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!

They waltzed through our midfield for the goal... and again just then. 

I’m beginning to think this fucking idiot doesn’t know his left and rights. 

So far the ref has ignored the fella jumping into Irving and the late challenge on Paqueta.

WTF is going on here.

Don't know weather to laugh, cry or top myself.
Never seen anything like this in my 60 years of following the club.

Scarles asleep at the wheel. What’s new.

Shocking defending.

I know inverted wingers are fashionable these days but playing the full backs on their wrong foot to counter that is misguided and must be a pure nod in tribute to Malcolm Allison in his second spell at Citeh way back in the day.

What an absolute joke. I hope the fans start giving it to nuno for this suicidal approach. 

Ref looks fucking piss weak already

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE FULL BACKS ON THE WRONG SIDE?
WHAT IS HE DOING?

This season's Southampton 

FOMB

We should just go into administration tonight and take the 12 point deduction.

Look, we deserved that for being fucking gash, but how is DCL not interfering with play there? He's right in front of the keeper. Against a big club that's absolutely disallowed.

Excellent work Scarles

Pathetic. We held out for 3 minutes.  

Didn’t see that coming

Fuck me this is definitely the worse side I’ve seen in 50 years, keep it under 6 lads

That's it. Dead certs for relegation. 

Hardly surprising.

Our players were looking around at what was going on from the first minute.

Summerville on the right as well this bloke is either trying to get sacked or he hasn't heard Forest have a new manager! Pub teams are run better than West Ham.

we lasted all of 3 minutes.  AWB Ball watching. Fucks sake.

Just sack this piss taking cսnt tonight.

Scarles is so bad against the aerial ball

Surprise surprise.
Losing already.

Jesus Christ 

fucking Scarles at RB.
