    Should have said a season or three to be honest, and I agree, it wouldn`t be easy to come back up. If we do manage to "survive" this season we really do need to strengthen, no more mid thirties and no more Hugills (although I quite like a gamble from the lower leagues). Five or six top quality signings and a cool £100 million + spend and we may just have a half decent season to look forward to. Anything less and it will be same old same old. That`s my fear, season after season of mediocrity.

    Brother Sledge. I think you may have stumbled upon a new economic theory, or at least solved the riddle that has puzzled some of the Worlds greatest minds. No more shortages, more nurses than you could shake a stick at, everyone happy, plus untold wealth and riches. Pay everyone £350,000 per week and tax revenue would be off the scale. Might even pay me mortgage off. ;biggrin

    Whilst it was another hugely disappointing result for us, we are no worse off in terms of the bottom 3 than at the start of play.

    That said, that probably won't be of any use if we don't get wins against Southampton and Stoke, as we'd then most likely be looking at getting a win from Leics away and/or Everton at home to stand a chance.

    I honestly thought we had managed to pull away a few weeks ago, but there is no doubt we are currently right in it.

    Southampton and Stoke are 27 28 points beat them both and we will be on 36 and both of those teams may still be under 30 points. Definition of a 6 pointer game both games.

    Personally I think it is two from Stoke, Southampton and us for the drop (to join WBA) Lose against Southampton and we are truly up to our necks in it.

    Not playing this weekend could mean we are out of the bottom three on goal difference only.

    Not playing at the weekend means that there is no prospect of us getting thrashed again

    We might. But we could also still be 3 points ahead with a game in hand.

    Can only hope.

    Huddersfield aren't out of it by any stretch of the imagination, and nor are Palace, imo.

    Maybe re : Huddersfield

    Palace though are not actually playing that badly and had their main man missing only for their less winnable games - they will pull clear pretty quickly IMO

    Zaha helps but they only have 1 defender and a poor keeper.

  • stevesteve
    but they do seem to have an easy run in
  • HammerexHammerex
    We had a poor keeper in our last match. ;doh
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I think we will have one in our next match too can’t see him putting Adrian it’s an admission he got it wrong in the first place, he was quoted as saying hart would get another chance why say that only he knows
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Moyes spoke to the press on Friday and he explained why he was replacing Adrian. After Hart's performance on Saturday there's no reason why Moyes can't switch again

    I suppose it could be argued (not that I am, though) that the GK was just as much rattled by the fan shenanigans as the other players, thus giving him a bit of an out.
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    I suppose it could also be argued that he has been rattled ever since being replaced at City
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    They say goalkeepers get better with age can only happen at West Ham
  • Giant_HammerGiant_Hammer
    Well, it can't be dandruff getting in his eyes. ;biggrin
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    I hope we keep Adrian in goal as hart will be gone soon, we need to keep at least one of them
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Difference between the two is Hart has not shown any sign he deserves the place to counter his bad games. At best, he hasn’t been at fault for the goals that have flown by. Adrian might have had bad games but he’s also had good ones. Hart is just kind of there.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Frankly I don't think we're a big enough draw to attract a keeper better than Adrian at the moment. Hart was a huge mistake because we probably could have held onto Randolph if it had just been him and Adrian.
  • ClaretandBlueforLifeClaretandBlueforLife
    Other than Hart being “a big name goalkeeper”......well used to be, I really can’t understand why we signed him on loan in the first place, utterly pointless signing.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We needed someone as Randolph wanted to leave for first team football
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;hmm Not sure that's right, or the right sequence of events?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Randolph might have stayed if he'd have got more game time but when Hart arrived it became a necessity as he would have been third choice keeper

    Sullivan's comments on whufc.com that Hart was "the best goalkeeper I've worked with" probably didn't help
