Brentford vs West Ham Official Match Thread

[Ibbyham]

Hope all our players will not get fatigue against Lyon and in a positive note, Lanzini will be back to bolster our midfielder department that we had been sorely missed as Benrahma was a bit weak on that area. Johnson will be on right back slot as Fredericks was a bit poor. Brentford will be a tough game and they are not a pushover. We need to maximise our performance to get something from that game.

Squad:

Fabianski

Johnson
Dawson
Zouma
Cresswell

Rice
Soucek

Bowen
Lanzini
Fornals

Antonio

This is a good as strong squad as we can get. Brentford will be high in confidence and we need to be strong on this one.

COYI!!!

I’d really wanna be resting some of them after tonight. They put in a hell of a shift in the 2nd half

Excellent start Ibbs, you'rve still got it ! Don't let anyone tell you, you have'nt.

With a beady eye on next Thursday, I would make the following adjustments.

Coufal has to start, as we will need him midweek and he needs game time. However he won't last 60 mins, so I would change him for Johnson. Cresswell can play the full 90 on the other flank as has made himself unavailable.

Having withdrawn the knacked Coufall on the hour, I would withdraw Rice,Antonio and Bowen. Keep them fresh.

Which means utilising the talents of messrs Vlasic,Noble,Yarmolenko or Benrahma for the last 30 mins. Not ideal and very un-Moyse; which probably signals hopes fading and dying and all that jazz.

Can't be helped - some people are just not for turning... and some people can't be helped

But a tricky situation is it not ?

We can still finish 6th. I'd say anything better isn't on now but that would at least give us Europa League again next season.

And despite Brentford's demolition job on the plastics and that they'll both be bouyed from it and fresh, it's a game that we'd be looking to win in normal circumstances, if not as revenge for them beating us at the ILS, the upstarts.

Or is it a cup win or nothing ? A couple of bob to win or a bob each way ?


Moyes has a tough choice but it's what he does.

[Towie]

Tired players playing all 90mins except Cresswell.

Only one outcome Brentford win.

Think you’re prob right on this occasion, Towie

Fatigue = injuries
Fatigue = tiredness = errors

Our best is being flogged to death.

Only one person to blame.

Or maybe three.

I doubt we'll ever know.

This will be a tough game but one I believe we need to win to stand a chance of top 6 position.

Have our players gone off to fight in the Ukraine ? Or have they been abducted by ISIS ?

Or have they had to play 2 games of football in 7 days poor darlings......
