Re: Freddie Potts

Very promising performance. Its now about consistently playing at that level. We shall hopefully confirm over the next few games that young Freddie is our next “real deal” off the yoof development production line.  It takes a good run of games against different types of teams to really know but sign...

Re: Sullivan out!

Nothing has changed with regards to the running of yhe club. Sullivan, aided by Brady, continue to be a “clear and present danger” with their actions and can easily undermine everything.

Re: West Ham vs Newcastle | PL | 2.11.25 | Prediction and Match Thread

Todibo was a lot better, and with Potts and Wilson, provided a spine we havent had in a long while. Very early days before we know if the proverbial “corner turned” moment has occured. Encouraging and confirmed that us fans were right saying that midfield is key and where games are mostly won or los...

Re: West Ham vs Newcastle | PL | 2.11.25 | Prediction and Match Thread

Never saw that performance coming. I had written us off and the season but so glad to be wrong.  We fixed midfield and gave ourselves the platform to succeed. Could have got another 2 or 3 if everything had gone our way.  Aggression was the big difference and even the CBs looked assured. Potts and F...

Re: West Ham vs Newcastle | PL | 2.11.25 | Prediction and Match Thread

Law of averages are being tested by our weak, inadequate squad. 9 months since a home win and only 2 this calendar year. That is simply a club in freefall.   The younger players being picked is our last hope as we will be so far cut adrift by xmas that a transfer window will be irrelevant.  Nuno can...

Re: West Ham vs Newcastle | PL | 2.11.25 | Prediction and Match Thread

Nuno wont help but the “Frankenstein” squad of players of 4 managers in 15 months, who had different tactics (high versus low possession ) and with large gaps ( no striker, no physically dominant CB ) , means imo that any manager would be hard pushed to get much out of it.  Even the likes of Glasner...

Re: Nuno Out

Nuno like Potter and Moyes initially, think Paquera is a no 10. He’s not. He had a poor season or so in Italy in that role but ressurected his form at lyon as a deeper lying no 8. Same for the national team.  Moyes played him deeper eventually many times out left to link with Emerson. He is not good...

It may not get as much coverage but its to be applauded imho.  There are very few ways to voice objections and protest against the incompetent owner and his iver promoted sidekick.  Sustaining the different types of, and number of people at, the protests is critical to tgeir success.  I still think ...

We will undoubtedly lose not withstanding an act of god like that Burnley fixture 5 or so seasons back when us fans voted the “post” as MOTM 🤭

Re: As I said Sacking Potter wasn’t the answer

Managers not getting results are just a symptom of no plan or strategy from the owner and his side kick and one that involves himself in football related decisions with zero expertise or know how.  He just makes it up as he goes. And guess what? Its all come tumbling down on him and us.

I assume thete is now a consensus that Soucek should no longer start games in midfield? Being a slow player even when young , time has caught up wiyj him earlier than most. He should be used only as an impact sub? Of course if we had competent CBs that would make sense but I guess he will be picked ...

The “writing has been on the wall” imo since 2023 when the league form started falling away and Moyes said he only wanted a small squad (15) and many of those were aging.
