West Ham Scouting Report just in...

1. At some point, O'Leary will kick the ball straight to one of our forwards. If we aren't too surprised, we should be able to capitalise.
2. For Vyner - see 1 above
3. Let Tanner pass the ball. We will be 20 yards further up the pitch if he passes.
4. Matty James has an impressive 96% pass success rate.  Let James pass the ball! In fact, don't even mark him... there's no threat here...
5. Don't let Williams or Dickie shoot. Someone will have to get the ball back from the Westfield Shopping Centre.
6. If Sam Bell plays, make sure the medical team have savlon as he will fall over and graze his knees.
7. Conway recently appeared in a national newspaper article. Turns out it was for players most in need of a hug...
8. Can we check the guy who does the score board knows how to get the left hand number into double figures?
9. We can play the U12s against this lot but make sure they have had a good night's sleep as nothing in the game will keep them awake
10. This lot are ****ing unless

 

I bet this sounded funny in your head.

Could be an epic tomorrow.

It feels like Cross is having to take out every finish that he gets, no matter how difficult, just to stay with him.

TC has been disappointing in open play, bar his Cameo role at Rotherham, but as many have said playing the lone striker role is not really suiting him. I think we should be offering new contract in the summer and only off-loading if he won't sign an extension.

I do agree that he seems to have lost a yard of pace since returning from injury though.

 

People who know more about it than me have said that the new contract has been on the table for some time now.

I think we can count ourselves lucky that the 2020-21 season was played behind closed doors. Surely one of our 13 home defeats would have featured in this list, but I doubt many of us can remember much about those games from Robins TV. What a truly miserable season that was.

The home game against Millwall that season made our performance today look like that of a title winning side.

Christ this place is a mess after a defeat.

It's not even the worst this season FFS.

I think dwelling on stuff is a bit of a thing right now. 
 

But yes I will try and take your advice in the coming days. Today I’m bloody angry. 
 

 

Given that after the Norwich game you were "as angry as I've ever been after a game" or something similar, do you maybe not think you overreact somewhat?

Are people still in denial about the ability of Conway? Looks out of his depth in every single game. 

Those goals last season and against Rotherham were down to luck then?

It's almost as if we're a middle of the table team who will sometimes play well and sometimes won't....

How about we just take it game to game without getting carried away either positively or negatively?

*taps sign*

What are the trains like today?

I completely forgot the sub forum was there . If it's on the main forum then it's easy to skip past if you have no interest in ex players etc.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Yet quite a few posters seem to struggle with it.

I guess while still a loan we would be protected against buying him if he was unfortunate to suffer an absolute shocker of an injury 

Which, if we're being honest, would be absolute peak Bristol City.

Reckon that side might just stay up in the prem (I know Tammy was a loan but I miss him and you do to ) 

Be honest, you've put Tanner in there to trigger certain people haven't you?

Not sure I can think of any time over the years when two ex City players scored in the top flight on same day

Happened a few weeks ago, Semenyo and Reid. And Brownhill the day before.

**** me

Oof.

This is sensational, it's not as if Barney is playing badly either.

As usual, Exeter looked fitter, stronger and better organised.

Dobey has been as good as anybody so far.

Meh. 10 from 4 will have to do.

I was under the impression any non Saturday 3pm was available on the red button, I must've been wrong!

That definitely used to be the case, as long as the home club made it available to UK viewers. That doesn't seem to be happening this season even though the clubs are still showing them.

It's not on there tonight, Robins TV only.

As a general rule, the red button shows all scheduled midweek fixtures. In the past they've shown odd games that have moved from Saturday and games on Boxing Day etc when the clubs make them available to a UK audience (e.g tonight, Hull last week), but that seems to have stopped this year.

I use this: https://www.live-footballontv.com/

Sky should be doing their EFL 21 under 21 in the next couple of weeks too. Last season's had Conway, Scott, Knight and Mehmeti in it, whilst Scott and Semenyo were in the previous year's edition.

Why are you lying, Joe?
