Brumstopdogs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The sad thing is we might do the same! Let's hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) West Spam will just come and park the bus, which is a massive issue for us. Which was exactly what they did last year, it was a penalty and a worldy free kick that got us the win which is why games like this are where we need that bit of quality to open them up Without Carroll, what's that boriello like? I can still remember Diego Tristan scoring his only goal for west ham against us, can see something similar happening here Edited February 4, 2014 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't rate Carroll at all but him being out is definitely good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I wonder if the bookies are taking bets on which team hoofs it the most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't rate Carroll at all but him being out is definitely good for us. To be honest mate our back 4 (imo) deal quite well with physical brutes, its the tricky intelligent guys they struggle with. I don't know who will play instead but I would have been quite happy to see carroll in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 They have no strikers and will park the bus. 3 at the back it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being out for 3 games can't exactly be good for their morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I cant see them parking the bus, they are in the bottom 3 and its getting to the business end of the season now. Fat Sam will see this as a game they can win. We dont counter all that well without Gabby so a cautious approach from them will be less likely. Im going for 1-0 either way, scrappy corner likely to win it. Be another huge 3 points for us if we can pull it off. Back to back home wins sounds foreign to me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Think we'll go back to the diamond and take it to them. Line-up will be completely down to whether or not Gabby is back. If he is: .....................Goose......................... Bacuna....Clark....Baker....Bertrand ..................Westwood..................... ..............KEA.............Delph............. ...................Weimann...................... ............Gabby..........Benteke.......... If he isn't: .....................Goose......................... Lowton....Clark....Baker....Bertrand ..................Westwood..................... ..............KEA.............Delph............. ....................Bacuna...................... ..........Weimann.......Benteke..........

Qwpzxjor1 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You don't need attackers to score against our defence some times.. Park the bus, play for the 0-0 and hope we give away a stupid goal. That's what West Ham will do and from what we've seen this season I'm not optimistic we'll break that tactic apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted February 5, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2014 I fear that Lambert will: - Play 5-2-3 - Start with Holt - Start with Herd Please ensure me this won't be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I can't be too negative about this game. I think we'll be able to snag 3 pts out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
