I popped over to the Forest Chat but they was not very talkative , cant understand why . However I did get one response to the few questions I asked

From Mr Smith

I thought seeing as you will be coming to Upton Park next week I would pop in and get your views on the game . I,m just looking for some feedback on how you think the game will go You will destory us who we need to look out for you will have to look out carefully for the entire Forest team for a while it might seem like West Ham aren't playing anybody, but there should be eleven Forest players on the pitch and who you think is our most troublesome player I have no idea who plays for West Ham anymore, needless to say all your players will trouble us, do you think you will stay up this season we're trying very hard to get relegated and have appointed a manager who can deliver relegation and what you think of our chances are of returning to the premiership straight away over the entire season, your promotion is a mere formality . I will post your views on our forum [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and will pop back on after the game to have a bit of friendly banter . I hope you do stay up , best of luck and will be looking forward to game .

I cannot see them scoring TBH

I might regret saying this, but what the hell, it’s never stopped me before. I think we’ll win this game and by a tidy margin.

3-0 to the Cockney Boys

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is hoping his side can take advantage of this weekend's match scheduling to gain a psychological edge in the npower Championship title race.

The Hammers can go three points above current leaders Southampton if they beat struggling Nottingham Forest at Upton Park, with the Saints not in action until Monday night when they host Leicester.

A win for the Londoners will put the pressure on Nigel Adkins' men, and Allardyce admits there will be plenty at stake against Forest.

'The extra spur this week is that if we win we can go top for the first time this season, be it may be only a short stay as Southampton play on Monday,' Allardyce told the official club website.

'Let's make sure we achieve that goal and let's get those very valuable three points again here at Upton Park.'

Allardyce, who has a virtually fully-fit squad again after Matt Taylor and Guy Demel returned to training, will not underestimate Forest but admits they are a team low on confidence and struggling to score.
Return: Matt Taylor is back in training and could make Allardyce's squad

'I have been complaining about our lack of goals but their lack of goals is far greater than ours at the moment,' he added.

'I saw them on Tuesday night in the (FA) Cup (against Leicester) and at half-time it should have been 2-2 - they had two of the best chances of the game and didn't convert them (and ultimately lost 4-0).

'They might have a little bit of a lack of confidence and we have to try to take advantage.'

Mr Smith
Southampton were on a bad run of form and beat us 3-0.
Leicester are abject gash and beat us 4-0.
Looking at the pattern of these results, West Ham will win 5-0.

Redman
Will be a massacre

5-0

waghornliam
Big SAMs teams love A set piece, recipe for a trouncing this one. Don't think we will score either... Gonna go for another 4-0

legs_akimbo

fcuk it show some ambition I go for a real trouncing 6_0

godders

For some reason I've got a good feeling about this one. Call me a blind optimist but I reckon we'll score a goal.

5-1

Leather

Exactly, any team that fancies themselves as quality should be looking to put 6 past us. Any less than that and I'd say they're mediocre.


Gotta feel sorry for them

Yes we will win, but only 2-0

COYI!

I wish I had their enthusiasm for us

4-4-2 and we should get a 2-0

yeah i cant see us getting more than 2. Would love to see a hatful and put us ahead of saints by 3 points and get rid of the goal difference.

Harewood back at Forest now so I just hope he does not get lucky and scores
Think we should win by two goals.

Marlon never could find the goal when he played for us at Upton Park. I will be shocked if he dont this time.
