good news for us

 

West Ham striker Dean Ashton will be out for up to four weeks after twisting his ankle in new manager Gianfranco Zola's first training session. (The Sun)

 

Good news  :thup:

 

Teared apart Taylor and Edger at Upton Park last season. 

 

 

                     Given

              Taylor   Coloccini

Geremi                             Bassong

             Gonzalez  Butt

   Duff                              N'Zogbia

            Owen   Martins

 

However I suspect Chris Hughton will play threw Michael Owen in a diamond again with N'Zogbia at left back.

Bssong has pace is left footed can read the game and has the ability to stay calm under pressure yet I bet Zoggy is played at LB instead, he is shite there and its a double whammy because we miss him as an attacking force so much.

 

A defender in a defending role has to be a better option..

My optimism levels have gone up with the news that Ashton is out.

 

I am now 10% optimistic of getitng a result.

 

It makes a change to see the opposition losing key players, this is now definitely a game we can get something from. My concern is that some of our players will be using the managerless situation to feel sorry for themselves instead of storming the useless cockney bastards for all 3 points.

It's the double whammy bit that I can't believe managers can't see. We weaken our defence and we lessen one of our most dangerous attacking threats in one move. Brilliant tactics that is.

I don't have any confidence in Hughton putting out a sensible side such as:

 

                        Given

 

Beye        Coloccini    Taylor      Bassong

 

                                    Butt

                Gonzales

Geremi                                      N'Zogbia

                                  Xisco

                Owen

 

i fully expect:

 

                          Given

 

Taylor      Cacapa    Coloccini    N'Zogbia

 

                          Butt

          Geremi              Gonzales

 

                          Owen

          Xisco                    Ameobi

Beye not injured?

 

He is, but Duff might be back. Put geremi right back and move Duff to right wing.

Apparently West Ham sold their only recognised left back (McCartney) on deadline day, so we must get at them down that side.

 

Shame that this wonderful new system we have failed to bring in the right-winger we required.

I think they signed one on loan from a South American club.

we got 2 left back on loan after the window shut both out of contract.  The guy who played last week looked ok, but nothing great prob west team

 

                    Green

Neil    Upson Davenport Illuga

 

Behrami  Parker Noble Faubert / Boa Morte

 

  Cole    Bellamy

 

Bellamy will probably get injured in the warm up and parker will spin around in circles 1000 by the final whistle.

We wasted our money on Jonas and Xisco instead.

tbf, there is no way we should fear that side, especially if we have a couple back.

I actually agree with the managers on this one. Zog is an OK left back (not s***, not particularly good). But when he's played there, it basically gives us two left wingers and causes trouble for the opposition because they don't know who should be picking him up. It certainly worked against Bolton last month, and in theory should work against a lot of the lesser teams.

 

WHAT? :lol: Zoggy does not track back, go's missing a lot, does not tuck in when we are being attacked from the other flank, no other manager of any other club would buy Zoggy with a view to using him as a left back.

He is the only left winger we have that will attack the full back, Duff just checks back all the time and Jonas on the left drifts in all the time with him being a right footer. Charlie on the left wing and Jonas on the right wing is by far our best wide attacking options, both attack full backs both will hug the wing and offer us width.

 

Bassong is a left footed defender, yes better at CB but still better at left back than Zoggy, he understands the role of being a defender. You can say having Zoggy at LB gives us a double attacking option but how many assists does he have whilst playing at LB? how many goals have we conceded with him at LB, goals that have came because he has not tracked back.
