Reply | A confident OShea and Greaves are far better than Wolfie/Burgess
at 12:10 1 Sep 2025
And also Burgess is older.
The continuing issue remains that the team need wins to build confidence, and to get the patterns going.
Even the likes of Man City with their unbelievable talent are mired in a confidence spiral.
We need a bit of luck, some fan backing, and to try and turn this around.
The ref and Derby dark arts, combined with some errors (including from OShea) meant the excellent football seen in the first half on Saturday, has long been forgotten it seems. |

Summary
Yes, Nuno’s relationship with both the owner (Marinakis) and Global Head of Football (Edu Gaspar) has visibly deteriorated.
The sign-off and timing of transfers—broadly speaking, not limited to one player—has been a key flashpoint in these tensions.
Reports do not single out Omari Hutchinson’s signing as the cause of the fallout.
For me watching the Forest game, Omari HAS to be brought on early today for Hudson Odoi. And if you’re not playing him left (no chance he plays as a 10) why buy Omari and McAtee when you have already bought your starting right sided attacker?!
Interesting for Hutchinson by unstableblue 31 Aug 15:42Hutchinson on bench again.
Forest fans see him as the backup to Ndoye only.
West Ham are sitting deep and defending well, Nuno needs to open them up.
But interesting that he brings on the excellent McAtee for NDoye, on the right. I actually think McAtee is a better player than Omari.
Seems like our former fan is quite down the pecking order. Surely he’s an option for Hudson-Odoi on the right who’s having a poor game.
Gibbs-White is obviously their main man and number 10.
Be interesting to see if he gets 5mins. Obviously if he gets 5mins.
West Ham don’t deserve the lead. But when you have Bowen!
Despite West Ham sitting deep none of the dark arts of Derby.

Also Forest have a lot of games this season. |

West Ham have sat deep, been very robust on crosses, change of shape from Potter apparently.
But Forest were on top; and the Hammers fans singing “how sh!t you must be we’re winning away”
But Somerville and Wilson gave them some bite on the break.
Shocking refereeing for the second West Ham goal, has to give the foul for forest in the build up, has to.
As you say Forest then fall apart. And omari enters at a horrible time for a pointless cameo. |

Thread | Ian Westlake and the FotMob momentum chart nails today
at 19:04 30 Aug 2025
Thought Westie was excellent on TownTV today
Fair, accurate and critical when required
Also the FotMob momentum chart tells a tale
Poor start from us didn’t get going
Began to rally
Then from 20-45mins we were really good in part
Our central midfield, especially Cajuste were purring
We score and go for the second, which was essential, but can’t get through the low block again
Need the penalty to be awarded, not given
We were far superior and Derby looked a poor outfit
Start second OK, but then Derby have a moment and the penalty
We rally a little
Then Derby go full sh!thousery
OShea makes an error, they score and the sh!hosiery goes up a gear
We lose momentum, and the team heads drop and there seems a lack of leadership on the pitch
Clarke and Akpom start making a difference
And at the death Clarke steps up under huge pressure and equalises
Greaves man of the match on FotMob stats
The end

OShea is a good player
He just tried to be too clever, I think he thought he could chest it down and find space to break the lines with them having numbers forward
He just needed to head clear |

The good:
Azor and Cajuste were at times very very good
For second part of the first half we played some good stuff and carved chances
Chaplin had good moments
Greaves brought the ball out well
The bad:
Hirst was poor
McAteer was poor
The ugly:
The ref
The blatant penalty not given which would have changed everything
The unbelievable sh!thousery from Derby
Travis kick out

Thread | The bench selection will be fascinating tomorrow
at 23:53 29 Aug 2025
Perhaps a starting 11 of:
Palmer
Young OShea Greaves Davis
Azor Cajuste
Ogbene (!) Szmodics Philogene
Hirst
(I literally cannot decide whether it’s Ogbene, McAteer or Clarke on the right?!)
But it’s the bench and who is left out that is interesting:
Walton
Furlong
Kipre
Taylor
McAteer
Akpom
Chaplin
J Clarke
Ivan
Johnson and Wolfie to miss out? |
