Well, it's the last game of 2025 in a year that few will look back on with favour or fondness.  Wrapping it up are bogey-side Brighton, who after a last minute outrageous goal in the away fixture cost us a vital victory, will fancy themselves (doesn't everyone) heading to the London Stadium.

It's another of those must win games for West Ham, and if the recovery doesn't actually commence at some point, we're fucked.  

There's been no press conference for this game, so not much to report on player availability wise.  Fullkrug is training with Milan already so he's not available.  Guilherme seems to have been ostracised for some reason despite a moderatly promising last cameo against Liverpool.  And Igor it would appear it's been decided isn't up to task.   Diouf and Wan Bissaka remain at the AFCON tournament.

Predicted Line Up:

Brighton play with a large number of overloads on the ball, and last time out we shifted to a back three quite successfully, so I'd expect to see something similar again in this game (just to get the natives uber-restless when the defensive looking lineup is announced):
Areola

Mavropanos  Kilman  Todibo

Walker Peters    Fernandes   Potts   Scarles

Paqueta 

Bowen   Summerville
Subs: Hermansen, Myers, Golambeckis, Kante, Rodriguez, Magassa, Earthy, Soucek, Wilson

Predicted Result:

It is all starting to feel a bit last chance saloon for West Ham, despite the season still having over half left to run!  Lose this game and all hope will feel lost.  Brighton though seem to be missing some key players, and this presents us a chance at least.  Brighton created almost nothing against us in the first game so I expect that gameplan and pattern to largely repeat...with the outcome to be decided on the basis of how well our Maginot Line holds up to late pressure when Brighton come on strong.

Score: West Ham 1 - 0 Brighton (Bowen)

Stop complaining everyone, we've only needed a striker for about 10 seasons.

"We tried"

Who should Nuno bring on? We dont have another CF on the books since that weak cսnt German went AWOL and Potter said he didn't need a CF.

We're a better team with Wilson in it, but he's not up to 90 mins.  Should we just play him til he does his hamstring?

What do the sages of WHO think Nuno should do? The Wilson situation is on Potter and Sullivan and Steidten.
 
 
We would already be down and out without Wilson.
Another sully special wasnt he?
Potter thought fullkrug would come good and signed hermansen instead of a striker, thats why we're in the shit now.

Looking at the bench now, who do you turn to?

We're cacking ourselves at corners but Soucek won't keep up with the game if he comes on.

In a shock to completely no-one, we can’t get out our own half because we don’t have anyone to play up to.

pray for a red card or a huge slice of luck.
