Match Day Thread West Ham v Saints, Saturday 29th Feb 2020, 3pm

[Archers Road]

Yeah we lose today and he's got questions to answer about the line up.

And if we win?

 

[Saintmagic]

And if we win?

He’s awesome, no middle ground

And if we win?

Then he's a genius.

Ings on the bench.

Ings has been injured this week. Only trained on Friday.

Let's have some pics from those at the ground @Archers Road @tomw24

Fair to say that Noble will want to kick Smallbone off the park.

Risky from Ralph.

Yep agreed. Best I can say about Noble is he’s very experienced & will use every trick in book to gain advantage today. As you say, very risky. Smallbone did really well last week but vs Noble, difficult. And 2x RB’s on bench!? That’s just plain weird. Hope we’re not getting back the rather confusing Ralph from start of season.

Ings has been injured this week. Only trained on Friday.

That's no excuse he should be in the team.

We're starting without Redmond, Djenepo and Ings and no recognised right back. But it's only West Ham.

We're taking the piss, we're taking the piiiiiiiiiss
We are Southampton, we're taking the piss

Ralph has been reading this thread and knows that no matter what he does, we’ll win. Positivity trumps formations.

 

[San Tejón]

Risky putting Smallbone in against a physical team like this, but excited to see how he copes, but also disappointed that JWP isn’t in the midfield.

Danny has never scored against West Ham. Time to change that.

Hassenhuttl took that a different way...

No point in trying to physically match West Ham. JWP has been great at right-back. better to be solid and hope to hit them on the break. Fingers crossed.

And if we win?

I will be absolutely bloody amazed!!!!!!

we’re not physically strong and I think they will be fired up from playing well but narrowly loosing against Liverpool. I predict 3-0 to them

Negativity on the positively positive thread naughty boy on the step!!

 

[Big Ern]

Very attacking line-up from Moyes, Haller and Antonio linked up well when they played upfront together. I'd be optimistic except I'm a West Ham fan and optimism is death.

Ok only 2-0

Totally agree. Spam have the jinx on us at the moment.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Hope Armstrong is ok.

 

[ihatemyselfandwanttodie]

Should that not have been a card? He smashed into him with his forearm?

 

[oldstocktonsaint]

West Ham getting their retaliation in first. A reducer in old money.
