West Ham (A) - 27/02/22 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Templeton Peck]

Same for me. Westham are a fairly big team so donk will play

If he can run about a bit and get in the way it'll be worth playing him. About all he can do really.

I just want it put on record. I hate Bowen!

I think he's great............ smashing, super, etc.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think he's great............ smashing, super, etc.

Said we should have signed him 2 years ago. Look at what we could have won?

 

[The Bion]

Can't agree with dropping Podence - as infuriating as he can be he's also our biggest attacking threat at the moment

Can't see Jonny lasting 90 so between that and RAN's stamina issues think we might be limited in terms of our sub options

-edit- welp that sure showed me. Huge game for some of these players, they need to stand up and be counted

 

[The Bear]

Hoever and Marcal at full-back and no Podence or Moutinho.

Bleugh!

[Jinky]

Yeah, all of a sudden I’m a lot less confident.

 

[Nando]

Release the real one please, Wolves.

 

[Del Woppio]

Didn't know the reserves were playing as well today

 

[malta mick]

not feeling at all confident........now !!!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This will either go well or very very badly.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Horrendous team. I take it jonny can’t do 60min. I hope to god I’m wrong but to me we look as weak as piss.

 

[nimrod]

wow, erm that's an interesting line up. good bench

 

[prawnking]

Got to be managing fatigue for Raul, Joao, Pod and RAN, you'd think

 

[The Bion]

At the least if we can keep things tight we have good options to change things. Might well be the plan.

 

[Jinky]

They’re essentially playing a full strength 11.

This is going to be backs to the wall & probably very messy, because half the starting 11 will be rusty as anything.

Appreciate its a quick turn around in games, but this is a massive match for us so that makes the line up even more confusing.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Fuck me can we throw a towel in or something?

 

[Tom Hark]

Absolutely baffled by that selection. Hoping to lull the opposition into a false sense of security? The only straw I can clutch at is that Bruno must know something no one on this forum does (which, to be fair, he should do). At least any surprises during the game today should be pleasant ones.
