Rodders Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 agree there. 2-0 west ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 2, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2009 This for me has the same sort of feeling as that game at St James Park last season. We were doing pretty well, had a midweek game against the Toon with a chance to go 4th and it was sodding awful. Played off the park by those jokers! I hope the result isn't the same this season.

Mr_Dogg Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 It certainly has the potential for a slip up, away from home against a team who are slowly improving and have been unlucky. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 we win we go 4th, simple enough motivation for the lads. True. But a motivation we have bottled more times than we have taken advantage of. Indeed. In our case it seems to be more pressure than motivation.

LatestConfirmedIn Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have no doubt that we will score. There defence is poor, especially with Spector at RB. Tomkins has played too many games for someone of his age. Noble has under performed this season as well. Parker could out run Stan in the midfield. I am worried that Cole could cause problems with Dunne, Cole has been fantastic in the last 12 months. A really interesting game ahead of us, a must not lose as well.

Malachite Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Last 3 results have all been drawn, exception being extra time v Sunderland, IMO we should have taken 3 of Wolves and Everton for that matter obviously cup games can always throw up a surprise, for me this is a must win, we really should set about West Ham and get a good victory and i think Gabby needs to get another or 2 to keep his eye in, all this should be stitched onto a really good performance of solid attacking football that we are well capable of doing.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Without both; Young Sidwell NRC Gardner Albrighton Surely Delph in front of Gardner, Delph at least has a little spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosch1one Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 This for me has the same sort of feeling as that game at St James Park last season. We were doing pretty well, had a midweek game against the Toon with a chance to go 4th and it was sodding awful. Played off the park by those jokers! I hope the result isn't the same this season. When Gabby stank it out!? Missed an open goal (the ball went through his legs as he tried to pass it into the net), then in the second half he ran the length of the pitch and just had to square it to someone for an open goal, but he fell over and scuffed his shot into the side netting trying to shoot IIRC. I absolutely hate players doing this, like Richardson against us. How about when Van Persie rolled it across to Fabregas in their last European game (think it was 1-1 away in Holland), thats what you like to see. Team game.

Hanky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I could also see us losing this unfortunatly. I think a 4-5-1 is needed even if both Gabby and Carew play. If Petrov and Milner are not fit I'd have Delph with Sidwell and NRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undesirable Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 According to the Birmingham Mail Gardner is likely to be ruled out with a groin injury. Milner isn't going to play and Petrov is doubful. If all three are ruled out i really wouldn't be surprised if MON goes 4-4-2 with Young, Gabby, Sidders and Coker in a midfield 4 behind John and Emile. I'd hope he'd go Delph, Sidders, Coker, Young, Albrighton behind Gabby because John and Emile up front are hardly the most mobile front pairing and playing a 4 ma midfield with Gabby on the right will leav us even more exposed than normal in my opinion. 4-5-1 please and give Albrighton a go on the wing.

stato Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Martin O'Neill faces a selection headache ahead of the West Ham game with Habib Beye and Luke Young both pushing for a start as a result of Carlos Cuellar's suspension. The Villa boss must shuffle his pack as a result of the Spaniard's dismissal against Everton. MON said: "We have to make at least one enforced change this week with Carlos missing. "But the idea of having the squad is precisely for these reasons. We have players in the background at this minute who are more than capable of coming through and who are tried and trusted Premier League players. "I know their ability and know what they are capable of doing for us. "Luke had a great, great season for us. He was injured at the start of this campaign. It took an endless amount of time before he was fit and then, of course, he was hit with his family tragedy. Spore "He has had a lot to cope with. But I think he is there now - he's been in the squad on a few occasions. "At the time, we didn't know how long he'd be out for and we took Habib on. He has not complained about not playing and yet I would consider him unlucky not to be in the starting line-up, having played so wonderfully well when we beat Liverpool."

Shillzz Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm almost certain that coker will come straight in for milner, along with young in for carlos. I think we'll stick with 442 and the only question will be over who partners gabby. I think players get picked on merit rather than positions / suitability, which means coker will start before albrighton or delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Note to self, must remember to predict a win before every game we play from now on, regardless of what I feel may happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
