We'll win today.  I'm confident.

The West Ham effect! Happened long before Nuno was here.

Not involved today and we win. Has generally been exposed lately as not being up to it. Soucek far the superior option in the middle. Would be worth getting rid before the end of the window IMO.   tell us you're a wind-up merchant without telling us you're a wind-up merchant. or tell us you know fu...

I think there will be some surprises today, most notably a West Ham win.

Starting with Bowen, Summerville, Taty and Pablo is the first surprise - that suggests he's going for it?

Agree we desperately needed a CB before Mav went off today, so probably need 2 now.

But look at our bench.  The attacking options are absolutely shocking.

We needed these two strikers before we decided to offload Callum Wilson.

If he is being belligerent and trying to get himself sacked and it costs us relegation he might shoot to number 1 in my most hated people in football Frankly its the only thing j can think of for his match tactics and selections, and if what we're hearing about how he's conducting is true, that cou...

If we dont get any new CB's then he may as well try Tomas instead of Kilman, at lest he shows a bit of fucking bottle. No clean sheets since Nuno took over, so definitely need a CB or two. We definitely need more firepower though, just someone who's going to maybe put a shot on goal might help so f...

He might have insisted on 5 years in the hope that he gets more than 6 months of Premier League Football?

RIP Alex V
I'm not sure if he'll be proud or ashamed but there have been some good times on here over the years.

Our most urgent need is to stop conceding circa two goals a game so an effective defender or two is needed at least as much as forwards. To be fair having a presence upfield may stop us sitting so deep and help us not concede goals  Agree, but not keeping a clean sheet since Nuno arrived is definit...

We don't have the league position or the funds to do anything ground breaking this transfer window so I'm really hoping the combination of Traore, Pablo and Castallanos will at least give us some options on the bench. Even if it puts a rocket up the arse of the current forwards who had had no compet...

Absolutely can see us losing to Wolves.

If anything epitomised our current situation, it would be defeat to Wolves on Sunday.

Nailed on.

Something that is not really Nuno's fault, is the lack of options on the bench.

It's quite depressing seeing us last night knowing that it's very difficult to make a positive change with a substitution.

Credibility went out the window when you referred to his 'girlfriend' as young! 

Compared to Potter and Loppy, Nuno has improved our performances. Sadly, it' still not enough and it looks like there has been some real damage done since we dropped Moyes and shopped for replacements in the sale rail. Sacking Nuno isn't the answer unless it means investing in a replacement, but we...

I can't work out exactly what Sullivan is still doing here if he's not going to sell the club?  He is NOT a West Ham fan, he doesn't have any affinity to the club, he doesn't actually care about the future success of the club and he has stated that he would make more money investing his money elsewh...

For the people that keep harping on about Earthy being on the bench - what do you think he can bring to a game? Is he gonna get us a goal? Is he gonna help us defend a lead? The answer to both of those questions is no. That’s why we have Soucek/Guido/Irving on the bench. Oh yes the prolific Guido a...

Eerie Im Muslim so can be as homophobic as I like You massive bummer Barton is entitled to his opinion about women pundits but he is just obsessed.

Colchester isn't far from me so took the trip up the A12 and watched it with my brother and nephew. Decent performance without being overly exciting. Good performance from Earthy but the GK Herrick was the stand out for me as he made a number of saves in the second half to keep us in the game, inclu...

We got a point more than we really expected at Bournemouth, Man Utd and Brighton now.

It's not really moved us up the table but it has surprised me.

We do seem to be making ourselves harder to beat - which is not pretty but is important in our position.

Would love to see our Potts get one over Fernandes.

Starting Soucek indeed is the wrong call. We need to dominate midfield with Magassa, Potts and Fernandes.  Had little to no hope but thus virtually guarantees a defeat.  Soucek is not equipped physically to play in the PL just like Irvine and Guido. These managers never learn from the past or prese...
