Turkish Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Hate to say it but big sam does get his teams looking solid and organised, West Ham should easily enough stay up this year. QPR on the other hand look dreadfull... Cant wait to play them! According to a lot on here he's a sh*t manager without a clue.thats what we were told all of last season.

Lighthouse Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 And 11 points from 6 games is pretty impressive. It's a decent return but look at who they've played.

That is almost 2 points a game, no easy games the premier league, to stay up by beating the teams around you and winning the games you should win, which they are doing.

Saint Garrett Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 I think we're better than West Ham. Despite this they're probably more effective at the moment. Lumping long balls in and feeding off the scraps. They've also got the strength in the middle to grind out results and break up play.

Lumping long balls in and feeding off the scraps. They've also got the strength in the middle to grind out results and break up play. Still wouldn't be surprised if they're down there come the end of the season We'll find out very soon how we match up against them. As much as they may get criticised for the way they play, Sam has got them set up brilliantly, and they're tough to beat (as evidenced by their keeping three clean sheets so far). And if Andy Carroll is back on form by the time we play them he'll run riot against Fonte or Yoshi; wouldn't be surprised of Hooiveld gets a game to combat the aerial challenge.

Lighthouse Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Fulham, Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea all finished midtable last season and Villa and QPR will probably be relegation rivals, you stay up by getting results in games like these, which they are doing. Norwich have made a dreadful start to the season. Swansea can't score and were comfortably beaten by Villa, Stoke and Everton (at home unlike us). QPR and Villa have looked pretty poor to me aswell. Sunderland have been grinding out points but haven't been anything special. Fulham have always been suspect away from home and didn't turn up to Upton Park. Yes, they are good results. If we had those results from those fixtures I'd be happy. However I wouldn't be so sure of staying up just because we'd won 3 of the easiest fixtures of the season. Well... Lets see how we get on against that lot shall we? We could lose all 6 of them, that would only dictate how good we are. If we go to Loftus Rd and get spanked 8-0 it doesn't make West Ham's performance tonight any better. All I'm saying is our easiest fixture so far has probably been their second hardest (Villa at home) after Swansea. Making comparisons between Saints/Wham/Adkins/BFS/Cortese/Geoff Hurst/Jermaine Wright/whatever is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 According to a lot on here he's a sh*t manager without a clue.thats what we were told all of last season. not sh1t, just nothing special, as said last season..we will finish above them. Think he did the job last year - but with players he had, and then signings - he was lucky to scrape through and keep his job. signing numerous "star forwards" saying how wouldn't be interested in Sharp as has Maynard (who??) then saying all his squad was missing was Lambert - a league 1 £1m forward! No, don't rate him, didn't 12 months ago and he looks worse year later. NA any day please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 (edited) IWhat are you about? That is almost 2 points a game, no easy games the premier league, to stay up by beating the teams around you and winning the games you should win, which they are doing. Would you rather be in their position or ours? theirs. I backed big Sam, even if I don't like him. Thought he did a good job there to get them up (that's what was required and that's what he achieved under tremendous pressure) even if the style of football, if what we saw at SMS was anything to go by, was ****ing terrible and everything Sam claims he doesn't serve up. I also rate Poyet. Edited 1 October, 2012 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
