If no-one else will...

You could be lumbered with this Job Leslie.

Not sure of Reid at LB. Could move Taylor there and push Faye forward.

Well done Sir Leslie, would like to see Berrera asap.

 

I think Barrera or Stanislas will start. And i hope we dont just play one forward again.

 

We really must go for this today. Doncaster have injuries galore and should be weakened as a result. We must get our season up and running properly and only a win will do here. 3-1 to the Irons.

 

Come on you Irons!

 

West Ham United: Green, O'Brien, Tomkins, Reid, Ilunga, Nolan, Parker, Noble, Collison, Taylor, Piquionne

 

I'd still go with Illunga at LB with Reid CB with Tomkins. Illunga didn't do that badly overall against Cardiff. Plus i'd rather go with a proper left back that knows the position then a CB, Reid, who needs to get used to get a good understanding at CB and with Tomkins. Then when McCartney is availiable he'll be first choice. But Taylor can obviously fit in at LB if Illunga does really poor, which i don't think he will.

Doncaster have lots of injuries and are not as good as Cardiff (still a tricky game though) so we should be able to have more men forward like Nolan and Collison as a second stiker, possibly, so he can do what he done at Newcastle and play of the main striker.

 

Where to watch the game online? Without them being in the premier league free streams will be almost non-existent.

 

By bringing in Collison for Sears it may free up Nolan to play further forward.
Still prefer to see Cole instead of Piqui though.

 

Unless anyone's got a good video stream Radio London 94.9

Thanks. Could not find it.

 

Goal! Nolan!

 

Nolan!!!

Come on you irons!

On a different note, Kieron Dyer is injured. How long did that take?

 

Broken toe. Mmmmmm

 

Doesnt sound like particularly good play is going on.

 

It has not sounded too pretty and I missed the goal but we are up so that is good. What does Big Sam do for the second half?

 

Further afield, Gabbs scores an OG, QPR 3 down at home to Bolton.

 

We still need two forwards. This bunch is useless.

 

Wish we could get a second that would make these last couple of minutes better.

Full time!

Hammers win!

 

Well that's a win. Made hard work of it but I'll take 3 points all day long.

 

Is there now a thread starter crisis?

 

How did you get to that radio link?

 

Good win. 3 points is all that matters, especially at the start of the season. We got a win when not playing great so after a few more games we should start to play better and score more goals. Let's not get on their backs just yet just because they didn't score loads of goals in only the second game.

We can't forget the team was, well is, in a mess and the mentality of the players isn't great. Overall it's a very strong squad in the championship. After some more games we should be more dominant in games. But there are going to be alot of scrappy games this season, especially when injuries, suspensions kick in. And Big Sam is the guy to get results out of them games, like tough away trips to Leeds, Forest, Cardiff, Millwall etc. Differance between us and alot of the other teams is we have alot of quality in our team, with loads of premier league experience. Main thing is we get the 3 points and keep on improving every game.
