splendidrush 700 Posted August 30, 2019 As usual I'd bite your hand off for a draw, West Ham won't be taking this lightly, they also need to be beating the Teams around them. Looking at their spend over recent years, anything but a win for them would be regarded as a poor result. For us, with our injuries, even a close defeat would be a decent result.

Ramrod 258 Posted August 31, 2019 Happy to avoid defeat. 2 - 2 my prediction. Godfrey and Buendia to score although I have a sneaky suspicion for Stiepermann. Also, it wouldn't surprise me to see us play 3 CH's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jools 584 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) As with Newcastle, these are the teams we need to take points off -- Hanley being out could work favourably for us and with the right team selection and formation I see no reason why we shouldn't take maximum points. We don't get much joy at West Ham, but then we didn't have Pukki. Attack is our strength and despite being away, I wouldn't be shy by fielding a 4-3-3 against their 4-2-3-1: Krul Aarons - rwb >> Zimmermann - cb Godfrey - cb Lewis - lwb >> Leitner - rmc > Trybull - dmc Vrancic - lmc > Buendia - rw >>> Pukki - s >>> Cantwell - lw >>> subs: Roberts Byram Amadou Drmić Stiepermann Fährmann Tettey ? It's been a brilliant week what with the prorogation and all that entails, so I'm feeling lucky with a thrifty on City at 11/4 and a pony on 2-0 at 25/1 👍 Edited August 31, 2019 by Jools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Green Army 237 Posted August 31, 2019 Hanley injury could be a blessing in disguise. Zimbo back in, 0-2 Norwich. Pukki and Buendia on the scoresheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted August 31, 2019 I'm forever blowing bubbles, and predict City to win 2-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted August 31, 2019 18 hours ago, It's Character Forming said: Yep sometimes you wonder if people remember the start to last season... I certainly remember Norwich's start to last season - hence my preference not to see it repeated. The Premier League is much less forgiving than The Championship; beat WHU & Norwich (imo) are likely to fly at a higher altitude for the rest of the season. This is win-able game...

Herman 9,756 Posted August 31, 2019 Yeah, probably a poorly played loss. Hope I'm wrong though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
