    It's odd, as he is listed in the squad, but then later it says:
    However, Michail Antonio (hamstring), Andy Carroll (hip), Winston Reid (knee), Diafra Sakho (back) and Cheikhou Kouyate (knee) will all miss the match to continue working on their rehabilitation, while Jose Fonte will return next week after helping Portugal reach the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.

  • Yeah, but you know how our media people manage to keep on top of things...probably ex Trump employees. ;whistle
  • Grey - oh ;lol

    Thought a WHU injury lasting only two days was too good to be true. ;lol
  • Premier sports have pulled the plug on live coverage of Fulham match. Will now be delayed coverage.

  • 2-0 up apparantly

    Fletcher and Lanzini with goals, could be a lot more Lanzini pulling all the strings could've had a hattrick from the tweets I've seen
  • Good workout.

    Manu looking lively, Cullen playing like Marky Mark's Mini me. Bryan spent most of the half as a spare right winger.

    Certainly a higher tempo than the first game.
  • Holland playing well according to one website have high hopes for this lad from what I have seen of him
  • That was my post, although obviously the Mrs would agree with me...
  • How about Martinez is he showing anything??
  • Not tearing up any trees so far...
  • 2nd half team are eager enough, but seem to lack the urgency of the first lot.
  • Ayew seemed to be playing very deep.
  • The 2nd half team struggled without the creativity of Lanzini and Holland. Martinez didn't get a sniff.

    Anybody think 6 pre-season games is a bit too few?

    Only four left (2x Bremen, Altona 93, Man City).

    Sure we normally play around 10?

    We played 6 last season too and looked so undercooked for the first few months.

    But then again we played 5 in 2015/16. So Slav obviously favours less games.

    ;hmm
  • I think when there are more friendlies, the first team players don't actually play that much anyway. It's always "West Ham XI" rather than actual West Ham.
  • edited July 2017
    Eski - yeah I did look and exclude them. ;ok

    All WHU XI where it's basically development squad I didn't include.

    Still Slav's reign has seen very few first team friendlies in comparison to previous managers.

    Suppose he'd rather have the same batch of players going 45 x2, then up to 60, then to 90 over a few games, than a load of them.

    Maybe it's more a modern trend? Most teams seem to play less friendlies.
  • or maybe he knows about our injure record ;whistle
  • Lukerz

    Last two years we have had fewer friendlies but also had early rounds of Europa, so this is a departure from the norm, I think.

    Personally, I would rather they played less pointless friendlies and did more team bonding and physical conditioning work. Usually the friendlies are at such a walking pace they don't really benefit anybody.
  • It's strange, as regardless of previous experience, performance/results in friendlies often create concerns and anxiety in sections of our fans, even though it's clear that there is no correlation between pre-season friendly games and how we then do in the league.

    On both Monday and Tuesday afternoons, the group got through more than 300 pieces of the smart new 2017/18 Umbro trainingwear and accessories – rain jackets, jumpers, shirts, shorts, socks, underpants, bibs, boots, trainers, flip flops and a woolly hat for manager Slaven Bilic – all of which needs to be washed and dried for the following day.

    If anybody is interested this guy is following the Hammers all pre-season: Sam Inkersole

    ;ok
  • Ogbonna and Lanzini picked up injuries in training today.

    Well, actually, what was tweeted was
    @Sam_InkersoleTM any word on Ogbonna after complaints of knee pain? How serious is it sounding?

    Reply: No update yet. He wasn't limping too badly at all, just felt a twinge I think.


  • I couldn't find anything about Lanzini on either football.london or on the guy's twitter account. When you post stuff like that, could you give a proper (direct) link, Luke, please? Pretty please? ;beer

    Good news. Diafra Sakho should start training with the first team squad in the next day or so. Good luck Diafra. dg
