It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.

This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win.  Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be.  With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.

Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's.  Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward.  And of course Soucek is back.

Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.

Predicted Starting Lineup:

Areola

Wan Bissaka   Mavropanos    Kilman    Diouf

Magassa

Fernandes             Soucek       Paqueta       Summerville

Bowen (c)

Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles

Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

[nychammer]

Same old story. Fast start, fail to capitalize and the other team turn the screw. Massive let off and it could change the game but to be honest we don’t look remotely like scoring. 

[fraser]

Get this cսnt out of the club, scandalous.

We are going down, this is the worse side I’ve seen in 50 years of support. 

Bin him off tonight and let Robson and Potts take it till the end of the season. Absolute cսnt.

I support the manager.... 

Pathetic cսnt..  

[El Scorchio]

Put the full backs on the correct flanks, bring on Magassa and Marshall for Soucek and Irving with Paqueta going back to midfield. 

surely. 

[zico]

Lucky with VAR. We are fucked this season. Can't remember a pair of worse centre backs, make the likes of Gary Breen and Callum Davenport look good. Midfield is non existent. Was hoping for something from Fernandes and Magassa in the opening games but so far no better than what we already have. May as well put Walker Peters in midfield as at least he runs about. Who do you bring on? I'd probably swap the maximum but with who?

[Forest Gate Ugly]

Scabs boo them off at half time. Disgrace on so many levels 

[Tomshardware]

Brentford paid £30 million for Thiago.

[Vexed]

Who would have thunk that picking an absurd starting lineup would result in us getting battered all game with about 3% possession against a fellow struggling team? Wholesale changes needed at half time. Idiotic from Nuno. 

[Nutsin]

Just when you think it can’t get any worse.

Fucking toilet!

[Maverick180180]

I cannot slate Potter without pulling this cսnt up for doing the exact same mistakes 

[Keep dreaming]

Igor cannot be worse than Kilman or Todibo.

100% agree 

[Massive Attack]

More of the crowd should have stayed away like the others have.

Shocking 1st half after a decent first 10 minutes.

[Tomshardware]

2nd best all over the park and can't see it changing in the 2nd half. 

[goose]

Honestly who gives a fuck.

We’re so shit.

[Keep dreaming]

Could and should be 5 nil down at half time

Midfield non existent 

Scarlet struggling big time.

No forward 

What's not to like?


BOOOOOOOOO

[twoleftfeet]

Get this cսnt out of the club, scandalous.

We are going down, this is the worse side I’ve seen in 50 years of support. 

Bin him off tonight and let Robson and Potts take it till the end of the season. Absolute cսnt.

[El Scorchio]

That’s a Fucking let off. 2-0 would have been too much to come back from. At 1-0 if he makes some changes we still have some hope 

[southbankbornnbred]

Igor cannot be worse than Kilman or Todibo.

 

 

 

 

He can. He’s absolutely shit, mate. Yet another woeful signing. Brighton’s fifth choice CB at times.

[Tomshardware]

Travesty that this is 1-0, very lucky to get away with that offside.

[ragingbull]

Phew still in it.

[Elpojohn]

The Cowards of Stratford are losing at home by 1-0 to bloody Brentford , shame on your starting lineup Nuno you overpaid POS

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Lucky not to be about 5-0 down.

Nuno is as fucking clueless as Potter.

[honky cat]

fucks sake

[RootsRadical]

Oh dear 
 

[goose]

Igor cannot be worse than Kilman or Todibo.

[Keep dreaming]

To all the West Ham fans that defended that line up 
welcome to reality 

 

 

I can only recall one here defending this. But several sere happy to see Soucek in midfield again.

This is the worst midfuin the premier league, and add to that the clumsy cսnt Kilman and no forward.

Championship, here we cone
