i’ll second that dibberdownunder, he can be a lazy, waste of space on so many occasions but he really didn’t have a bad game at all, especially in comparison to upson and ginger pele who got haunted by defoe. It is also frustrating when people like chris spend more time on their backsides, in their armchairs, than on the terraces, spelling specsavers phonetically and then thinking that its only a matter of time until MOTD calls them up as a pundit. Ho hum.

Sears and Bellars are both pace players and look to me as if they need to play on the shoulder of the defenders. Unfortunately we do not have a target man in Cole who can firstly hold the ball up and secondly find a pass to either of these two. Our midfield had plenty of bite on Saturday with Behrami and Parker but their final ball was appalling. Collison looks like a good player and should be perservered with as he may be our only hope of some invention in midfield. Without Ashtons intelligence upfront, i feel that Bellars and Sears will be inaffective as they have little or no service.

Iain,

Please get off Neill’s back. Not sure which game you were watching or at but your punishment of him was way off.

Even when he went to left back he did his job well.

You seem to have it in for Lucas Neill and I don’t know why!

I get what you mean Chris, but it’s no use just giving up from now until then. It’s not only us who are slogging it out in the bottom half of the table. We as fans have to get behind the manager and the team, and keep the confidence up, otherwise this will affect team etc. And as you said which many on sites haven’t…lets see what what Tristan can do. Only problem I think is the for5mation, its not suited to the current squad. Lets just see what happens. We’ve been through worse than this…after all, we are West Ham.

Think we have big problems looming! Our strikers can’t hit a barn door with a banjo!

We need a brain in midfield and an eye for goal upfront. Hope Dyer is fit soon he could give us that bit of creativity maybe. Agree with Chris hope Tristan can do it coz the others can’t. Seriously think the best thing for Freddie would be a couple of months out on loan with Bournemouth or someone!

Really do fear for us. Have already heard that infamous “we are to good to go down” comment!

Hi Ian, just wanted to say I’m a season ticket holder in the Doc. Martens lower and didn’t know whether you fancied meeting up sometime before the game for a pint and a natter as I too love the Hammers and also the political side of things. Give us a shout if you fancy, would be really nice to hear from you.

Also, as for this week’s game, I thought that Illunga was excellent, such an athlete and soooo pacey! thought Neill was particularly solid at the back, thought Behrami and Green were awesome, and thought that Bellamy had a mare. 50,000 quid down the pan on him for the last 3/4 weeks, miss Ashton in the team so much, Ethers too, you simply cannot justify not starting the lad when he’s the most dangerous player we have at our disposal, taking people on and hitting the byline – draw most definitely a fair result.
