Like Bourmemouth in the round before, West Ham have rested their best 11.

Sensible move, staying in the PL means everything financially to clubs.

Zabateta, Ogbonna, Masuaka, Chicarito, Obiang all started.

If it finishes 0 - 0 there will be a replay at The Amex, which means more game time for our squad players to improbe thir match fitness. That must be a positive.

Lets be fair, is it reasonablle to expect players who only play 4 or 5 competitive matches over a 6 month period to be "up to speed"? Having U23 development leagues reather than proper reserve team leagues (I remember The Pontins League) make it edifficult for squad players who play few first team games to become/remain "match fit".
Another game for us to watch too if it remains level.

Happy days, I love match days.

Edit: boo!

Wasn't boro's budget not too far below ours?

They have the PL riches of last season, we are playing a mostly seond string, it's away from home...

Don't know why people are expecting us to roll over them. Clayton, Howson, Traore, Gibson, Assombalonga all decent players..
