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!

been banging this drum all season too, again this week had a load of stick for it

fucking see it now do we all? 

 

Pathetic. Gutless. Clueless.

With the exception of our fans, EVERYBODY involved in that catastrophe tonight should hand their heads in shame. Manager, coaches, players, fitness staff etc. Absolutely abysmal.

Not even close to Premier League standard.

Who knew that playing players in their best positions would make a difference

It was how it was laid out on the screen, nothing more than that. More a dig at Nuno, not you.

Ok point taken

 

I actually like the players you selected. Not far off what I'd go for.

Of course you only concentrate on Tomas Scapegoat as others like Paqueta gets overlooked!

 

 

Yeah glad Soucek started he was fucking unreal yet again tonight you absolute tool

 

I didn't want him starting either, I wanted Potts and Fernandes! But don't let that get in the way of your incessant hatred for Tomas Scapegoat you wanker.

  

This one's on Nuno again, the bloke is a fucking idiot. Rob Green coating Nuno on Sky, rightly so.

Special mention for Todibo who is the shittest player I've ever seen pull on the shirt in the last decade. I hope someone ends his career with a neck high two footer in training. 

Baffling, there needs to be some sort of enquiry as to what the fuck Nuno was playing at with that fucking lineup, useless cսnt.

That’s all on the manager. 

Two games thrown there. What was that lineup?

Strange how we look good when you put your players in the right positions. 

We are going down if he carry’s on with that starting lineup.

Can't see us getting out of it though with our two centre backs. Maybe move Soucek and Irving back there, at least they won't have to run too far!

yeah mainly because he picked your useless cսnt of a mate Soucek yet again. As i said, playing with 10 men!

What a cսnt Todibo is. We get a lifeline and then we floats a shit ball into the keepers arms and then wasted two minutes giving away a stupid free kick and then getting himself booked with a mardy show of dissent.

I haven't hated a player more than him for a long, long time.

On the plus side, at least we scored a goal.

Lost that game when the team sheet went in, just like Monday. 

Ref was poor.

That loss is 100% on Nuno. Fucking shocking management. For me that was worse than ANYTHING Potter did given what happened on Monday.

Absolute joke.

They were very beatable. Why the fucking hell didn't he just do what he did against Everton? 

Two 6 pointers and he puts out those two starting 11’s 

sackable if you ask me, the Forest owner would get rid

The most inept chasing of a game you’ll ever see.
kilman going backwards, Todibo being a prick and Paqueta giving away silly free kicks.

We're so fucking shit it's hard to watch us play this season. Depressing 

No one has any fight in them the lot of them can't be bothered. What does Bowen actually do as captain ?
