    I don't think it's time to give up on him just yet and certainly the management staff haven't, but it is definitely at a point where we need to take some pressure off him to deliver and sign an extra striker. For the benefit of him and the team. I really hope he can pull through though.

    The most shocking thing isn't even his growth as a player...it's that he's apparently the most lethal header of the ball in English football. 11 of his 13 goals with West Ham have been via his head, including all five this year; no one in the PL has scored more over that time frame.

    That's quite impressive, the thought of him up against Cedric is not a pretty one.

    We need to exploit the lack of experience and fitness of the West Ham full-backs, so please have some width!

    If the staff have done their, not too difficult, homework then we might see Cuco playing.

    For sure, and from what I've seen so far he deserves a place on merit anyway. He did have full games against Palace and Sparta though so who knows with the rotation policy?

    Did Jay have injury problems before the Man City knee thing?

    As for West Ham, I hope that their lack of full backs will mean Antonio in the back four.

    I assume that includes the first one, where Wanyama blasted it directly at his face on the floor and it looped in. If that never happened I'm convinced he would never have stayed in the team.

    Who Martina or Cedric? Cedric has started all the league games up to now.

    Put my usual scorecast bet on...VVD to score the last goal and Saints to win 2-1 @125/1 for this match.

    Yeah, i'd like to see Cuco in for this one, but then i'm not Cedric's biggest fan anyway.

    Yes he is LTL, but that's not going to stop me disliking them. Please don't throw any more decent hammer names at me, I like holding grudges. :emoticon-0100-smile
