What a difference a game made. Last week, despair and not knowing where the next scrappily won point would come from.  Fast forward 5 days, and there is expectation that we see off Burnley like the upstarts they are, that Nuno has found the 'formula' and it's onwards and upwards from here.

Of course, these things are rarely ever black or white, and somewhere in the middle is more likely, but with the emergence of Potts from his bench-shackles, a reinvigorated and impactful Paqueta supported by colleagues that could operate on his wave length, and the energy of Fernandes, there were at least glowing embers in the previously distinguished firepit.

The Burnley game will also see pre-match protestation, with the (as of now) 16,000 signature petition delivered to the Club in printed form at the end of a 'Stratford to the Stadium' protest march, which should hopefully see also a positive mood and energy spill over into support.

Team wise, Nuno has hinted at some knocks from the previous game...but training videos looked to show all the main protagonists in attendance except Wilson.

Predicted line-up.

Hard to see anything but enforced deviation from the team that beat Newcastle.  Wilson maybe a lingering doubt.  Kante, Golambeckis and Myers continue to train with the first team, so it will be interesting to see if someone like Kante with his presence and stature can show enough raw ability to push past others to a place on the bench in the coming weeks.Predicted Score:  

Things at West Ham rarely run smoothly.  It wouldn't surprise me to see Burnley get the first gut-punch of a goal, and for us to then have to scrap tooth and nail to get something from the game. They have a good solid midfield, and have been clinical in attack thus far.  In what feels like a must not lose game, I could see a draw as an outcome, but hopefully buoyed by the Newcastle result, we find a way to prevail.

West Ham 2 - 1 Burnley.
(Bowen, Summerville)

COYI!

Soucek for Potts will weaken us. Magassa Nuno, Magassa !!! 

Burnley looking far more likely side to score imo.

We have nothing to change it

Potts done his hamstring?

Soucek aside I don’t there’s a player on that bench able to score a goal.

So what good has come out of him here?

Add Magassa and put Fernandes in the middle (cam)

So short on power in this side.

Back to how it was before they scored the first

Burnley dominating and we just give it back. We cannot match their pace and physicality

We are gonna concede another. Nuno needs to change things. 

Bowen giving the ball away again. 

 

It actually looks like they hate playing at the bowl

Is there a more passive and limp team in the PL than us?

It's a terrible admition, but Parker and Cullen would strengthen us

An old fashioned, head on everything, centre half has to be a priority. Ideally one that doesn’t have a ricket a game in him a la Mavropanos. 

Not been the best. Second to balls and not aggressive enough as a team. Bowen largely marked out the game so far. We give the ball back cheaply. Like to see more from a couple of these players. 

True Ron, he’s a makeshift striker with no legs but his positioning is good  as in the goal where you see he gets his head up to make sure he is onside before Summerville shoots. He also uses his body well to be a nuisance even though he is very static.

Trouble is we are struggling to get and move the ball thru midfield and once we lose it we just dont have the legs and or workrate to press and get it back.  

And who we got to come on as a game changer? Tommy thats it.  

Like I said, I can see Paqueta getting a red. 

I hope on the 1st day of the window a big centre half who loves coming off the pitch with cuts and bruises on him is announced

For all that, can't think of a save Areola has had to make.


 

Say what you like about Wilson, and I have said what I like and hated the signing, but given he and Ings are basically the same type of player, he’s showing how bad Ings actually was. Wilson has lost some pace, but his movement, you’d have to accept, is really good. 

They ate controlling midfield and we still lack the legs to press and get the ball back.  Equally totally reliant on Summerville’s speed.  For the umpteenth year of saying it, we need more pace and physicality. Id give Magassa a run out and withdraw Paqueta who looks like a red card waiting to happen

Am liking the defensive headers inside our box by Potts
Perhaps he can teach Kilman to get his head on a ball

We looked really edgy in possession until they scored, trying to force passes and force the pace and looked the poorer side until then.

For all that, can't think of a save Areola has had to make.

Paqueta needs to calm down.

We have to be on it all game but arent. Burnley sat back after going ahead and now we are level they are starting to come back into it.  

We do miss a target man for an outball but at least Wilson did what he’s good at picking up the loose ball in the 6 yard area. 

But over 45 mins they have in all honesty been the better team.  But Kilman was awful on their goal. Ball watching and outjumped by a smaller man
