It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.

This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win.  Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be.  With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.

Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's.  Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward.  And of course Soucek is back.

Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.

Predicted Starting Lineup:

Areola

Wan Bissaka   Mavropanos    Kilman    Diouf

Magassa

Fernandes             Soucek       Paqueta       Summerville

Bowen (c)

Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles

Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

COYI

Even Pep couldn’t get a tune from this squad, 3 managers in a year and we’re still shit, these players,apart from Bowen are championship level, and that’s where they’ll be playing next season.

[Maverick180180]

Now get Scarles, Soucek, and Irving off the pitch and get Diouf, Magassa and Wilson on 

oh and Eerie Descrnt don’t ever try and talk to me about football again you know nothing cretin 

[southbankbornnbred]

Abysmal.

We are being outfought, outthought and look out of our depth in the Premier League.

Too many of these players are Championship calibre. Kilman, Irving, Todibo, Walker-Peters (especially at left-back: he’s been tossed around like a dog toy by Brentford’s powerful right-sided players). Even Ollie Scarles at the moment (especially at right back).

This is just fucking awful.

[Far Cough UKunt]

I mean ginger Pele was a bit limited but he's streets ahead of any of our current defenders.

I don't blame Nuno but look at the crap he was left with.

[Nutsin]

Paqueta can’t stop passing to a Brentford player.

Can’t wait to see the back of him.

Take Scarles off and bring on Diouff ffs!

[goose]

There’s bad goals to concede and there’s bad goals to concede.

that was fucking atrocious.

we’ve not been out our half in about 30min.

[twoleftfeet]

66% possession 
15 shots on goal
6 on target

The away team.

I wonder if Forest want him back.

Pathetic, utterly pathetic 

[kylay]

How did anyone ever believe that Kilman was worth 40 million quid? You'd think you would at least get a competent CB at that price.

[Far Cough UKunt]

Kilman is utter toilet

[honky cat]

Kilman shit again. 

Exactly what O’Neill was talking about pre match. 

 

 

 

 

 

Hes fucking desperate. Shocking cowardly player

[zico]

This is relegation stuff. Don't think I've seen such tripe since the days of uncle avram. Just got no legs, quality or fight. Hard to believe some of these players are pros. Stealing a living.

[chevy chase]

If ever a goal was coming

[Westham67]

We look fragile at the back and bereft of ideas going forward, 

[Iron Duke]

We are shocking. Being outplayed by Wimbledon 

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Kilman horror defending again.  

This is a relegation side.

[pdcwhu]

Shut up you Selfish Cunts 

[El Scorchio]

Just seen what Sullivan is wearing. What a cսnt. 

[Sweep]

Lucky to get nil in this half. 

[El Scorchio]

Kilman shit again. 

Exactly what O’Neill was talking about pre match. 

[Iron Duke]

Fucking pathetic 

[Pub Bigot]

Awful line up and performance to boot. 

I’m not sure who is more at fault, the players or the manager. 

It’s fucking shit. 

[RootsRadical]

Surprise surprise 

[threesixty]

No. Mid. Field. 

[Maverick180180]

To all the West Ham fans that defended that line up 
welcome to reality 

[kylay]

It's a good thing Brentford cannot hit the wide side of a barn because our inability to defend set pieces is both mental and diabolical at this point.
