Adam, let’s hope not be using the excuse I’ve been overworked

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.”

Pessimism averted ;phew

Ayew is out tomorrow ill. According to exwhuemployee which means it's probably true.

IronHerb

Away win.

Lukerz

Martinez on the bench tomorrow according to Ex. Rice and Quina too.

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

Zabaleta - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell is the back four today according to whufc_bulletin

I'm quite nervous for today...although tbf I always am

I like everything Moyes has said and done so far but he's only had 2 weeks

I'm not just nervous about this game but I know how many difficult games coming up that this is a 3 points must for me

Interesting that Moyes has gone with Noble-Obiang-Kouyate in midfield, something Bilic hasn’t really done since 2015/16.

Will be an interesting test to see if Moyes can find a way to get Carroll involved in the game. Our service to our forwards has mostly been shocking this season.

It doesn't look the most creative team on paper, so let's see what (if anything) he has managed to come up with.

Unfortunately will have to record the game to watch 'live' later tonight.
Mrs and I are doing an escape room thingy with friends in Canterbury then out for a pub meal.
Hope I can avoid hearing the score etc. coyi

Keen to see where Lanzini plays. It looks like wide on right but I hope he can get up and support Carroll, as Hazard did yesterday.
Good to see 3 youngsters on the bench.
