0-1.
Ever the optimist. 

[Tomsdad]

3-1 Defeat.
Stick some youngsters in the team. Cant do any worse than the old boys!

[Fauxstralian]

Last 5 games:
West Ham 3 draws 2 defeats
Brighton 1 draw 4 defeats
Two teams crawling to the end of the season
Should be a cracker

[Mex Martillo]

I almost prefer to watch the U21s.
Difficult to see our 1st team turning up today.

[fraser]

I'll be out today when this is on and normally when I am I'm checking my phone every 5 minutes and a bit pissed off I'm missing it, not today.

Fuck me Sydders, why don't you say that one more time, we never heard you the other 20. 

Win, Lose or Draw im not going to be too bothered......21!

I may make an exception for the Spurs game though so you can have a week off pulling me up on the subject

[Manuel]

Win, Lose or Draw im not sure i will be that bothered

Would like to see the big German start and if we do go a goal up then Potter doesn't go all Southgate and prioritise defending that rather than go for another, seems they both share that particular trait?

Time to return to those crazy days of the 5 at the back beating arsenal.

AWB TODDERS KILMAN  CRESSWELL SCARLES

​​​NAMES OUT THE HAT FOR MIDFIELD 

BOWEN + 1

FULK on at 46 minutes

​​​​​​Finally it's AHA! for Partridge 1-2


 

[Massive Attack]

I'd like to see Kilman left out.

I feel the same about him, time to drop him. I've been very disappointed by what he's produced this season looking way off it. Even if it acts as a wake up call because he simply hasn't been consistent enough. I need to try something different to shake it all up with fuck all pressure on the Team. Try out the Academy lad Kasey and kill 2 birds with the same stone.

[Manuel]

I suspect we will see a continuation of us looking better away from home, which is obviously a big concern in itself, but that's for another time/thread.

Will go 1-1 and the German to start.

I'd like to see Kilman left out.

[XKhammer]

Win as away form way better than our pathetic home form 

[,]

We will win tomorrow especially as Chris Sutton has predicted a 2-1 defeat for us.

[Sir Alf]

Im getting so old. Counted AWB as 2 ( which he is compared to some of our players) so it was 11 after all.

*** goes for nap ***

[Sir Alf]

We will definitely have a chance we have 12 in my starting 11

[Sir Alf]

We will lose is my feeling and based on what we have been seeing this and the last 3 seasons.  

cannot pick a midfield 2, 3 or 4 ( if we go super defensive which I expect ) that can compete with most midfields in the Premier League bur here’ s a bash at the best starting11 based on who is form, available and will have a commitment / good attitude ( imo)

Areola
Wan Bissaka Todibo Kilman Mavro Emerson
JWP Soler Paqueta
Bowen Fullkrug

Kilman only seems to play well in a 3 at the back. Kudus is woefully out of form and his head seems elsewhere as he just does not do enough when out of possession. Use him as an impact sub second half. 

like i say, feel we will lose but the above starting 11, sit  with 5 at the back, to be hard to get around and 3 in the middle to counter attack which seems the best way to play with our unbalanced squad. 


 

[wils]

We always get battered there. Don't understand why. Expecting more of the same here. I am so pessimistic after that Southampton game that I could even see myself giving this a miss and just plucking up the courage to check the score later in the day. 

3-0

Interested to see if Fulkrug starts, though.

[stubbo-admin]

Good lad Honky, getting this up there.

Anyway...both teams are in DIRE form, with neither having a win in their last 6. 

0-0 or 1-1 for me.  Enough to secure our safety...not enough to inspire anything amongst the fan base.

Team:

Areola

Wan Bissaka Todibo Kilman Emerson

JWP

Bowen Soler Paqueta Kudus

Fullkrug

[Mad Ferret]

Dismal 2-0 defeat.

[Massive Attack]

0-1 Fullkrug I reckon. Would be nice to take a bit of momentum in to the next game against Spurs.

[scott_d]

Always care, and a rare chance to finish above Spurs so they can tell us they don't care about us.

A win and we have a chance.
