Running a bit late on this one, but I'll keep it brief.  I've a sneaky feeling we beat Villa.  Not overly impressed by them man for man, they've had an away trip in Europe, and it's a lot of travelling.  Plus with the Bonds memorial pagentry, the whole ground should be up for giving someone a kicking.

Predicted Team
Reckon Nuno reverts to a 4 for this game.   Not sure what's happened to Luis after a nice cameo vs Liverpool   

Predicted Result: Home Win.  West Ham 3 - 1 Aston Villa (Wilson, Bowen, Fernandes)


COYFI!

It's become a running joke with Paqueta now...He does it so often that other teams press and target him for that very reason.

Jack Rudoni from Coventry would be a much better replacement and he's naturally left footed to give the midfield some balance but we ain't getting anywhere near him now. Watch Palace or Brighton sign him up.

One helluva pass by Magassa.

despite the goal this is good from us. 

Shit from Paqueta giving the ball away (again) but the amount of time & space we gave them in the box is ridiculous.

I'd stick Wilson on for Paqueta. Need some physical presence in their area.

Paqueta is a liability now.  He should never have come back from the sending off. 

Paqueta costing us again. How has the cսnt not figured it out yet ffs.

Lazy, sloppy shit from Paqueta

2-2  - all to do again . 

Fucking paq giving the ball away again 

Useless Paquetta again. Get him off.

Sloppy from Paqueta

Too passive and far too easy.

Its at least competitive but way too soon to tell and whether we can catch up after that dodgy start. It will come down to beating those around us (Leeds and Forest at home will be massive) and wins in games like today. It looks encouraging based on what we are seeing today though

 

Question of how much we've handicapped ourselves with the first 8 games whilst we were trying to work out the best team and who should be managing them.

The Referee's Zack Hunt again

More of the same West Ham... just gotta hope Nuno doesn't administer the usual half time Moggadon that sees us sit back and try to defend the lead.

They are really uncomfortable with our pace going forward, we need to keep at them. They are gonna lose a man if they hafta keep hacking us down... 
 

Decent so far, they're a very good team with excellent movement.. We're a bit too deep at times but we're in the lead.. 

Stadium really doesn't help, leading against the form team in the league and the atmosphere just can't take off. 

Well deserved 2-1 lead and a nice half of football from us. We've kept them quiet, the own is what it is and  we carried a real threat going forward. More of the same, no going deep and trying to defend at 2-1, at least not too early., 

It's like night and day compared to two months ago. 
Same players, it's just saying the right things to them.

Decent half but can't get too deep.

Jimmys running em ragged. Seen two of them booked. Shame his final ball is not there.
