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

[booth]

Phew!

[adopted scouser]

They should have equalised at the end then, long 45 minutes to come

[AggyBlue]

We tired the last 5 mins there but managed to hang on.

Great effort in the first half there.

Loved the way all our players were jumping straight up and carrying on playing instead of looking for free kicks.

[Tom]

I don't think I can manage another 45. I can't see us keeping it at 1-0 we just need to for as long as possible to help pick up a point.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

I'll take a draw right now. Decent half but they're going to be throwing the kitchen sink at us in the next 45. JJ having a big game. Emerton should be our first choice RB in my opinion. Hoilett needs to get a bit more involved.

[Exiled_Rover]

Bring Hanley on, but Olsson back on the wing. Go for the jugular

[Hughesy]

Bring Hanley on, but Olsson back on the wing. Go for the jugular

Hanley?? Do that & we lose...he aint ready yet!

[Guest roverite1991]

Bring Hanley on, but Olsson back on the wing. Go for the jugular

2-0 up with 5mins to go and I'll agree.

[Mc Love]

hopefully roverite

Plenty in chatroom discussing match

[Rover Down Under]

That first half was like having the game on double speed, incredible stuff. This second half, starting now, will be very interesting.

[martmitch]

cant keep giving the ball away the game is so compressed in our half

robbie keane on, west hams own jason roberts

[Dan]

Bloody hell Keane. BOUND TO SCORE.

[Brandeburg]

Keane's on, danger, danger, 6 in 14 against us

[bigbrandjohn]

Need to take our chances especially from corners. Not happy with Keane on.

[mattyc2422]

Keane always scores against us. We need a second.

[blue/white]

I have been hampered by a lousy dish transmission all match long!!looking forward to this match all week long, GD!

I 'm liking us a bit more these few minutes -- hope we can start preying on their desperation in the later parts of this half.

Question: has jason roberts donned jonny stead's hero costume???

[novella]

West Ham with 66% possession. We need to get control in midfield. Of course kean doesn't know how to change tactics so going to be a nervy 30 mins here.

[Presty On Tour]

Carlton Cole has been using our box as a swimming pool all afternoon!

[martmitch]

grant throws another striker on - must be able to exploit the counter now

[RibbleValleyRover]

Rovers have been completely dominated since we scored. Can we hang on?

[mattyc2422]

We need to get Diouf off. I'm fearing the arrival of Andrews though.

[novella]

Hoilett is such a good player but he's so ###### greedy. Havent seen him pass yet.

[chris]

we are getting sloppy, foot off gas

[Dan]

We need to start keeping the ball, otherwise the inevitable is going to happen

[mattyc2422]

Andrews and RSC coming on.
