Let's see where we can go with Frank at the helm for a full year of Prem Football,if he's ambitious, which he is, I'd expect him to get what he needs, England could well be calling by that time.Well see in time.

He's currently fourth favourite for the West Ham job when Nuno gets the boot, which is thought to be imminent. I think Frank will stay with us at least until the end of this season.

Yeah I alluded to that possibility in an earlier post, although not directly.West ham will have to do West ham things but knobling another team's promotion be that player's or manager smacks of desperation to me.

What matters is will we continue or callapse? Can't see any kind of callapse tbh. Drop off here and there as pressure mounts but I don't see any other team in this division anyway threatening us. Top two is the aim.

I agree with most of that Pete. Disapointments for me this year are:
Wright. Without his early season form we wouldn’t be where we are but I’d like to see him have more bench time to hopefully keep him hungry.
Rudoni. Set the bar very high last year. I’m sure he’ll get back there eventually.
Sakomoto. Great to watch when he’s 100% but knowing just what he’s capable of I want that every game.
MVE. Not so much dissapointed as I’d like to give one word of advice. “SHOOOOT”

Rushworth - 9 quite simply brilliant must have secured almost 10 points. Still some whinging with his distribution, not for me
Mve - 8 for me so important to how we play and he gets Thomas and Kitching out of so much trouble. Has had some poor games by his standards
Dasilva - 7.5 absolute revelation compared to last season
Thomas - 8 not as many goals as I’d hoped but an absolute man mountain and passing coming on
Kitching - 8 same as above I think him playing with Dasilva regularly has helped them both
Grimes - 9.5 the heartbeat of the team, leader and captain
Torp - 8.5 gaining strength and stamina to his significant talent on the ball. His dribbling the length of the pitch is becoming a regular thing
Saka - 7.5 struggling to find his absolute class and at times has been loathed to take his player on. Brilliant dribbler
Emc - 8.5 could easily be the difference between record points and just promotion. So many important goals, most chances created etc etc
Rudoni - 7 not reached the heights of last year. Will be such an important player in the second half of the season
Wright - 7.5 started off like a train and has had some in and out performances but still one of the best strikers in the league
Simms - 7 stepped up with a quite wonderful month of goals and performances
Bta - 8.5 revelation. Added goals to his energy. Missing him and hope he comes back in the same form
Kkh - 7 still not seen the best of him but what a player to bring on to see out a game
Woolf - 7 see above. Seems to have found his feet last 2 games
Allen - 7 love his energy when coming on last 15 mins. Not a starter anymore
Eccles 7.5 again think he will be an important player for us second half of the season
Bidwell - 6 no longer has the pave but has the heart of a lion as shown against Ipswich
Brau - 6 looks lively but clearly Lampard still requires him to do more in training to get game time
Andrews 6.5 looks like he has pace and confidence imagine if we bring someone in he will be going out on loan
Lati - 6 great we have players who won’t rock the boat when they’re not getting game time
Wilson - 6 excellent mascot can see him staying around as the third keeper irrespective of the league next year

Lampard - 9.5 what a job he has done, well him and the coaches. Most impressive when not blowing people away that we keep finding a way

Doug King - 9.5 can he pull it off!!!

nb I’m sure I’ve missed someone
Julian Gray?

Even if they weren’t likely to get relegated, he wouldn’t go to West Ham.
There's real bitterness between he and their fan base after the bile he received upon moving to Chelsea. Even when he played for them he was subject to harsh criticism as was always compared to his club legend Dad. Went on to be a greater player at Chelsea and the Irons can't handle it.

Considering what MvE's shooting has been like this season when he has, I can see why he doesn't!

Sky Blue Sam watch out Ben's after your job!

Not a lot to disagree with there Pete. I'd probably give Lampard and coaches a 10
I'll give them 11 and maybe Dean Austin deserves a 10 too.

As I said yesterday history is no predictor of the future. Our form ( ball possession, goals scored, chances created etc ) has not been at the same level throughout Dec. We can all see that.

Last night was our worst perf of the season.

I’m not saying we won’t go up, my god I hope we do, but I do think it’s far from inevitable and fans talking about our signings needing to be Prem league ready should know better. Leagues are not decided in Dec.
