There is life without Dec

Submitted by mcbikeman on

One man cannot make a team no matter how special he is and so like many who feared a battering after hearing he was out of the bindippers game the team managed quite well without him and although we did not win we did alright it actually showed how much we missed having a proper STRIKER who surely would of buried at least one of our chances..by not being there and so not the focus for the whole side we were not overrun and we aquitted ourselves quite well.

Will he stay or will he go? like yourselves i do not have a clue and if he looks at Grealish and just how few games he has played this season for Citeh maybe he will think nope i will give it another year but at the end of the day why worry our Massive club will still be there and new heroes will come to the fore but it is a TEAM sport not a one man band.

Antonio needs Benching

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Totally out of form and giving us nothing right now.....he needs his backside kicking and a few others to Soucek way off it as well but i wonder if Moyes got Dec to sit deep for a game or two whether we would see Soucek come to the fore once more...the one decent game he had of recent times was Watford away when Dec was suspended suddenly we saw the old Soucek so maybe a tweak there could spark things off again...Of course neither of these will happen but its something i think Moyes needs to think about as he continues to fail in getting the team to play as they were earlier this season.

Broken Record

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Struggling for form lost our mojo our season is fizzling out and the manager is at a loss as to how to get a tune out of the players but clearly it is obvious to everyone but Moyes and co if you flog a dead horse for long enough it will fall to its knees and with our wafer thin squad that is what he has done.

I have no problem with Moyes prefering a small squad i don't but where he has fallen down as we all know is in the recruitment area and if you are going to play a season with a small playing staff you have to make sure that those who take to the pitch are looking over there shoulder if they do not perform they get replaced it is that fear that drives players to perform better watching yesterday it was clear no one player was worried unless of course you are Benny or forcandles.....look at the bench yesterday a keeper who Moyes clearly does not fancy young Johnson who we all must be wondering why he didn't start ahead of Fredericks then Diop lets face it one pass last week cannot redeem his dreadful displays this season but if we keep him he clearly needs intensive coaching...Yarma/noble/Kral 3 who will not be playing for us next season..Vlasic now there is a £35million conundrum...followed by a couple of kids Alese/Chesters who unless we were3-0 up would not get there kit dirty.

So the perfect storm this summer of Moyes and the transfer market and having to get a minimum of 8 players in personally i would be amazed if he managed 4......when we announce a new signing it is mainly for the U23's and potential and again nothing wrong with that but when none are blooded(Oko-Flex for the kidderminster game being the perfect example)for one reason or another you do start to worry as to why.

So as fans we wait as our team tumbles to a very respectable 8th in the league by seasons end(hope i am wrong there)what players will we attract?A season where manure/gooners going through transition spuds imploding Leicester going back to where they belong a very big opportunity has been missed by our club but hey we can cross our fingers and hope beyond hope that 2023 is the end of one era and a start of a shiney new one untill then the summer transfer market of 2022 is going to be a difficult time for dithering Dave and his cohorts.

Price Mystery For Euro Tickets

Submitted by nevillenixon on

Very strange that the club sent out text messages yesterday stating that the exclusive 'window' for season ticket holders to buy tickets for Hammers Europa League fixture would end at 11am on feb 18th, howver when we went to but tickets last night, a good 16 hours before the 'deadline' we found that one of our season ticket seats had ALREADY been sold! Apart from feeling mightly miffed that we will probably have some 50/50 scarf wearing tourist next to us, we were made aware the ticket prices were* 'SUBJECT TO CHANGE'.
