Saints v West Ham build up


Cheese on Toast

Recommended Posts

We could really do with a first point on the road. We were far far better than them last season, but with the dolly up fixtures they have had to start the season their confidence will be higher than ours and that could be important. Hope we don't take the lead too early and give Adkins the opportunity to **** things up with his substitutions again.

Well we're not miles better than them last season... Better, but it was close... Obviously

 

As for Dolly fixtures... Today was one for us and we were utter shyte

It's like the Brighton and Hove Albion away game last season.

 

A lot of their supporters have a 'chips on their shoulders' about us like the Brighton fans so this would be a great ground to get a win in and shut some of them up....we'll lose 3-0.

 

Can't see anymore than a point at the very best at home to Tottenham Hotspur (although unlikely), nothing at Leeds and nothing at West Bromwich Albion.

 

I hate this league and I'm glad I cancelled my Sky subscription before the season started. For once I made the correct choice.

Bad form - Guaranteed to go on indefinitely. If you draw a game you should probably have won, you will definitely lose the next one. Every defeat is guaranteed to be followed by another defeat in the next game.

 

Good form - Will always come to an end in the next game. When you do lose a game, this is proof you have f**ked up your good form.

 

We have a 2 week break to do our homework and get keey players like Morgan, Gaston and Clyne fit. No reason we can't get a result here, if we can stop them playing it into Diame and Carroll we have a chance. West Ham haven't been anything special yet this year. There is no reason we should be more scared of Carroll and Diame than they are of Lambert, Gaston, Puncheon and Lallana.

I do believe that someone has just hit the nail, directly on the swede

I think we've got more to worry them than they have to worry us. Hooiveld is in bad form but hopefully the management show him videos of his performances against the Hammers home and away last season if he has to play again. I think we can beat them. 2-1 away win. COYR

I would be surprised if any West Ham fans give us a moments thought to be honest.

In my opinion..... Obviously

 

Blimey. Rather defeatist of you TDD. It clearly won't be at all easy, but if we've got all our players back then I think we'll have a real chance. We'll be odds on to lose, and I agree I'd probably tip us for a defeat, but by the same token I wouldn't be too surprised to see us come away with anything if we can hit some form and get the defence sorted out, even if just for one bloody game (although our goals against average came down from 3 goals per game to 2.86 goals per game; result............)

Yeah it is defeatist

 

I think adkins is not up to it... Seeing the same mistakes over and over from him and the team

 

 

And I am not just talking about individual errors

 

We went to West Ham earlier this year and were the better team and took it too them with 10 men (I think)

 

We are just woeful at the back and seem to have lost lots of defensive discipline

Will you still think he's not up to it, if we finish mid table?

 

Last time I checked the premier league played 38 games not 7...

If we do, then great... I will have been wrong

 

I have seen nothing to suggest that... We have win 2 halves of football this season and look absolutely terrible at the back

 

If we were playing us.. I would expect 3 points home or away.

 

There is simply no excuse for the constant openness when it is costing us so dear

Can't see us getting anything out of this one tbh. They're nothing special, but they're very physical and will use those tactics to bully us out the game. Need to stop supply from Jarvis and have to keep Carroll away from the ball as much as possible. But I expect he's thinking that if he could choose anyone to play next to score against, it would be us as we're dodgy in defence.

According to the Beeb, Vaz Te is out.

 

Yeah, out for about 12 weeks +. Bad injury to his shoulder.

 

Matt Taylor will come in and did a decent job though. They're a well drilled outfit, well suited to being a mid-table PL team. They're beatable, but we'll need our best players available and we'll need to learn how to defend high balls between now and the 20th.

Have a few West Ham supporting mates coming over to watch this one... Could be a long night for me Im afraid ( I hope I'm wrong ) - Just dont feel we will get anything out of this game.

 

Here's hoping we get it all together and get our first away win (points ) of the season.

Not sure about Clyne against Carol Clarkster. He is a bit like rickey in that he drifts wide every so often so ends up with a header against a full back. There is a chance Clyne might get lost in his ponytail and never seen again.

 

This won't be a popular choice after Sunday but I would play Jos. Jos is pretty bad against skilful quick players but against carol I'd probably our best shot. He'd be well up for that battle as well.

I thought Spiderman plugged the leaks well in central midfield against Fulham which caused us so many problem against Everton. We look dodgy whenever the opposition attacks with an overlap down either wing - with the possibility of balls being crossed into Carrol from deep wide positions this will be a big worry. Let's hope Nigel works on the defence in the next days and hope Clyne returns. going forward I really think we cna cause Wet Ham problems, I like the look of Jrod tbh and think we have enough even without Ramirez. If we can keep a clean sheet I reckon we will win but tbh theres not much chance of that! Would Love for Lee and Cork to be involved. O and they f*** hate Lambert so its a given he will score against them.

I think we have a better shot away from home. At SMS they will park the bus lump balls into the channel and probably nick it with a set piece, at home they have to be a bot more positive and I think they will give space to the likes of Lallana and Lambert. Their defence isn't great but it hasn't been tested that much, they were shocking against Swansea, beaten comfortably by Arsenal at home, and also lost 4-1 in the league cup to Wigan at home. If we play our game and get at them we will score goals, just have to do the 'dirty' stuff well, get to the second balls, clear those crosses and subdue Carroll.
