West Ham v Brentford (H): Sunday 3rd October; 14:00
Another day, another match thread. The Jorderz/alderz tryst is becoming a distant memory as the OCS match-thread juggernaut ploughs through three competitions.
Back to the league this weekend, and another tough game. Brentford seem to have arrived in the PL with no fear and plenty of talent, so we can't afford to take them lightly.
Johnson for Coufal the likeliest change from the starting eleven v Leeds, otherwise I expect to see the same line up. Hopefully Antonio made it through tonight unscathed and will be ready to continue his remarkable form.
I think there'll be goals; my early prediction is an entertaining 2-2 draw. I'll hopefully be on hand from kick-off to correctly predict our goalscorers by calling them useless moments before they score.

Just ridiculous that during lockdown they showed every match on TV but now we get this
Glad we managed to rest some players but those that were rested came back off the bench to close the game out, gonna be tough on the legs for some of those
Fab
Coufal Zouma Oggy Cresswell
Rice Soucek
Bowen Fornals Benrahma
Antonio
Expecting a good game, could be a fair few goals in it
Coufal - Zouma - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Rice - Soucek
Bowen - Fornals - Benrahma
Antonio
"Coufal has a chance, I am not sure about Ryan Fredericks., They're both not bad and there's a chance they could both be available."
Frank plays 3-5-2, 10 players have started all six matches with a bit of tinkering in the centre of midfield.
CB Ethan Pinnock who will have a late fitness test for his hip which he injured against Liverpool (replaced by Zanka)
Raya
Ajer - Jansson - Pinnock???
Canos - Norgaard - ?????? - Janelt -Henry
Toney - Mbuemo
Benrahma to score cos its his old club
That's the run over then.
A way to combine Brentford's feisty approach and Bankes' tendency for a card, is to take the 5/6 with Sky Bet for Brentford to pick up more booking points (10 points for a yellow, 20 for a red) than the Hammers. Of the ever-present Premier League teams in the last two seasons, only Arsenal and Manchester City have committed less fouls than West Ham, who also have picked up the second fewest yellow cards in that time.
From sky sports, found it interesting.
Very fussy, poor decision maker and overrated…Possibly the worst of select group 1 referees IMO , let’s hope he has a good day tomorrow and not spoil it…
COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️
Feeling a Fornals goal today. COYI!!
The other nine have started every Premier League game this season
Ajer isn't on the bench so injured or ill
Hes been great but his finishing as been very poor
Nervous about today, they have real energy about them and they have no fear
COME ON YOU IRONS
