West Ham vs Everton - Sat 25th - 3pm
So another cup final awaits us on Saturday, the players must be made of solid stuff as I can barely take the watching of these games.
I am hoping we can take three points and feel we will need to with Spurs having, on paper, their best chance of three points. The picture will change with each set of fixtures right until the final minute of the final matches in my view, but with five matches to go we are two points clear and that is an achievement at this point.
I imagine the team will be unchanged as no one is letting the side down at all at present but if we needed our two game changers in Bowen and Summerville to step up then it's now. I think they will, I think thus match will be the time they really drive us on.

It is after ten minutes in that I get the heeby jeebies 😉
He suffered a head injury on Sunday and could be subject to the same "concussion protocol" that kept Mavropanos out of the FA Cup
Everton had been on top for most of the 2nd half until he went off but they only managed one shot a couple of minutes after he went off then nothing for the last 15 minutes (plus time added on)
Beto was replaced by Thierno Barry, 6 goals in 36, the only other out-and-out striker
Branthwaite definitely won't be playing, he came off on a stretcher just before the end and will be out for 2 months with a hamstring. He was replaced by Keane who also replaced him for two matches he missed in March
Other than that the line up is fairly predictable, apart from a couple of changes due to injury Moyes has started the same XI 6 games in a row
Pickford
O'Brien Tarkowski Keane Mykolenko
Gueye Garner
McNeil Dewsbury-Hall Ndiaye
Beto???
Garner is still their best player but he might have to be careful as he picked up his 9th yellow against Liverpool
Grealish needed surgery on his foot in February and won't play again this season
Garner's a lucky boy
Come on, Jimmy, you can do it!
Though for some reason we signed a guy called 'Uncle Rufus' (literally had Uncle Rufus written on the back of his shirt) who scored a brace. Absolutely no idea who that is and I don't even have an uncle called Rufus or know of someone who is an uncle called Rufus.
Everton had someone sent off on the 59th minute, and one of their CB's was a 10 year old girl who fouled Uncle Rufus in the 90th Minute but we didn't need a penalty because he had scored before he was fouled. Was a really weird dream.
Good omens maybe ? or I am probably losing my mind.
I guess it always helps to have two hamstrings...

Anything to do with you Alderz
Is this your famous spreadsheet 📉📊
Shamefully, a few weeks ago I spend a day extracting all our results ever from the site and adding them to my spreadsheet, which had previously only gone back to the mid-1970s.
It's how I learned that our first ever win was over a team called Vampires, back in September 1896 (I think thornbury might have been there).
Mention for 18yo CF/LW Braiden Graham who has scored 17 in 27 for the U21s this season
Interesting…
Sorry
Wrong manager
As u were
But then Moyes does like playing wingers/attacking midfielders as strikers (Arnautovic, Antonio)
Hermansen
KWP Mavro Disasi Diouf
Bowen Fernandes Soucek Summerville
