• What with getting a last minute 'lucky' point and NO pts from the last 6 on offer AND Moyes going back to WHam, the order of business will be...1) Don't Lose!2) Don't loseand 3) Deffo don't lose**...and (maybe try) to Pinch 1A wall of 4 (3.5?) containing Keane almost 95% guarantees a lowish block. 5% Patterson starts, though Garner has more chance.And I would also not rule out No Barry at all and a version of the arl 4:6 formation.Edit; Moyes will justify no wild experimentation as being fair to the other team in the drop zone...

• Grow up Mr. Kearns: 'is H a redshite troll?'This seems to be your natural modus operandi whenever you sniff something you don't - usually unreasonably, unfairly, and wrongly - like.As for 'disparaging': if that title is in any shape or form 'disparaging', which it is not, then 7/10 of the stuff on here is 'red shite troll' 'disparaging'. Grow up lad....
  Paul Griffiths in As Moyes returns to West Ham, is history repeating itself for old dog who won’t try new tricks?
• We’ve got a young kid knocking them in for fun and a slightly older kid that couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo. Surely Braiden has earned some minutes in the first team before the end of the season. Get him on the weights preseason and he could be the new Tony Cottee....

• Dean Johnson (10): ‘Destroy a young player before they're ready... that's what’.Barry is 24 in the Autumn. He is not a ‘young player’. He is in or near to the middle part of his career. This is what we have. A player who has come through the development cycle of the ‘young’ player and he is, well, not very good. His Derby run-out was nothing short of appalling. In a world where all options are on the table he should be as far from starting as I am from Erbil.However, I’ve watched David Moyes OBE grow and develop since 2002 from being Moyes mark 1 back then to becoming Moyes mark 1 now. He will pick Barry. The interesting thing for me is who will replace hopeless and hapless Barry when he is subbed or what sparkling out-of-the-box tactical rethinking by our DM saves the day.If I was in DM’s shoes tomorrow because he took the day off to buy up all of the available footy cards in which he appears so no one will ever see one again:https://www.tumblr.com/scotsf...

• It’s a totally different game playing out wide Mark, especially when you’re a 6foot 5inch, unit, and if he never had good concentration levels then I don’t believe O’Brien, could have played the position for so long the way he has done. He has switched off a few times, another was the goal that wolves scored (I think) but the biggest problem I have watching Everton, playing with O’Brien, at fullback, is that he often stays back, and he sometimes stays narrow, and this means that whoever plays in front of him has to do an incredible amount of running....

• If Moyes plays George or Charlie up front tomorrow I’ll eat my hat. You can put your house on the fact he’ll play Barry despite knowing he’s gonna offer nothing up top and just skulk around the pitch. C’mon Davey, show us your metal...
