West Ham Vs Wolves - Friday 10th - 8pm

Now we have the International friendlies and FA Cup out of the way we return to the pressing matter of seven cup finals to try and avoid relegation. This game must be one of our best chances of a crucial three points as Wolves were the first team relegated and have not left the bottom of the table for a long time. However they have bested us twice already this season and the last time comprehensively so.

We will need our first eleven fit and ready by Friday, so I am hoping first of all that Summerville is back, and then Hermanson, AWB, Tobido and Mavro. This makes us a lot better than the side put out for the Leeds match and hopefully enough to see off Wolves. I may be imagining it but I do feel we do ok on night fixtures and our two next matches are under the lights, I am hoping for four points at least to keep pressure on Spurs, Forest and Leeds. Four points between four teams, seven games to go, time to step up for each and every player now.

    Wolves have not been relegated yet

    The worry for this game is that we will feel the immense pressure of a home crowd expecting 3 points & know how vital they are to our chances of staying up.

    They will be playing with complete freedom.

    I think and trust that the fans will get right behind the team and really be that extra man after yesterday’s comeback and fight we showed, gotta be positive , as well, think we’ll be seeing about 5-6 changes from yesterday’s starting X1.. COYI ⚒️🙏

    Wolves haven’t lost the last three league games, beating Villa and Liverpool at home then coming back from 2-0 down to earn a point away at Brentford.

    Otherwise not a lot has changed since we got thumped at the beginning of the year and like Leeds there aren’t any notable injuries

    Hwang-He Chan is back on the bench after 3 weeks off with a calf injury, had 15 minutes against Liverpool in the FA Cup but hasn't played for a month

    They used some of the Stand-Larsen money to sign CF Adam Armstrong for £7m plus £2m add ons from Southampton on deadline day and he finally got off the mark against Brentford.

    They also signed AM Angel Gomes on loan from Marseille (ex-Man Utd, Lille and Boavista) bringing the Gomes quota to four

    "Mind if we call you Gomes to keep it clear?"

    I think if Traore can replicate the performance yesterday (& isn’t injured) it won’t be too much of an issue if he starts Friday (if Summerville isn’t back).

    Its just a shame Traore can't play on the left...

    Except he, and we as a team, were far better when he switched with Bowen to play on the left.
