[Archived] West Ham United (away - 7th May)

[Bobby G]

They're missing Upson, Noble and Parker. If we ever had a chance to break our hoodoo there its today.

[ada2020]

He's the best of a bad bunch.

Not the thread to argue it so I'll just say, ok..

[grizfoot]

Happy enough with the line-up to be honest. Be interesting to see if it's 4-4-2 or 4-5-1, I'd side with the 4-5-1 version with Diouf and Holiett asked to support Roberts from the flank. Plenty of attacking options from the bench if need be also.

[Guest roverspogges]

Why are some people getting upset when kean is criticised? He's useless.

[dazmaz]

Chat is still up and running if anyone wants to pop in and chat about the match

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

I'm not knocking Kean, his choice is obviously limited by injuries. However that team is far from ideal. I'm not liking Ollsen at left back either.

And your choice at left back would be......??

[Mercer]

Ready to take back what you said about Hoilett, Miseryman?

Thought not.

Give me a chance to bloody well answer.

Nowhere did I say that he wouldn't play for us again, I said that I would be surprised if he did. I am therefore surprised !!!

Let's hope that he's fully fit. gets through the game and has an impact on it for us !!!

[modes98]

P.Jones is clearly injured, so the logical move is to put Givet at CB and move Olsson to left back.

Not really!

Olsson ripped bolton apart and has been ineffective at LB. Why take away a big threat down the left and weaken the defence. Hanley in would have given us a better attacking threat and kept us secure at the back IMO.

[Tom]

As others have said I'm not a Kean fan but other than the forward there isn't much else he could have done today, had he chose Hanley people would jump on that decision as the lad isn't up to task.

Not confident of a result just hope others go our way.

[brfc4ever]

Kalinic hasn't ever done anything!!! How on earth can people claim that he'd be any more effective than Roberts??

He has scored more goals in less starts ?

[TugaysMarlboro]

Formica on the bench also. Good to see.

[Grabbi Graeme]

We will not have a better chance to beat West Ham with the players they have missing today, Andrews to come off the bench and score the winner and become our saviour.

[JMillZz]

He has scored more goals in less starts ?

THIS is what I like. Intelligent, factual posts as opposed to jargon opinions from the likes of vintageadidas and the guy you responded to.

[Mercer]

Presumably, Formica is on the bench as our owners are there,I think - therefore avoids the awkward question as to where our £3.5m player is !?!?!?

[Mc Love]

Hi all - if anyone is interested in listening to match - you can listen on premier league live on today fm http://media.todayfm.com/live_stream/popup

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Formica was on the bench before.

And what do you mean 'our owners'?

Didn't know Kilby and Flood were coming to watch too.

[Guest roverspogges]

I predict that a wham player will hit the post in the first 20 mins.

Um, wasn't he on the bench last weekend?

[mattyc2422]

Come on lads.

[OJRovers]

Jesus - though that was in!

[Brandeburg]

Good chance from Gamst

[OJRovers]

Good start from Rovers!

[vintageadidas]

The facts don't lie. I cannot argue the point he has scored two more goals in one less start than Diouf.

League 15 5

League 16 3

However, i will not change my opinion that he is well out of his league. I am only surfacing because the "legend status" he seems to have from the BBE is a joke.

Anyways, enough of that - lets get the fingers and toes crossed!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Cleared off the line, West Ham on top.

[Brandeburg]

Samba-Ba 1-0
