I would have done too before Watford's victory at Stoke. "There I saw three unexpected points claimed by the impressive team ethic. They have no stars. Instead, working unselfishly, they are clearly determined to try to survive amidst the Premier League's glamour. "Usually, West Ham are among the also-rans. But look at the table. Think of their superb away wins this season and their Chelsea victory last weekend. "I find both clubs refreshing. I hope to relish this game. No, I don't know who's going to win." please log in to view this image “The most important thing is that we’ve won the respect of other teams in the Premier League. For us that is very important,” Flores said. “Because other teams respect Watford when they come to Vicarage Road they think they can’t give us space on the pitch.“They play differently and change their tactical style. Our idea always remains the same though home or away. There is no difference. We have a team full of soul and that is the most important thing. They have ambition and want to grow. That makes it easier to train any player or team. please log in to view this image West Ham manager Slaven Bilic on Andy Carroll: "His quality, as I said 20 times, was never an issue. When he is fit he is capable of everything. "We are good in the air without Carroll - we have Diafra Sakho and Nikica Jelavic who are good in the air. But with that he is maybe the best in England - definitely when he is fit."If the good balls come in an area where he is, it is almost impossible to mark him." Watford: Watford's tally of one home goal this season is the lowest in the Premier League. Their victory over Stoke City last time out was their first in a Premier League game in the month of October (W1, D4, L6). They have won one of their last four games (D1, L2). Odion Igahalo has been involved in Watford's last seven Premier League goals, scoring five and setting up two. West Ham West Ham have the best away record in the Premier League this season (W4, D1). Their tally of 12 away goals is also a league-high. Twenty points from 10 games represents West Ham's best-ever Premier League start. They are undefeated in their last seven matches (W5, D2), one short of their best-ever Premier League unbeaten run of eight games. Wherever You Are In The World Enjoy The Game
Rather pushed for time, so this will have to do for this match. I see this as a real gauge as to how well we as a team are progressing. A bad result would be a set back to the confidence levels within the team, but a good result could propel us to new heights. As usual if you are going to the game you do not know what you are buying. Let's hope you are happy with your purchase.
Good one Frenchie... and good analysis..... who knows where this one goes.... if we win..... well we look to be midtable quality
Apparently, we've only won 1 of our last 22 league games against them and that was 1-0 away last time in the Prem. Our last home league win against them was 2/4/85, which was 5-0. Definitely wouldn't mind a repeat today.
Hope we can improve our home goal scoring record in this one...and suffer fewer head wounds that in the newspaper report above!
Er, lots of lavish praise for the team and manager from the media recently, and rightly so. However, West Ham are on fire, especially away from home, we can´t buy a goal at home either. Also, West Ham are 3rd, yes 3rd in the league, so they ain´t too shabby. Let´s not get carried away here, I´d take a 1-1. We were playing Yoevil away not so long ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BW _Thanks for the thread OFH!
