Reply | Fourth Round Here We Come Match Thread
at 19:59 11 Jan 2026
I’ve seen a few comments on social media about it being an opportunity missed.
If we had a full strength team with Edward’s playing and going at it like vs Leicester then maybe, but we didn’t have any of that and they were bringing on £20-£30m signings as subs while we had DS players. Those are the differences between the Championship and PL.
Even at 2-1 down and having to get a goal, you still have to be careful about going hung-ho and getting caught on the counter, it’s a very fine balance. I think free kicks and corners were our best chance of getting a goal back without risking conceding a 3rd but West Ham dug in when we had those opportunities |

On the tube home. Not read any comments yet but nothing to be ashamed of today.
West Ham weren’t all that and will go down. Probably had a bit more pace than us but that’s about it.
They had to go to extra time against a mid table Championship team and persistently fouling us every time we broke forward, that’s how desperate they were.
I thought the team gave their all, Kolli really worked his socks off. Kone was looking a little bereft, then scored! The defence linked up well and passed their way out of trouble comfortably.
Walsh had a good game too, not at fault for either goal.
We had other chances but just missed that cutting edge.
QPR fans excellent and everyone saying how bad the ground is, is right. Awful place to watch football. So hard to get any atmosphere. Hardly heard them when the first scored and then heard them more fo the second, that’s how desperate they were.
The stadium is made out of a steel frame with higher gaps all over the place and any filled in gaps was just tarpaulin so the wind whistled around the ground, no protection at all. |

VAR should be in at the beginning or not at all. Bring it in half way through is ridiculous.... probably because they think all us little upstarts will be out by then and it's just the big boys left who are used to it.
Same in the Championship, not used all season but is used in the Play Off Final, and look what good it did for Huddersfield who were robbed not once but twice. |

Got the emails (two), accessed them via my phone, clicked on the link, chose 'chrome' then 'add' and voila, both now in my 'wallet'.
Still gonna get there early just in case there are any delays as i don't want to be stuck outside with my 11 year old son then when we do get in, some plank will be in our seats and refusing to move with the usual "find annova seat yaaa caaaant". |

Reply | W Ham losing last night good or bad thing?
at 11:44 7 Jan 2026
West Ham need a win, any win, as they haven't had one in god knows how long so the Manager's job is on the line and the natives are getting restless.
I think a West Ham win last night might have given them a little breathing room so I think Forest winning is not good for us.
I'd be surprised if they play a weakened team plus, as said, they've got new players they'll want to bed in as quickly as possible.
Anyways, we have no control over what oppositions do, we just got to sort out our own team/strategy etc. and go from there. |

As far as I'm aware he has/had no connections to QPR so I would not wish him well or unwell any more than anyone else who manages that club.
I remember his Dad playing, who played 38 games for QPR, but as far as Liam goes it's a complete 'meh'. |

Yeah, the injuries (especially to Burrell) have dampened things a tad. Was looking forward to hopefully seeing him run at them.
Really don't know how it could pan out. I've already explained to my son that we are playing a PL team so kind of getting the excuses in early if we do end up losing!
I'm going there with a view that if we lose it's kind of expected (for so many reasons) and not going to be too despondent about it. BTW - I'm not being defeatist before anyone tries to jump down my throat!
If we do manage to get a positive result out of the game then it will be a day to remember. |

Amorim pretty much got himself sacked (on purpose?...) when he said he's a Manager not a Coach.
I guess a lot depends on what basis he was employed as. If it was as a Manager and people above were meddling in team selections/tactics etc then I get his frustration. If he was employed as a Coach then he shouldn't have taken the job if he wants to be a Manager and by taking the job, means you accept those terms.
Once he came out and said what he said, it was pretty much over for him.
Still, it's Man U so.... guffaw! |

"win and it's what you were supposed to do, anything else and you'll get hammered for it"
That sums up pretty much every game.
I'd bet the traffic on here is lighter when we win and a lot heavier when we lose as you have all & sundry talking about the starting XI, the tactics, the subs, the individual players, the manager and so on. Things that get talked about much less when we've won because we've won.
We could have the right starting XI, the right tactics, the right subs and so on and somehow not win and it's all-out mayhem on here.
Yet you could have the wrong starting XI, the wrong tactics, the wrong subs and so on and somehow manage to win but that's OK, because that is what is wanted. |

Reply | Opposition players you always rated then they came to us........
at 12:28 5 Jan 2026
Although he did very well to shake off two defenders, I thought it wasn't a particularly good cross by Hoilett, straight to Keogh rather than to Austin or Zamora (but I am accounting for the fact he had two defenders right on him).
It was fortuitous for us that Keogh fluffed it up allowing Zamora to pounce.
As for rating opposition players, then they came to us....... there's a whole list around the early 10's that just phoned it in once the ink was dry on very, very lucrative contracts. Fkin mercenaries, the lot of them.

Has anyone got their tickets yet?
I had an email from QPR confirming the purchase and seat no's but not a PDF (with a barcode/QR code etc) or anything that I usually expect. |

This isn’t a ‘must win’ game in terms of points needed but by heck we do need to win it in terms of morale especially as West Ham are getting tonked at so far winless Wolves and we could do with going into the cup game on a bit of a high. |

Well, exactly, it’s all a waste of time IMO.
I don’t bother with pre and post match manager interviews because they are simply not going to give anything away (and not should they) and it’s just formula answers to formula questions, repeated 45+ times a season.
“Do you think the opposition team should have had a penalty?”
“Oh no…” [furiously tugs ear lobe] “it was a clean tackle and I didn’t see anything wrong with it”
The manager is hardly going to say that the player was taken out, stonewall penalty and a sending off.
Same with MoTD, so much air time given to post match analysis (just show more match minutes), all a waste of time. I can see for myself thanks. Yet they get paid huge amounts for what amounts to pub talk and ‘bantz’.
