Earthy loan indeed seems to nake no sense. Despite bad injuries this and last season he came back into the U21s and within 2 or 3 games was the best player on the park. Better than Kante.  Im a tad worried about Potts and Magassa. They are young and dips in form are typical for younger players after...

Opinions but I tend to agree with Helmut ( being a Helmet meself of course ) that Pablo though a bit one paced did give a massive contribution to the team and was often seen deep in our own galf helping out in midfield. I watched the game on a replay channel this morning. He needs to strengthen but ...

Our problem has been losing leads under Nuno. Our squad is non existent. We seem to compete in a lot of games for 60 mins but have no subs that wont weakrn us. Spurs, with 7 injuries and like just about every other team, can freshen things up with recent subs. Bissouma,  improved them for example 2n...

With 7 points ar home and 10 away, i think we can conclude we need to fix our home form to gave any chance of keeping hope alive.   Unfortunately we struggle with teams that sit deep and compact and who break quickly. The 2 new lads up top help simply due to their work ethic by pressing and challeng...

According to West Ham insider Sean Whetstone, it is very much personal after Ward-Prowse allegedly called Nuno “baldie” during his ill-fated spell at Nottingham Forest. 

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 agains...

Agree Fraser.  Great to get a result with the “marginals” going our way for once. Quality of the performance was not much better than most the games we lost like against Fulham, Forest, Villa and Brighton but we were quite unlucky to lose most of those. We were worth a draw in other words. Yesterday...

Suspect the appearance with a few mins to go of the game was simply a way to trigger his contract clause that pays him a decent wedge as opposed to the ridiculously low basic he’s on.  Scoring a goal to win was a “happy accident” and certainly not a tactical masterstroke.  Created a dilemma for Nuno...

I predict definite defeat, no chance of anything and we bleedin win.  Stupid game innit!    

Need to follow it up to be convinced it means any thing but beating the Spuds always nice 

*** prepares large slice if humble pie ***

Good to see two up top with Bowen and Summerville too but needs us to control midfield and / or provide supply. Soucek will get done in midfield if too deep and when played in midfield from the start tends to chase shadows with minimal touches. Magassa had a couple of dodgy games but dropped totally...

Thats the reality check some of the optimists ( bless em ) beed Tomsdad.   In the past , ive always seen a West Ham team capable of springing a surprise now and then. Not this one. We dont have 11 players good enough with strength and pace stlill a central issue but also we dont have a well managed ...

10 poor souls eho listen to their hearts not their heads. Conor Gallagher will be MOTM and score at least one.  Some will say there are no certainties, you always have a chance. They have not been paying attention. We will lose. Our best 11 are not good enough and we have no, I repeat no subs in the...

The 5 people saying we will win need certifying asap and  quickly put into those jackets with very long arms that wrap around the back.  We can only guess that its just the pure guessing of eternal optimists who would always say we win how unlikely it is. This weekend we will go down meekly just lik...

What the hell you on Eastside? Meth? Crack? Ketamin? 

Interesting thought Ferret.  If the unthinkable hapoens and he turns up at Palace ( I dont believe for one minute he will ) , his firm improving will point to coaching problems beimg a factor ( although having a leader alongside who talks to him / tells him what to do equally could be a cause of his...

Anyone who thinks we are getting anything from this needs help and fast.  On the other hand,  anyone who clicks a win or draw, please please let me know what mind altering substance(s) you are on. Must be some real strong sh*t

Lads the early signing of a couple of overpriced Mendes clients has possibly had its intended effect. Placate the fans, appear to show urfency and action and create false  expectations which Sullivan is undoubtedly world champion level at.   2 weeks have since passed by, our best CB aerially at set ...

Well said Stubbo. Sums it up very well. The song “Bubbles” started to be sung for a player with curly locks back in the pre or post WW2 era ( cant recall exactly when but according to my old grandad) and even then the fans appreciated the “gallows humour” of the lyrics.  The enduring culture at West...

Decent championship player is the limit of what Ive seen so far but its still very early days. He has given some effort and improved us up top but simply because we had so few options.  We needed pace and strength, Pablo has the later, neither he or Pablo have the former.  Pablo is young and might h...

If Paqueta goes dont expect to see the fee we get spent on new young players. For me it signifies that Sullivan has given up on survival and now is cost recovery and containment mode. We might get a loan or 2 of some old, slow, high experienced at big clubs once, has beens to appease fans but not mu...

We will see if this new coach makes any difference soon enough.  Should be evident within 5 games but probably too late anyway and besides it will only prove what a few of us are suspecting that Nuno, like Moyes, was only as good as is back room staff. ? 

Agree Nutsin although getting in the right players, or for that fact any players, is always the risk with Sullivan. He may just see the fee as a way to cover much of the cost of the two lads brought in and look instead for some budget fee, stop gaps. Old, slow, high wages, no resale value are the us...

Sadly I agree 100% Massive when it comes to Summerville. Too lightweight and awful decision making. Holds onto the ball far too long and doesnt get his head up to see, let alone use, team mates in better positions.  Holding onto the ball too long even impacts his effectiveness when he does get openi...

Not saying Paq doesnt want to leave ideally in his head ( go back home, leave failing team etc ) but the “onstrike” bit is Sullivan wanting to sell him and in so doing “throw in the towel” on survival.  By painting Paqueta as going on strike it means Sully avoids the backlash from West H fans for se...

He puts in effort. Thats about it so far. Took his header well but wont get that space in the PL.

Takes 10 or so games, sometimes longer to know if a player is going to be a real asset or just “ok”. He wont make the difference between relegation and survival thats for sure.
