West Ham V Dirty Lids

Agreed , if we cant stuff those 5 home and away then we dont deserve to go up striaght away . Middlesbrough 1 birmigham 1 , puts us out of the top 6

Got to say I was not to happy with our display today.

Defence seems ok and when we got the ball into their area we caused problems however our midfield was terrible.
Collinson standing around like a spare at a party and Noble doing his best to bugger thing up. I don’t understand why we play Nolan up front with Cole. Why not have two forward and put Nolan into centre midfield with Parker. Taylor on the left and Faubert on the right.

You can forget about this present lot going up. We need some new players at this club.

dont really know what to say about colly n noble , colly was non existant, noble was in headless chicken mode
we do need a balance there and i dont think Sam quite know the best yet, i would have the mexican on the right , ditch Ilunga and bring in Linda
play parker behind nolan

green
obiren, reid( will come good) Tompka, Linda
..............Parker.............noble
...Barrera..............................taylor
................nolan
.........................Carew


allows us to go foward quick


............reid( will come good) Tompka,

O'brien..............................................Linda
...............................noble
...Barrera.........Parker.....................taylor
................nolan
.........................Carew


however get a nippy little sriker in and our formation can change , more ideas, keep the opposition back line under pressure... we dont have that

Thanks for the game, a good result for us and we'll take it. Look forward to the return match at Elland Road. I thought Parker was awesome, he's class. You walked through our midfield a bit too easy but apart from that we matched you and brought the game to you.

Good luck for the rest of the season

Same to you mightywhite . It was a good game to watch , I thought we could of done better , bit disappointed with the ref and some of his decisions but I suppose this is something we will have to live with in the cocopops

Agreed.....Good luck to you's too, except for when we come up to Elland Road of course.....It will be interesting to see how that one pans out

also thought the ref was shit, first half , 2 clear pens, lids defender wanted to take tomka's washing home , Cole had a clear pen. Parkers tackle in the box should have been a pen, the tackle on Parker in the first half was at the very least a yellow if not red. and thats not to mention the non game changing efforts the ref made a total hash of

There were several occasions where the ball had very clearly and obviously come off a Leeds player and he awarded the throw-in / corner to Leeds. Every time that little shit fell over he awarded a free kick to Leeds. A Leeds player ran into Carew, bounced off him and fell to the floor, he got the free kick!! Had a Leeds player wrenched off Parkers arm and beaten him to death with the soggy end I am sure it would have been the Leeds player who got the free kick and Parker the red card!!!

I've got to agree with you guy's, the ref was shit and one of the worst I have seen.
I hope they ar not all like him in this league.
I think he was putting our players off.

Ripping our Players off , is more like it Chas

I think that ref was in the prem last season, not sure if he has been relegated with us or not. Sam a bit of a pop at him in his interview after he also said we didnt run the clock down.

It will be interesting to see who Sam puts out against Aldershot id like to see

Green

O'Brien Faye Reid McCartney

Faubert Noble Collison Barrera

Sears Cole

Subs : Boffin Tomkins Nolan Stanislas Piquionne

Good idea dude , rest Tomkins , give Linda a chance , I'm sure he can do better than Illunga has done the last few games Plus Berrera needs to show what he can do in midfield and there's no need to Play Noble , Parker and Nolan , they seem to be working against each other , Parker is leading over Nolan and not giving him a chance and Parker seems to be out the door soon anyway

Looks a fair side on paper, and should wipe the floor with the shots, make Geeze totally riht about our midfield, two many of the same sort of player. Collison needs to find his form pdq or he may be sitting about, espeically if barreara has a good game on Weds.

I cannot see Green playing. Boffin needs playing time. As does Stech. I would start Stanislas on one wing and Barrera on the other. Give Faubert a run at right back too. Faye, McCartney and Carew also need games to get match fit

Boffin/Stech
Faubert Faye Reid McCartney
Barrera Collison Noble Stanislas
Carew Sears

Subs: Stech/Boffin, Nouble, Hall, Moncur, Piquionne

This I like :cheers:

Like this one even more, BFS needs to move over and let Big Tony take over

Need a defender on the bench with Foobear, Faye and Macca all not match fit. So which of the plethora should we choose......................

My line up would be :
Boffin
Faubert
Faye
Reid
McCartney
Stanislas
Noble(C)
Collison
Barrera
Carew
Piquionne

SUBS:Stech,Tomkins,Taylor,Nolan and Cole

If we MUST have a defender on the bench then put Tomkins there instead of Piquionne or Nouble

Well 1/16th of my predicted squad for tomorrow has come true. George Moncur has announced on Facebook that he is on the bench. Says he is "buzzing" about it ! Good lad

It appears that 7 subs are allowed in the Carling Cup so we can add Tomkins and a.n.other to my previous bench !
