West Ham United FC V Hull

Is Amalfitano a west ham player? I thought he was a loanee as he was at WBA last season.
Noble was even worse than Nolan today, and Nolan was totally ineffective.
Rowing had a cracking game once he came to the point of the diamond. Carroll and Valencia seem to be working together better which can only bode well for the rest of the season.
We must do all we can to keep Jenkinson and song, Reid is another we need but it looks like a lost cause.
Onwards and upwards !!

Rowing ? Downing!!!

Noble's game was illustrated by one of his early contributions...

gave the ball away and then ran after it with a sliding two footed tackle that was never going to connect with anything other than the opponent who he'd 'passed' the ball to... and right in front of the Ref... only 20 minutes in and we could have been down to ten men if Noble's "challenge" had been any more poorly timed or thought out...


Nolan's game was illustrated by one of his last contributions...

was anonymous for pretty much the whole game and then is denied a goal from a ridiculous angle only because it clipped the crossbar...

I know Nolan (can be) my kind of battling midfield general and Noble is a born and bred Hammer... but we need better than both of these going forward.


It's very heartening to see Carroll playing well alongside Valencia and also seeing him on the pitch when we're not just slogging long balls forward for him to head down to no one...

As I, and everyone else, keeps saying... we need Sakho and Kayoute back and we need to keep hold of Song and Jenkinson.

There's an edit button Motty !

Yes he is Mr West Ham, Yes he is one of ours and yes he gets around the pitch but what he does getting around the pitch is ineffectual and has a negative effect on the team and not prem standard and I hate to say it but Noble's days look numbered for us.
If we start with Noble and Nolan against better sides than Hull we will get beaten even though there are goals in us.

We were much better in the second half with out Noble, the improved Song who was off the pace in the first half and reverting to "The Diamond "with Downing at the pinnacle

We need to get rid of the dead wood that is Nolan, Noble and Jarvis, sign Song and build around the quality we have.

I still cant have Rolladice as our manager but hey he will do for now.

Another 3 points and a great day up with The Dublin Hammers

Yea is a West ham player , We brought him for an undisclosed fee but only signed him on a year deal but it did t say anything about extended etc so as it stands unless he extends his contract with us I think he will be free agent come but I`m sure we will offer him a new contract
