Well after the disaster of Monday at Brentford, the thought of more West Ham in the same week is enough to put anyone in a bad mood.  The 'pros' always talk about wanting to get bad games out of their system quickly, and this gives them that opportunity, but also sets up a horrible start to the weekend for the rest of us!

Teamwise, Mavro is out with what looked a nasty hamstring injury.  Fullkrug is still broken, and Earthy remains unfit.  Otherwise the rest of the squad are fit from a health perspective....maybe less so from a 'wear the shirt' angle.

Nuno's logic for his inverted fullbacks it's been revealed was to try and counter Brentford's inverted wing thread, by showing them onto the defender's strong foot...the less said about the success of that the better.  And it struggles to explain Irving and Soucek in the pivot, beyond maybe 'they're both tall'.

Anyway, hopefully that's the last of the experimentation and we can revert to what at least appears a bit less shit.  Wouldn't surprise me to see him go with a back 5 in this game though (and what I'll assume for my predicted XI).

Predicted lineup:Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Todibo, Scarles, Potts, Irving, Guilherme, Wilson, Marshall

The squad is now a real quandary.  We don't have a good CB pairing...Todibo looks hopeless, Kilman and Igor both left footed, with one an unknown and the other weak as the senior CB.  Mavro was signed to be 3rd choice, but he's suddenly the most important man in the back line...a problem in itself.

Summerville is a must have...the only true pace in the side so leaving him out can't be compromised.  If 3 at the back and 3-4-3 was viable, not a problem....but once again we don't have a midfield with a logical two-man pairing.  Add in that Bwoen and Soucek are the only goals, and Paqueta is the only real 'vision' and we are in a bad place with a squad that don't work in combination.

So will he gamble on a bad back two, an untried midfield pair, or leave out one of the 'key' players in Soucek, Bowen, Paqueta, and Summerville.

And as for playing a real striker....

Predicted Score: Leeds 2 : 0 West Ham.

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

COYI!

The fact that both our central defenders are not capable of winning one header, is quite frankly embarrassing.

I can feel the very same burning sensation in my piss from the days when Avram was here skulking around on the touchline with his Baron Greenback face

  

It’s Nunover. He will never win a match. Get rid before he appoints any staff.

Nuno talked about working on winning duels, I think we’ve won one by my count.

Has to be said, I’m already concerned that Nuno is yet another absolute ringer as manager.

The first-half line up against Brentford was appalling. And he’s picked the same central midfield tonight.

I’m sorry, but there is no rational assessment that ends with the conclusion that Soucek and Irving are our strongest midfield core. There just isn’t.

Nuno’s start has been batshit, frankly. There’s no escaping it.

Relegation.

Sounds like the away support has turned on Kilman and singing to him "your not fit to wear the shirt".

Fair comment. cսnt should be dropped. And should have been a long time ago.

1 shot on target Brentford at Home

1 shot on target against newly promoted Leeds 

Takes some doing as a manager out shining both Potter and Lop in the crap management stakes. So bad I would even take the semi retired BFS back! Not knocking the forwards as what can you do with the slow plodding crap behind you but midfield and defence wise this has got to be as bad as any West Ham side I've seen. Kilman makes Gary Breen look like Franz Beckenbaur and Todibo not much better. Awful just awful . Surely there must be a 35 year old bloke on Hackney Marshes better than Kilman.

We're definitely going down... it's nailed on as far as I can see.

The ref's a cսnt. Much like our board, our manager and most of our players.

How the fuck was that not a foul.

OMG this ref

Sad thing is Leeds are fucking gash as well. But miles more of a team than us.
Surely there are changes at half time. SURELY

HOW WAS THAT NOT A FOUL ON SUMMERVILLE???? That is a fucking JOKE. Clotheslined right in front of the ref

The fouls they are getting away with…. This is insane!

Yeah, this ref is a cսnt alright 

REFS A FUCKING JOKE MASSIVE FOUL DRAG BACK ON SUMMERVILLE

AMPADU waltzes through a non existant midfield with Irving yards behind him. AMPADU.

Surely the CM has to be changed at half time. It cannot go on like this. He cannot have seen ANYTHING to suggest this should carry on for a minute longer

  

Everyone could see this performance before a ball was kicked tonight.   We deserve to go down, Bowen can then his move to a decent club which he truly deserves.

Nuno can fuck off. Get out my club. 

Looks defeated already. 

In every position, they're taller, stronger, faster than us. Even in the preview Sky were looking at Perri not the greatest but 100 times better than mad mads. 

Why do we get it so wrong every time.

"World class team for a world class stadium"
Baroness cսnt

This utter cսnt of a ref is letting them get away with all sorts.

It's hurts so see how uncomfortable Irving and Soucek operate in the middle.
Ther abilities are close to zero of what is needed.

The ones defending them are nonces, and the one picking them is pisstaking

This reminds me of the scene in Porky's when Lassie is having a bunk up in the kit room and screaming out and the Basketball players are playing like idiots, just like our shower of shit.

But no one wanted him. West Ham fans are too grand for the likes of dyche
