Jose isn't ruled out either. All that article says is he won't play him just because he scored against em last season.

That's perfectly sound thinking, though I think there actually IS a case for playing him just because of what he did (twice) against them last season. If they are a little overly worried about him, and choose to double-up, that can only be good news for Knockaert and others.

(Theory only works if anyone playing or coaching even remembers last years' games. they've had quite a turnover!)

First game of the season for me tonight. last season I attended 2 home wins, so I expect my 100% record to continue. They might be in form, the whammers, but I feel we're in the mood to go about some brutal business.

I'm looking forward to the 's that start the regular Early Leavers thread or the Ref was (not very good) £$%@ thread.

Hmmm, Friday night games.
Bloody great if we win and can take it easy for the Saturday games, but a long 'orrid weekend if we lose.

I just don't have a good feeling for the game tonight. I'll take a point right now.

The Moose, Talksports expert analyst and commentator, reckons a comfortable West Ham win tonight unless he said we raise our game as we often do when the big boys come to the Amex.

As apposed to the Eagles tune Peaceful Easy Feeling, I've got a bad case of the frenetic un-easy feeling's... I think we're hitting the end of the road for the favoured Hughton XI, tonight (or as a result of tonight, yes that's better...) will see the end of one or two players' runs in the team... I can feel a big defeat coming on.

This might (as alluded to), however, signal the turning of the tide, and certain 'new' arrivals might finally be given a genuine chance to shine, in genuinely winnable matches to come.

Obviously I'd love to be wrong here, but I sure don't feel too 'hot' right now :/

Time for Jahanbakhsh to come into the team. Bong and March are too low quality, get Bernardo and Alireza into the team and let's see why we spent the money.

Time to shake it up and give some of the new singings a chance, any of those dropped can't say they haven't had a chance to shine

It's Friday, I've had a hard week at work and I'm just going to enjoy this for what it is. West Ham are our bunnies. We battered them twice last season. I'm not expecting a repeat but all those saying we've got no chance need to bear that in mind

I just want to see us go on the front foot from the beginning and take the game to West Ham. I just about get why we showed Spurs so much respect but at home we have to use that first half to do as much damage as we can.

To be fair we were fairly high tempo in the first 25 mins or so against Fulham so I can't see why tonight would be any different. It's one of our "winnable" games, if such a thing exists.

I do not think that there will or should be any changes with the starting XI unless Stephens is fit and he will come back in . If not possibly same team as against City but Murray back for Locadia and possibly Andone on the bench.

The change I would like to see is in our approach and mindset so that rather than we go out fearing West Ham we are at home so they fear us.
