Be interesting to see the Prem dregs in action - Wolves v Wet Spam. Both teams we could be competing against next season. Might even be a few players we’re competing against next week.
Update: 4 mins - WW 1 WHU 0 🤣 Update: 30 mins - WW 2 WHU 0 🤣🤣
Agree with Terry there. I stayed in the pub (self-medicating after the Canaries debacle) and watched the Sunderland Man City game and it was absorbing. Great to see a recently unfancied Championship team holding their own in the Premier League - imagine that.
For me Dorse, Michi’s best performance was in the last 15 minutes of the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. Played to his strengths - perfect use of impact cyclops (give or take an eye)
I used to go to West Ham a lot when I was a kid having relatives in the area. In fact Upton Park was the first league ground I visited. I never once heard it called the Boleyn Ground. When did that start?
Another great AFCON group game finished. Mozambique 3 Gabon 2. Very impressed with the Mozambique keeper Ernan Siluane, 27 years old and 27 international caps. 6ft 1. Confident control of his area. Good at collecting crosses. Great anticipation. Good shot-stopper. Decent distribution. Ticking all the goalkeepery boxes. So far played all his club football in Maputo. Conceded two today but Mozambique under the cosh for most of the second half as they defended their lead. Previous game kept a rampant Côte d'Ivoire down to just one goal. If any one at QPR is reading this, this scouting report is free. Next one includes a fee, add-ons and a percentage of any signing-on fee.
If you managed 16 pages of that you are now ready for the next challenge. 145 (!) pages of the relegation thread on football’s most unfortunate web address …
West Ham, in the jaws of a relegation battle and with that massive six-pointer versus Forest the Tuesday before the Cup game, will almost certainly play a second string XI against us.
I’ve looked at the names on the West Ham bench recently and have come up with this:
Hermansen (25)
Mayers (18) Golambeckis (18) Mavropanos (28) Julio (27)
Kante (20) Earthy (21) Rodriguez (31) Irving (25)
Fullkrug (32) Marshall (21)
There’s only one name I know there, the old German forward and he’s currently not fit. The gulf between Premiership and Championship widens every season but still I’ve no idea if these West Ham squad players are any good. Btw: I am not at all suggesting we play a weakened side. We should go for it - hell for leather - an away win in the Cup in a London derby against old foes will be a day to remember and a massive confidence boost for everyone.
