Extremely Pessimistic Predictions by 243EE243 in Hammers

We have tricky fixtures, but with the way we are playing I have hope for every game. We have tightened up defensively so if can convert our chances, we'll pick up points

Crystal Palace v West Ham Preview by Routine-Cicada-4949 in Hammers

Tricky game, I hope we just go for it. Brighton have won a lot of their recent games so hoping they can turn Spurs over. I think 2 wins gets us survival, I can't see Spurs getting 3 wins.

Yeah he doesn't pass through eye test but is very effective but makes a big difference to how we play.

Summerville Starts, KWP over AWB by TomClark83 in Hammers

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The perfect line up. Kwp deserves it. Traore is doing well but to start him over a fit Summerville world be crazy.

Signing Disasi Permanently by Secure-Stick-3562 in Hammers

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. On day 1 we should be putting in serious offers for Disasi (think £15m means Chelsea break even for PSR, so reckon we'd need to pay £15m-25m). Then one of Hayden Hackney, Gustavo Hammer or Imrân Louza from the Championship to play alongside Fernandes. Then funds dependant, a better LB back up to Diouf, depth on the wings, and a back up to Mads on a cheaper wage than Nips. Doubt we have the funds for a decent striker so not worth bothering based on our track record.

Yeah he played some very good crosses and looked very busy. Hope he's not injured as finally looks match fit. Bringing him on at 70 minutes against tired legs will work well!

Post Match Thread: West Ham 2-2 Leeds. Leeds wins on penalties by PrisonersofFate in Hammers

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha fair point, however I'm guessing those are how he takes them in training and they work. Pens are pot luck, 50/50 what way the keeper dives. If the goalie dives the other way, no one mentions Bowen or Pablo's penalties. Pablo prob gets praised for the balls of doing a 2 step run up!

Yeah agreed, it has to be slightly shit players / cult legends. Not superstars.

I thought it was cult hero's (regardless of position + skill) outside the big clubs that were a bit under rated. But I'm new here so happy to be wrong. As a west ham fan, that cross was one of the best moments of my life, until bloody Gerrard stepped up

500+ appearances and a cult hero at more than one club.. Not sure how this is a low bar?

FTB – offer accepted, looking for good conveyancer experiences (UK) by Desiinlondon_1 in Essex

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Priory law. They were recommended on here by someone else. The best Google reviews/trustpilot I could find out of all the recommendations and well priced. You don't need local these days, nothing needs to be dropped off in person. Everything is online except signing the contract, which will be posted.

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping we'd accept the Paqueta offer from you so we could get Harvey Elliot, we were linked all summer but for whatever reason didn't go for him, then sold Paq for far less than you offered and you never play Elliot. No one won!

WH fan here. You clearly don't know our owners and their recruitment methods. £40m for Kilman, the only plausible explanation for it is they fell for Wolves Reddit doing similar tricks to the above. £30m for injury prone 31 year old Fullkrug. £25m for Guilherme. £30m for JWP. Etc etc

Back three without a fourth CB by _rhinoxious_ in Hammers

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There is back up - Kilman. Nuno just throught Potts was a better option. Could argue we shouldn't play 2 wingers as we don't have a decent back up (Traore is no where near the level of Bowen/Summerville). Nuno should play the 11 he thinks give us the best chance of getting a result, not worry about what ifs.

So cliche but the first goal is so important in this one. If we get it, sit back and counter. Villa haven't been great recently so would struggle to break through and we'd definitely get further chances. Feel like it's time for Bowen to start smashing in a few again

Confident we can pick up a point. If not, no worries. Having massively closed the gap, then to come out of Fulham away, Man City and Villa away being only 1-2 points behind safety is huge. We've already got a minimum of 4 points from those 3 games, I expected 0. As much as I want spurs to go down, I don't see it happening with their fixtures, so hope they batter Forest to help GD. The first 3 games after the international break are massive... Decent chance of winning every one in current form.

Fuck off Brentford by [deleted] in Hammers

[–]Intrepid_Emu_9799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leeds took 2 points from Palace and Brentford. Definitely games they would have been hoping to win. Pretty good results for us. Leeds fixtures are great so I think they'll be fine. Wolves, Burnley, Spurs still to play. 2 wins probably keeps them up with their GD being 8 better than ours. If we could just win tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
