What sort of west ham team today

Keen has said any player out of contract won't play also wonder if any player they have to sell will play in case injury prevents a transfer in the summer
seem to remember Safc not playing some players in the final games of the 15 / 19 pointers

There has been talk of Keen bedding in players who are likely to play for them next season

Seems like they will be putting out a makeshift team with a bunch of youngsters. Hope that means Bruce decides to give Ryan Noble a start.

WHU will rip us to shreds today. As its the players chance to deflect the blame for relegation onto Grant/Board. Theyll claiming it was Grant and his dodgy selections/tactics/training that put them down if they stuff us and pretending theyd be stuffing everyone if Zola was still there etc.

If he does that then it is a very clever move. It essentially puts him in a win-win situation with Grant getting the blame either way.

If they win then they go into next season with a spring in their step knowing that, despite the shite of this season they have a few decent kids to hang their hat on in the Championship and they can say 'look what could have been under Grant, but instead he signed all that over-priced shite'.

But if they lose then they say it was only kids, shows how bad a state the club is in after Grant, we're bottom anyway so it doesn't matter etc...

I would rather be playing their normal, dispirited, under-performing, over-paid and over-hyped XI then a hungry team of local kids today.
