we need 2 wingers (pennant and ethers) and then fuller and carew up top. We need a huge improvement after that awful display against one of the poorest sides in the league who were there to be destroyed today.
west ham will play ba upfront with parker, noble and hitzelsperger in midfield. We need to attack from the start to stop them dominating the midfield with the extra man.
Pulis and the lads owe us a performance on saturday and they need to show to us supporters that we are better than what we have seen today. They need to inspire some confidence with an attacking away display and 3 points for premier league safety to go into the fa cup game.

that my friend will be our undoing a TRUE midfield. With BA, Carlton Cole up front and that midfield after that performance and WHU beating bolton getting out of the bottom I feel we are lambs going to our slaughter. Not a negative nancy usually but come on that was terrrrrible today. Got my rabbits foot out because were gonna need luck.

If it is anything like tonight it will be hoof it and hope. When we switched to these fullbacks I mistakenly thought we would try and keep more possession. But all Pugh did was pass it back and play his CB into trouble. We won't have a prayer against West Ham on the evidence of tonight. Truly dire.

Tactics will be:
Big lad twats it long to big lad, big lad loses that header, big lad in the middle is 2nd to the ball against the smaller lad.
Lets face it, TP wont change this until we are on 40 points, and I repeat it is a shame because we have earned plenty of points this season with decent footy.

Tactics for west ham will be the same as they have been for months! Play for a throw and try score from that

I don't think it matters too much ....if we keep playing as poorly as we have done and if West Ham are on their game they'll muller us !

I fear for Saturday and working with 2 Hammer mates and being related by marriage to another I fear we're in for a hiding if we concede an early goal. I fear we're going to have the damage limitation formation and will playing for a 1-0, 2-0 defeat. Hopefully I'll be way off the mark. I don't know what all the fuss about Ric playing at the moment is as I think his heads gone and he just doesn't look the player he was. I'd go with Carew and Walters up front with Ethers and Pennant out wide.

we played with 2 wingers earlier in the season, we need to revert to that. we absolute shite tonight, and have to see a massive improvement to get anything from free scoring westham. pulis needs to revert to his tactics earlier in the season when we were playing much better.

Will people stop going on about fuller, on tonights effort he clearly either doesn't want be here, or has lost the plot or has not got it physically anymore for top level football.
We all saw tonight why he ain't in the starting line up, and it pains me to say it.

I think we should start with a few players out of position and then hoof it up the pitch to play for throw ins. Then on 65 minutes, whatever the score is, we'll take off our best players and put Rory on the wing.
It works so well every week, why change it.

1. Higgy and Wilko to replace Pugh and Wilson 2. Cut out the tip tap crap we saw in the first half

1. Higgy and Wilko to replace Pugh and Wilson 2. Cut out the tip tap crap we saw in the first half We passed it across the back for 4 or 5 times at most. It then ended up as a hoof. An aimless hoof up to 2 CLUELESS centre forwards. The manager is responsible for that SHITE tonight not a lad playing his 2nd game at right back for the club. Stop shifting the blame on a few players you have it in for and look at the touchline. Pulis hopping and jumping like a buffoon and clueless Kemp not knowing his arse from his elbow. LAZY ARSED MANAGEMENT.

who knows what west ham team will turn Up they might rest some for the FA cup ...there is no chance in hell they will rest anyone due to a coming FA cup game. They dont really care about the cup compared to the league this season because of relegation worry. And yes Hitz, Parker, Noble will control the midfield, Cole/Piquionne and Ba are on fire and will score. As for trying to play for throws, they will move the advertising boards right upto the pitch to stop that.
