In the words of the one and only Mr Ian Dury. Although I much prefer "into the kitchen Mother, the kettles got a hard on, you cant call that dripping it hasn't got no lard on".

Ask yer Grandad kids, anyway I digress.

With 9 games to go and nothing to speak of to play for. I've no doubt that Potter will be experimenting to a certain extent. He's sured up the defence and they all look like a proper unit at last. Todibo if we can get 90 mins out of him, Is the perfect partner for Kilman. Scarles and AWB are excellent wing backs. Although not his best game, Creswell is slotting in nicely at LCB. Although I do expect another upgrade of Potters choosing will come in the window.

Bowen and JWP apart. I think the rest are all auditioning so to speak. I expect Guilhereme to start being included more. As Potter will want to see him before the window opens. In case there is a star in there somewhere. Orford will get more minutes in midfield. He won't be going anywhere and Freddie Potts will return.

Potter is playing the long game. But not gambling or being reckless in his formation choices. I'm certain he has probably already got a good idea of who he wants around. More importantly those he does not.

I'm not getting down on Ferguson or Fulkrug. Potter will know if he wants either or none to stick around for the new season. I suspect we will see new faces. As Potter at last gets the chance to build his squad in his minds eye.

Then we can judge him. As for digging players out now it's pointless and achieves nothing. Its a new era for us and thankfully we are in safe hands it seems...

A summer ahead where we need strikers and we need legs in the middle of the park.. we all know it so does Potter but the cupboards bare is the cry from the board and if we are to believe it what do we do about it?.

Promote some youth and hope they can step up and player sales obviously......So Mavs first out the door i think we all agree on that and maybe £12/15million at best Mr Marmite man Soucek rumoured to be wanted by he who shall not be named well a possible £25/30million at a stretch Kudus would love his buyout clause to be activated but it wont so say £65million so with three players taken out of the squad & Genoa want Cornet! snatch there hands off at any price we could be sitting on a pot of just over £100million add to that the alleged £50million+ that if you believe it Sullivan bid for that Villa bloke then things maybe not as bad as it would appear.

With contracts up at the end of the season a hell of a lot of work will be needed to be done on the squad and faffing around till deadline day will not cut it this time around so stop teasing supporters with names that we are never going to be able to sign and be more realistic and build a team not a squad of names or just players because they are cheap no proper due diligence has to be done and it had already better of started.

Pacman what a Conundrum even if his name is cleared would he want to stay? would you want to keep him? and of course the Aguered Question which IMO really is not a biggy sell him on and if R.Madrid are interested try £40million see if they bite if they do then a very healthy pot can be used to build the team that Potter wants.

Apparently proving the existence of God is much more likely than Explaining West Ham Scientists say.

Why in God's name was he let out on loam ?, imo he was one of our brightest prospects ,loads of potential ,and not lacking one bit in confidence ,call him back Potts ,now

So a little something for you to digest on your commute or lunchbreak....they say nothings new and well as they say the proofs in the pudding.

Thought I'd post this interview it's from the club website via You tube.

Hopefully this is ok with Louis? As it official club media.

It is an in depth interview by The Ginger Pele and his mate on Iron Cast (podcast). It gives a real insight into Potter and his beliefs. In a more casual away from the paps etc.

I found it really fascinating and hopefully, it will show the sceptics who he is?
