West Ham United 0 Reading 1 (04/10/06)
I know that we have Palermo on Thursday, but arguably the Reading game on Sunday has taken on a greater deal of significance than just a 'we stole your manager' type banter scenario with the current state of play of the team and the possible forced changes due to injuries. With two games in quick succession, is there any mileage in discussing potential tactics for Reading (other than 'will Dailly be playing?' - which frankly scares the **** out of me)?
Re: er.. Official West Ham vs Reading thread?
Very tough game. As you say, there away end will be rammed out for Pards and there tails will be up because they're playing well. Arguably playing with the same confidence as we were this time last year. Thing will have to turn for us but I'm not convinced it will be this Sunday esp with the journey to Italy 3 days previous. 1-1
Re: er.. Official West Ham vs Reading thread?
I tend to agree. At the moment i would be glad of the draw, despite the fact that on paper we should wipe the floor with them. It would be fantastic for Tevez to gel finally and get a hat trick, but 2-2 is my predictionPaoloD wrote:Very tough game.

Bloody Hell I'd forgotten about that!
I can't imagine much will have changed from the days in the championship, even though they have done pretty well without him. He will probably get a lot of abuse.
Things haven't really changed for us even though we have done well without roeder so I guess for them its the same thing!

4-0 win to us, they're rubbish. They've still got 8 or 9 of the same team which finished 7th in the Championship when we went up.
It's a case of mind over matter. Who cares if they're above us? Who cares if they're on form? It's still the same side who finished below our crap Championship team 2 years ago.

Spector Collins Gabbidon Konchesky
Yossi Bowyer Mascherano Etherington
Harewood Tevez

This fixture couldn't have come at a worse time.
We're on a losing streak and have to travel back from a difficult Europe trip to face a promoted side full of confidence on the back of a draw against one of the strongest teams in the division.
I feel that the part time supporters and "boo-boys" will be out in force for this one to drive the team on with their constant chanting of "Alan Pardew's Claret and Blue army" and get 100% behind the team..... or more likely, they will boo our team sheet as it is read out and scream abuse from the kick off. :evil:
Let's pack the midfield (Mullins, Mascherano, Dailly, Bowyer) and draw their sting and use Tevez and Harewood to run at them and win some free kicks and rattle one in off the crossbar.
We need to stop the rot and digging out a 0-0 draw will help, a 1-0 win would be better but this is not an easy game. We are not playing with the confidence or style of last season.
