Tough game but one we've got to do well in...

Again, performances from individuals and as a team will be required to get anything from this game.

We never know who is going to step on the field at the minute but we need those who are asked to do so, to be brave and committed to the game plan.

Right now I think I'd take a point as long as the performance is right.

3 points here and it's a seriously good result for us.

 

[J.spurs]

Been looking forward to this one all season. I wish we were taking a full-strength side there, but they're missing some good players as well. Either way, should be very entertaining for the neutral.

And therefore misery for us...Not expecting to enjoy this one at all.

Yeah, but I’d rather watch an open game against another team with attacking intent than us trying to break down West Ham for 90 minutes.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

We get 6 points over the next 2 games and we are right in the mix.

Yes, I am daring to dream.

No offense, but I’m blaming this post for Romero’s injury

 

[ClemFandango]

We've got to get through Brighton and Bournemouth and then January might not be that catastrophic since we've only got 3 fixtures, one being the FA Cup tie against Burnley.

Rumours that Mickey might be available in some capacity on the 14th against United and if Romero's recovery goes well, we could feasibly have our first choice CB pairing available for Brentford at the end of January.

That said, Sonny heads off the the Asian cup on Monday as well so we're going to have to hope Richarlison really has found his shooting boots.

Based on what Ange himself has said, it also looks really likely that we’ll bolster the squad a bit in January, hopefully earlier than later in the window. Of course we’ve heard that one before…

I remember he did publicly call for another CB signing after we signed Mickey but that never materialised and you always have this sense that The Dark Lord often tells his managers to make do with what they've got as well.

I'd like to think that Levy's eyes have finally been opened to what we can achieve with Ange if he's properly backed and given the players he wants so I'm certainly hoping we can sign a few players as well - especially given the news that Dier, Lloris and, apparently, Hojbjerg, have all been told they can leave next month despite everything.

Well that’s fair enough I guess.

Lol, it's the hope that kills you...

I think we have a chance of getting a CB... But I don't expect it to be at the start of the window and I don't expect it to be a ready made Premier league Top 4 starter either.

I wonder if Romero’s injury might light a fire under Dr Evil on the CB front.

I love you guys...

Hey I’m returning to happy clapper status after several years of miserable cunt. Swings and roundabouts as they say.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Hjojberg starts and the back four pretty much picked itself.

Yago Santiago in the squad. Hopefully he gets a few minutes once we go 3-0 up.

 

[ClemFandango]

If the Spammers do us a favour as well, we could potentially end up 3rd and only a point behind Woolwich.

Let’s hope Richarlison continues his good form.

 

[ClemFandango]

Hhmm…

 

[ClemFandango]

That’s going to be given.

 

[Yid]

Ffs...

That's fucking ridiculous...

Silly cunt...

 

[Yid]

Clear goal scoring opportunity... Could be a red...

 

[Yid]

It's gonna be a long Jan/Feb...

This makeshift defence/midfield is no where near good enough to compete...with Brighton.

 

[Yid]

GLC needs to be on that park... He might ask some questions.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

I don’t think we’ve had one decent player in that half, except Vicario.

 

[Yid]

Brighton have been superb...

We've not asked them enough questions. No where near their level.

No argument there. Nothing to lose by making some half time changes really. Why not give Veliz a chance to shine ?

If we don’t pull one back early then things could get worse

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Well that is that then.

 

[ClemFandango]

Yup, I’m out.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Brennan Johnson does nothing for me and I question his bravery.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

This is just one of those days.

 

[J.spurs]

If Romero had committed that challenge Dunk just did he’d have been sent off.
