, I thought we still needed 7 wins or 6 plus a few draws to have a chance of staying up. At least 40 points.

I'm still not convinced that 38 points will be enough.

GD might be crucial and ours sucks, but we're at least close to Forest in that respect. Suspect it may come down to us having to beat Leeds by a larger margin than Forest beat Bournemouth in the last game, or some such scenario,

So Spurs have lost. They will be right in the mix if we win today, as will Palace if they lose tomorrow. 

Keep believing!

Thank you LUFC.

Do we know if Todibo is in danger of more than a three match ban? You obviously can't do what he did, but we would have heard something by now if that was the case, right? Maybe because it was in the middle of a fight and not just out of the blue.

The one thing Harry had which Nuno doesn't was man mnanagement and an ability to make players believe they are better than they are.  He probably got them to believe the bollocks he was telling them and he has made a career out of it to be fair to him.  He might have even given some confidence to Kilman!

Rio second choice- that's obvious too.

I enjoy his take on things. He will always be a dodgy backstabbing rat for what he did to Bonds, yet he's one voice in the game who makes the most sense. 

In three of the four we probably deserved more than we got. That's what irks me. Had we got 'wolvsed' four times then you'd say we were well done and deserved it, but the two key decisions in the Forest game were pretty disgraceful and very cruel and decided the result (add Brighton away to that, although not part of the four) The Fulham game was just cruel on Scarles and all three were late late goals that you really can't recover from or answer to. Brighton at home was just stupid individual mistakes from a pair of idiot players and if not for either of those, (I am aware only one of the pens was converted) that could have been different,

But yes not picking up more points from those was very damaging although fortunes were incredibly cruel to us.

Too weak in key areas of the squad before the season began and not addressed this window.  Burnley will see us as a chance for 3 points and beat us I think especially since Kilman and Mavropanos will start. 

Sullivan is only interested in managing the cash flow now to keep the listless ship, that is West Ham, afloat for the immediate term before we go down. 

Sullivan, when we go down, will officially become the worst owner in our 126 year history.  Screwed the club over financially and as a footballing force and we will be back to where we were in the 1950s, a second tier club.

It's all about opinion. I was listening to Pardew on Sunday and he felt Nuno made a couple of tactical errors.

Saw the interview and felt Harry was playing devil's advocate a bit here.  Didn't seem to want to criticise Nuno or Kilman but he did subtly say that bringing another defender on naturally invites pressure.  A good point he did make was the fact that we could and probably should have scored three or four when we were on top, as well as mentioning the miss late on.  Missing guilt edged chances is as bad as letting a few in.

Can't really blame Nuno. He set us up brilliantly in that first half, and even at the start of the 2nd, we were going for a 3rd.

And should've gone 3-2 up at the end before they went and won it.

Geo definitely tried to lead him into saying bringing Kilman on was a mistake, but he said it wouldn't have mattered whether he bought on a defender or an attacker. The tide had turned.

The issue with Nuno is he invites pressure to the shittest part of our team. The defence......especially one with Kilman in it.  The way to relieve pressure was to stop them coming at us, by getting stuck in again in the midfield with fresh legs and continuing to press high with fresh legs up top.  Now the fresh legs up top bit is a no go due to the shit squad planning but he could have put some legs in midfield to get us 10-15 yards higher. 

Maybe maybe not. Like I said in that particular match, Redknapp's opinion which despite his age I do consider more valid than ours, was that it wouldn't have mattered when he was asked what he would have done. And that's from a manager who was pretty attack minded. 

The real issue is having a squad so shit that it's Kilman who has to come on.
