    I think the approach will tell us more than the selection tbh, particularly given the number of absentees. That said, if he starts Rice at centre half and has Martinez on the bench it would feel like an indication that the youth will play a part under him

    I'm really not expecting much change, tbh.

    As others have pointed out, he has been missing a fair number of key players.

    What I would hope to see is more 'bite' and energy in the team, which generally happens for a new manager in the first game or two.

    The rest, hopefully, will follow.

    Is there a contractual obligation that the West Ham manager has to write a column for the Standard?

    But now it comes in a lovely selection of colours and designs.

    I’m hoping for more pride from us long term and 100% to the team and shirt, I can forgive mistakes we all make them, I can forgive if we arnt as good but committed individuals will keep the faith for me, don’t ask for much

    I've made a conscious decision in the past to not apply for Evening Standard jobs but I might in the future, if you give me permission to use this.

    I used to dread matchdays at Twickenham (grew up near the stadium). The A316 (from memory as I havent lived there in a long time) got totally blocked up and it made me dislike rugby a lot

    This alone looks promising.

    Westley said:
    We knew before the game that defensively it was going to be tough for us because so many of our players were missing – we had a lot of square pegs in round holes, players out of position so we knew that whole defensive unit was a bit of a gamble. In midfield and in attack, we created chances but we were always going to let in goals.”

    A massive match tomorrow as if we can get something from it with a solid performance confidence will repair but knowing the run of matches we have in December we don't have the luxury of time and so need turn things around quickly.

    First goal will be very important as if we get it we will start to believe but if Watford do we could capitulate.

    I am backing Carroll to have a screamer, literally, 13-2 first scorer.

    It may not happen in this game, but at least I feel there is a possibility of change to come, whereas, sadly, by the end I didn't see Slav managing to do that.

    I just hope fans give Moyes a little time if we don't show that immediately.

    Me to grey, because would give me no pleasure in saying told you so because that would certainly mean relagation
