IT’S MAAAAAAATCHDAAAAAAYYYYYY!!
After another utterly pointless international break, the real, serious football is back.
We find ourselves in a difficult situation. Results have been very poor for a while now, and even though performances have been a little better than the points we’ve got, it doesn’t exactly feel like we’re on the verge of going on a great run. Views on the manager range from “he’s the new Dean Saunders” (very unfair personally) to “he’s been very unlucky and needs more time” (a little bit generous for me). Whatever your views, you can’t ignore that something will have to change soon.
West Ham are also in a poor space right now. Like us they recruited quality in the summer but for whatever reason results haven’t followed. I actually like Moyes as a manager and I do think they will come good, but on paper it’s not a terrible time to play them. You wouldn’t imagine they’re bouncing with confidence, and especially at their home ground if things don’t go their way the atmosphere could be interesting.
We will miss Collins for the next three games for sure, it will be telling who comes in. For me it would be Toti, but I wouldn’t be against Mosquera starting so we can keep Kilman on the left. Rumours of Jonny at centre back don’t fill me with confidence! I’d hope for a line-up of:
Sa
Semedo Kilman Toti Ait-Nouri
Nunes Neves Traore (B)
Podence Costa Guedes
Semedo Kilman Toti Ait-Nouri
Nunes Neves Traore (B)
Podence Costa Guedes
Yep, that’s Diego! He should be involved today and it will be very interesting to see just what impact he has on the team. Having an out and out centre forward on the pitch should help us and if we can get anything like the Chelsea version of Costa, then we’re good to go.
Whether you’re following from London, Wolverhampton or anywhere in the world, enjoy the game and let’s get those three points lads!
COYW!
