Hooking Collison for the second time in two games would have been a real kick in the teeth for the kid.

It's the little things like that which set Sam apart in my opinion. Brilliant man-management again from the big fella.... :thup:

Who was replaced for Lansbury to come on last night, was it Maynard?

In such an ecstatic mood after last nights result, hopefully a season defining win!
Does anyone have a link to Big Sam's interview neither sky or bbc seem to be showing one?

Pennies worth.....
Green doesn't come out of his box, gets rounded by the player who scores....2-2 and squeeky bum time!!!................
or
Green commits to challenge outside the box...risking possible red....keeps score at as is and hopes team can hold on!!..........

Don't condone the foul.........but i think thats what you call taking one for the team!!! :wink:

Not really. Collison was the spare man in midfield and it would have been a logical move tactically to keep a flat four across the middle and the natural balance of Faubert and Larry Blackmon in the wide positions.....

Got to say about last night was Blackpool made the seating really random by telling everyone to sit anywhere you wanted so that made it a free for all and it was good fun everyone getting all together and having a laugh. I had god knows how many people jumping on me each time we scored.
Think the seating situation made for some good fun.. Also did anyone else notice the signs saying warning don't bounce up and down in the stand?
Then everyone did just that... :raver:

wasn't it a flat four already with Tomkins as the 5th midfielder playing in front of the back four ? Collison in the middle with Noble and then Faubert ,Vaz Te wide and getting up quick to support Maynard.

If you like, yes.

However, once Faubert went off, we no longer had a natural right-sided player in the midfield. Point I was making was that Faubert wasn't necessarily the obvious choice to come off given the circumstances.....

FWIW I don't think Green had to come out that far, there was a player pushing the attacker wide, narrowing the angle, Green could have held his ground. It's bad decision making. It's also doubtful whether he was the last man as the other defender was chasing back. the attacker pushed the ball wide, not round Green. No point challenging it though.

When Phillips scored and Green was sent off, I kept thinking, "Sam said his west ham wouldn't throw away 2 goal leads, he didn't lie to us did he?" Sam never lies.

tactically, yes, but from a man-managing point of view, keeping collison in was the least fat sam could do, in my opinin.

I can think of at least two of our recent managers who wouldn't have given Collison's mental state a second thought....
