[Archived] West Ham Versus Blackburn Rovers

[RibbleValleyRover]

bit surprised reid in and carlos not!! bit more gutted actually!

Better to introduce Carlos slowly into the prem you feel and according to Ince he is far from being fully fit. Hopefully we can get a decent lead with say 20 mins to go and we bring him on.

[Doaksie]

What price an Andrews winner to help justify Ince's judgement? Wonder if he'll make an appearance today, hopefully not at the expense of Carlos!

It was never between those two for a spot. Carlos would have been vying with Roberts possibly.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Carlos played for 90 mins on wed. Not really very smart to throw him in the starting 11 in his first prem game away from home after that.

[Wolves_Rover]

Emo on right wing again, we need a new RM desperately.

From BBC Sport live text:

1439: According to Motty, stewarding has been increased at Upton Park today around the dug-outs because of the West Ham fans' expected reaction towards Rovers boss Paul Ince. Could be tasty.

1437: "Paul Ince is about to have the worst day of his life. Upton Park is the one place that is a no-go zone for Paul Ince. Can't wait to see how he handles himself today but there are some great chants made for him today!"

Feel a bit uneasy with Andre at right back. Hope Emo does a lot of tracking back this game!

[Mr. E]

looks like a very weak line up. But prove me wrong, Ince.

[dopper69]

Grella booked already 5mins

[DeadlyDirk]

Bad tackle, not going to be his last booking for us I presume, could have been a red to be honest.

[Sysagent]

Sounds a good game!

EDIT: 1- 0 down...

Mental Note: Must keep my mouth shut.

[sambo]

Wonderful.

SNN says Robbo should have come to collect it, typical.

[dopper69]

1-0 west ham - robinson didnt come for cross apparentley. Callum Davenport 6 yards

[Lathund]

Looked like Davenport was Samba's man, but he was nowhere near and it was Nelsen who challenged him, but not well enough.. Robinson was halfway out and then hesitated.

[Mr. E]

"omg is robisnosn also rsponcible for teh holcaust?"

"oh, you just hate him so much cause your liek prejeduce!"

"Robbo is doing well"

[Sysagent]

Mmm look's like Mr Riley is maintaining his standard of refereeing up, denied us a goal opportunity and then Pedersen fluffs the free kick.

[dopper69]

Mike Reilly having a shocker, Davenport pulled Roberts back as last man - no card

[Alex Rover]

1-0 west ham - robinson missed cross

Just watching the match from abroad. Poor goal to concede after bossing the game. Winterburn Out etc.

[Dan]

Roberts receives a pass from Santa Cruz that he should have had a shot with, but instead just dilly dally. Please can someone tell me how this big oaf skillless oaf is keeping Derbs out of the team???!

Paul Robinson IS a vampire. Official.

[Sysagent]

Santa possibly injured

[dopper69]

Oh god no Cruz seems hurt - Derbs warming up

[Sysagent]

Ashton 2 - 0 down...

History repeats itself

(possible own goal by Samba)

[dopper69]

2-0

[sambo]

Disgusting.

[bubblerrovers]

Watching game and seriously worried about Robinson looks terrible against corners, i can see us losing a few goals if he doesn't improve
