West Ham (H) Carabao Cup 26/08: Build Up & Match Thread

[YoungWolf]

Did Iwelumo and Maierhofer ever play together?

Closest I can find it Iwelumo coming on for Maierhofer in the infamous Man Utd away game

 

[Kenny]

Maierhofer's neck on its own is probably our tallest strike force ever.

 

[sycophantia]

Good to win but by god we’ve got some serious issues.

Fuck that, we've won and certainly on the stats (yeah, I know) we deserved it.
Hopefully that gives us some confidence and lifts a bit of the doom and gloom.
Mostly I'm delighted because my grandson got to see 5 goals and a Wolves win on his 'debut', gutted I wasn't there with him.

Bowen trying to hop the hoardings to confront the West Ham fans.

I don’t want either Hwang or Sasa starting in the PL, but if one has to come off the bench, it’s Sasa 10 times out of 10.

£42 to watch the reserves. Remember that night very well, trains were a nightmare & Greg Halford was infuriating that night

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Looked a lot better second half. Nice to win, some grounds for hope, but at least as many for concern.

If Sasa can stay anything like fit (a big ask I know) he'd be a real asset, even off the bench.

 

[b3h]

I am down for the double big lad and wingback combo

We could also bring back the dying-out CAM just off them for a cheeky longshot

Compared to Hwang, his hold up play is better, his link play is better, he looks more composed/likely to score, he gets more attention from the defence.

The only problem is he was only on the pitch for 10 minutes and looked shagged at the end.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Some seeds of hope there. We could have the makings of a mid table team if we pick our best players and not Bellegarde and Munetsi.

I like Arias. There’s a player there.

Two awful goals to concede but, fuck it, we scored 3 and had a bit of excitement.

Maybe don’t sell Strand Larsen, Jeff.

Poor old Marshall didn’t even get on the pitch tonight and is catching stray bullets

Maybe the fine was fair...

Did anyone see what happened with André at the end?

Nope. What’s going on?

We probably now have the fastest player in the league. We definitely have the slowest.

He sure looked done it at the end, and not just for effect, like he could barely move!

 

[Lycan]

Nope. What’s going on?

Looked like he stormed off but I couldn't tell because some coked up teenagers were bouncing around in front of me (South Bank early cup games are awful).

The coach was no better. We’d watched a full film by the time we’d made it to the M6. Was a very late night.

Even on the TV coverage some kid with massive ears kept getting in the way of the replays from the SB. Thought someone had gone early with a tin foil cup first time.
