Wed, 21 Mar 2012 11:59:58 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/20/vote-player-performances-v-middlesbrough-2/#IDComment321093028 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/19/purge-your-negative-thoughts-get-behind-the-team/#IDComment319822285 Well I hope the crowd do shout themselves hoarse tomorrow night, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the way at The Boleyn ground anymore. I will certainly shout myself hoarse at Burnley on Saturday, but I will be amongst 2 or 3k like minded supporters. Standing up and shouting your support at home matches just doesn't seem to happen, unless it's a local derby or the likes of Spurs/Manu visiting. Sad but true.

We have 10 games that we are capable of winning, but BS must get the tactics right and encourage the team to play with a positive attitude, particularly at home. With the likes of 'boro, Brighton, Brum and Hull still to visit it gives us a chance to play some decent football, as these teams will not come and park the bus. I still feel we can make the auto spots, we should do as this, IMO, is a very poor league. So, COYI, let's give the team our support on the run in and get back to the promised land, we can then debate the changes we all know that we will need to make.

Our home form is a worry, but home or away he really does need to be positive and go for victories, otherwise we are destined for the play off lottery.

Not having seen the game it sounds like we were a tad negative, when surely we should be going all out for wins now? Off to Burnley next Saturday and will hopefully see a positive display; draws just won't do now.

Let's hope the guy is ok. Sounds like the Spurs fans showed great dignity as well, praise where praise is deserved.

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:10:02 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/11/twelve-things-we-learned-from-the-doncaster-game/#IDComment313687840 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/11/twelve-things-we-learned-from-the-doncaster-game/#IDComment313464348 Love the sentiment in your last sentence, but it just ain't going to happen under BS! Sun, 11 Mar 2012 08:54:28 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/11/twelve-things-we-learned-from-the-doncaster-game/#IDComment313464348 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/10/vote-player-performances-v-doncaster-rovers-2/#IDComment313116513 No one said it would be easy (actually some did at the start of the season) but drawing at home to Watford and Doncaster is not promotion form. We have a decent squad for this division, but, as we have said many a time, we lack a creative edge. So I find it hard to fathom why Collins came on at 1-1 and not Morrison? We can still do it, but we really need to keep up our decent away form, as it seems we play like Rabbits caught in headlights at home.

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:31:17 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/10/match-preview-west-ham-v-doncaster-rovers/#IDComment312909720 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/10/match-preview-west-ham-v-doncaster-rovers/#IDComment312907012 Agree Devo, probably our best line up at the moment, but still not a great deal of creativity to break down a stubborn defence, so maybe, just maybe Morrison may get a chance? Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:25:08 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/10/match-preview-west-ham-v-doncaster-rovers/#IDComment312907012 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/09/my-first-game-brian-jones/#IDComment312903952 Hi BJ, you started going around the same time as me, so similar memories of those times. You jogged my memory my mentioning Blackpool, as I seem to remember a great evening game against them when Don Hutchinson tormented us all night; seem to remember that it ended 3-3? Enjoy your trip to the Reading game, let's hope you get a good display. Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:17:59 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/09/my-first-game-brian-jones/#IDComment312903952 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/07/match-thread-west-ham-v-watford/#IDComment310754891 Same old story. Sorry but off to bed, need to be up at 04:00. I hope I wake up to some better news. Wed, 7 Mar 2012 21:18:07 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/07/match-thread-west-ham-v-watford/#IDComment310754891 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/07/match-thread-west-ham-v-watford/#IDComment310723223 Well that seemed a little lacklustre. I think we have mentioned it before, but we really do need a creative midfielder to open up teams at home. Not so bad when we are away as teams feel obliged to attack us, but a real problem at home IMO. Wed, 7 Mar 2012 20:39:32 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/07/match-thread-west-ham-v-watford/#IDComment310723223 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/05/my-first-game-holly-braine/#IDComment308892509 Your Dad sounds like a sound man Holly; he obviously did a better job with you than I did with my two daughters, although to be fair my youngest (23) does still attend the odd away game with me. Once it's in the blood it's certainly difficult to dislodge! Mon, 5 Mar 2012 21:33:24 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/05/my-first-game-holly-braine/#IDComment308892509 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/05/results-player-performances-v-cardiff-2/#IDComment308880210 Agree with all that, except the bit around CC. I thought he looked really lethargic and this seemed to coincide with Cardiff's best spell. I personally would like to see a Maynard/Baldock combo, but I just can't see BS trying it out. Mon, 5 Mar 2012 21:16:45 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/05/results-player-performances-v-cardiff-2/#IDComment308880210 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/04/ten-things-we-learned-from-today/#IDComment307907479 Agree with most of that Iain. Although reading through the comments on the previous threads I think Maynard has got a bit of a raw deal. I thought he worked really hard and deserved a goal for his efforts. Also, as one of Nolan's detractors can I say that I thought he had a really good game today. Not sure what is wrong with Colly, but like others I think he could do with a rest. Overall a good solid TEAM performance. Sun, 4 Mar 2012 17:57:39 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2012/03/04/ten-things-we-learned-from-today/#IDComment307907479
