Sorry the post is late up.

After what feels like an age since we limped past Burnley, we're off to the seaside to take on many peoples favourite second team, Bournemouth.

All hussle, bustle and high intensity, Iraola's mob are the modern watch word for modern style, and there is plenty to be concerned about with talented forwards and great energy in the side.  But they've lost the last two, comprehensively against Villa, and if there is a good time to play them....maybe it's now.

After the last international break, Nuno went full Looney Tunes....let's hope for a modcum of sense this time around.

Predicted Lineup:

Hard to see beyond a team similar to the last few games, but with Paquéta suspended, all eyes will be on who replaces him from a squad devoid of any real creative influence.

No doubt the temptation will be to shoehorn Soucek into the side, but against the high energy Cherries, it surely has to be Magassa, with Fernandes pushing forwards.Subs: Hermansen, Mavropanos, Igor, KWP, Soucek, Irving, Kante, Guilherme, Earthy

Predicted Score:  A desmond.....2-2  (Willson, Soucek)

Anyone joining this site for the first time and not knowing the result would have read the first few pages and presumed we had been soundly thrashed.

Strange bunch WHO posters, a mixture of experts who think they know best and posters who think we should be massive. Luckily there are still a few left on here who know our history.

He got it right in that game because we won the game 3-1 with his tactics to keep attacking, as well as taking off Wilson when he did past the hour mark having not being able to score or assist during the Newcastle game. Making nowhere near the same contribution as he just did now clearly bang in form in the 1st half against Bournemouth, having also scored in the last match against Burnley (he hadn't scored since Forest). The two scenarios are not the same with how we approached both games. 

As for knowing fuck all about the Boxing, I've still managed to earn a pretty penny so that'll do me.

Any particular favourite colours you'd prefer to use..

You've never earnt a penny from boxing, more bullshit from a fucking idiot. 

Wanna bet..
















And that's just over the past years or so. 

 

Confirmed that Guilherme twisted his ankle in the first half and came off injured.

Just seen something saying we made 57 clearances in this game, 

Never seen anything like that before. 

Maybe that game at Chelsea where Mourinho started whining after a 0-0 against Allardyce's team?

We all agree he’s made some seemingly crazy decisions but he has also learnt from them, which is what I want to see. The downfall of Potter and Moyes is just how stubborn they were. They needed to prove to everyone around them how smart they are. Very “David Brent” like really

I think we have to understand we as fans know more about West Ham than he does and he is learning the players, the history, the chairmen etc.. we all know how shit it is and what needs changing. Maybe that’s one of the reasons he kept the same staff because he needs that info. Got to cut him some slack and let him make his own mistakes otherwise he will never learn. Just look at Arne Slot at the moment, flapping about because that last season wasnt really his team or his decisions. Now he has to make serious decisions he’s a bit lost.

Sometimes you bet on the lucky ones not just the smart ones. He fucked up a bit on Saturday and got lucky. But he also made the call for Areola in goal instead of the new signing so is that luck? 

Personally, I can see a method to his madness in all his subs on Saturday. I dont think he should have done them but I understand why. And sometimes thats all I ask of a manager, at least make it make sense! Potter never made sense, Moyes after a while, the same. You could only conclude it was ego that was driving them. I dont get that with Nuno. I’m glad he’s here.

I would agree if he was still doing it next season after 2 transfer windows, but he can't have been that bad with it consistently, given that he finished 7th twice in a row with Wolves, and 7th last year (which was a fag paper away from being 5th) so his record tells us, given a bit of time, it won't be as bad as what we're seeing at times now.

We're in an absolute dogfight, which isn't of his doing, he has come in and at least significantly improved our defending, our fight, and scoring goals. The 2nd half was horrendous, no question, but it was shocking conditions, wind blowing into our faces, and in the end we got a point, albeit lucky.

We have a badly put together squad, shocking, no back up attacking players worth a rub of salt, who were getting rolled over without a fight before he came in. Corners against us were like penalties. We can't keep chopping and changing, we need to get behind him, get him some reinforcements in January, and see what he does from there. Hopefully something like he did at Forest.

That's not to say his poor decisions can't be debated, but some of the reactions are well over the top. He's been in charge for 7 games ffs

 

Think you are giving him a bit of a pass Eerie, he has had 7 games and 3 of them he has been absolutely woeful tactically when all 3 games were winnable.  You can even argue that some of the decisions in those 3 games are far worse than anything Lop or Potter done. 

The squad isnt as bad as it looked start of season, he has proven that in how he has got a tune out of them. Jlop and Potter were so bad that him getting us to defend better and look better attacking wise has felt like he has reinvented the wheel.  But the way he turned the game with two subs to make us feel delighted with a point after being 2 up at HT ........well he deserves pelters for that.

It does feel like 2 steps forward 1 step back with him. I dont know if it is him desperate to make big calls or to keep that element of control by keeping the players guessing. But it seems like when he finds a solution and we look better he implodes the whole thing and has to chuck some points away. That's not what we need in a dogfight. 

No free pass mate, I just think given our position when he took over, and let's not forget we also got absolutely torn apart by Wolves in the cup, yes he's made a few bad decisions, but he's been here 5 minutes and already we've seen a huge improvement overall.

And your last sentence there makes no sense to me. What we needed in the dogfight we're in is a manager who the players respect, will fight for, put their bodies on the line, and gets the team scoring goals. We were doing NONE of that.

He's far from the sort of manager I'd ordinarily want at the club, the owners are the real problem, but we've done all that to death. He is our manager, he's made some mistakes, but he's given me some hopewe might stay up, and I'm going to see what happens in January before having a meltdown about the odd bad decision.

 

Wilson can't play 90 mins each game. His time needs managing especially to mitigate injury. At some point he has to come off and be replaced. Who on earth are the viable options? We clearly can't count on Fullkrug. Marshall is obviously willing but just not capable at this point in time.

You're hard work.. Of course he can when in 1 game his tactics/subs worked just fine and clearly wasn't a mistake getting the desired result/performance and this time he berked it right up dropping 2 points needlessly, Condescending Scum.

So let me get this right, when he put us defensive to early against Newcastle and got away with it, its ok, when he does it against Bournemouth and didn't (as I stated after the Newcastle game) it's not.

You're a fucking idiot. 

 

No, you're struggling to get your head around the two different games which is understandable for such a thicko like yourself. Laughable to compare the both. 

A re-cap:

3-1

15 shots against Newcastle 

38% possession

231 passes

7 corners

-----

2-2 (Wilson scoring both 1st half)

3 shots against Bournemouth 

24% possession 

119 passes

2 corners

In the Newcastle game he got his tactics and substitutions right whereas this time he didn't trying to win. Would you prefer it all in crayons as well, thicko?

Conveniently ignoring the times that Potter got praised by fans for getting it right with the win at Forest, Nuno's draw at Everton, as well as Nuno's wins against both Newcastle and Burnley. 

There are many things you can say about West Ham supporters but one of them isn't a lack of consistancy.

Win - moan
Lose - moan
Draw - moan

Never change please.

All 3 managers have picked sides no supporter of the club would have ever chosen.  That rings alarm bells for me.

And Moyes as well. I can't understand it, surely they rewatch the matches afterwards and think "yes, I can see what went wrong there, it was a shit decision, shit sub, bad signing etc etc" but they don't, they're all fucking idiots. Anyone off the street could do a better job.
