Having lived in the Smoke since the mid-80s l was wondering what the hell "rusty bike" was, thinking ****ernee slang.....
Lots of Hammers now live in Essex....
Best place for them. Rusty bike used to be zains Indian I am not sure what it was before
My OH and little one, for many and complicated reasons, currently live in Grays. See shedloads on their way to the Irons ....
I'm talking about the 70's although I have been back since when we played the Hammers at Upton Park in the FA Cup.
I honestly don't. The reason we get these chances, is because we invite pressure then break from deep. It would massively change the way we play, in my opinion for the worse.
This is spot on. We do need a back up striker to cover injuries and suspensions but it is the strikers we have who are integral to creating the many chances that we do. We also score a fair few of them, scoring hasn't been an issue this season. We just had a bad night in front of goal last night. Lots of people were calling for Fraser to come on for Cunha, but Cunha's speed, creativity, ability to carry the ball forward, and ability to keep up with the likes of Neto / Hwang is key. Fraser just doesn't have the speed or technical ability to do what Cunha or Neto do. He's learning the game and fine to bring on when we are chasing a game or dominating possession (like Brentford in the cup replay), but not in a situation like last night when we are stretching the game and countering a team who are dominating possession.
Interesting. I didn't think Cunha was that great last night tbh. From memory Neto put 2 or 3 balls right across goal and Cunha hung back where as a predatory no 9 would have stuck them away. I'm going to watch the 2nd half back now so perhaps I'll change my mind!
