Winston Reid is all set to return to the heart of the Hammers defence for Sunday’s trip to red hit Championship favourites Leicester City.
That was the good news from inside the Irons camp this morning on after a night against Manchester United when the team left the back door open at times and paid the price.
ClaretandHugh learned this morning that Reid was ruled out of the FA Cup replay after he reported a muscle tightness in the hamstring area.
We were told: “It wasn’t the hamstring itself but nobody was prepared to take any chances. However, he is looking okay for Sunday which everybody is seeing as a very winnable game.”
Diafra Sakho won’t make the game with the club continuing to maintain publicly that he has suffered a recurrence of an old muscle injury.
We were told: “Sak should be back and okay for the game against Watford on the 20th of the month.”
There were a lot of people slating Reid off after the arsenal game. He was sorely missed last night. Antonio needs to be moved forward asap…. Was a liability last night and against arsenal at the weekend.
Ogbonna and Tomkins were not that bad at the back,Antonio was caught out and they attacked him knowing he was not a natural right back,
Byram at right back and Tomo or Ginge next to Ogbonna for me,
Antonio back to the right in front of Byram same side minus Valencia plus Byram
Lanzini on the left with Payet in a more central role,
Ried needs more time and marking Vardy is not the time
Slightly off track from above dut why is our sqaud so tired are they unfit or over training don’t see the same levels of fatique in other sqauds. If we really are aiming for champions leaque or Europe leaque we will play a lot more games and on current fitness levels will need another 10 players in the squad to rotate thoughts!
Reid is a liability we should have sold him when he chucked his toys a while back, he’s average championship standard.and that’s the first time Antonio has had a struggle when filling in so need to give him a break.
My thoughts exactly, No.6.
I don’t believe you lot, first game we have lost in ages and you start slagging them off, Give it a rest and get behind the lads, I have this feeling we will beat Leicester on Sunday and that will be the start of their decline, they have 3 very loseable games at the end of the season, the two Mancs clubs have additional fixtures so will tire probably and we can take advantage of that and end up 4th or even 3rd if the gooners slip up.
So a very good season , one we couldn’t envisage last August, rejoice and support and see what comes

Totally agree.Been a super season.To be fair though this couple of moans is nothing in comparison to Wetpants for the last 36 hours who have in the main ripped Bilic & the team a new asshole.
They are idiots,this last time last year we were fighting to stay up and they wanted Fatty the Hippo to get a new contract,
When I read the rubbish they print some times you have to wonder if they have a clue about the game of football,
Antonio made one mistake and found out at the back you can’t make those mistakes,he has been brilliant in our side since getting his chance,
Adrien has made a couple of mistakes this year but other wise a good keeper,Randolf should have been replaced by Green according to the wetties before he played 1 game now he is better then Adrien,I rate them about even but Adrien has played very well for over 2 years for us,
Ogbonna was rubbish according to the wet bandits when he arrived and a waste of money now he is number 1 defender,
They blow with the wind,we have a good squad and great youngsters coming in we need 4 class player coming in loan players going back,stick by our true way of playing and we will have some great years in front of us,
Well only a few wanted Hippohead to get a new contract to be honest bubs.Trouble is mate there is no middle ground.We win we will be CL winners next season,we lose we are sh#te.Kneejerk reactions from one game to the next,lol 😀
