West Ham has some sort of child model in their number 9. Football is no career for this beatific cherub. I’d like to see him and our own number 9 (Makienok) together in a winter forest themed fashion shoot.
'I wonder what the spatial diagrammatic of every movement traced over the duration of the match would look like – a rainbowed kinetic map. I’ll make one. I try to sketch one minute of the match at the 70 minute mark as a test interpretation of this idea, but it didn’t turn out very well, and later a fly defecated on it. Next time I’ll bring glitter pens.'
Oh good, I wanted to know what the game looks like through the eyes of a female student writer seemingly on shrooms...
This is very invigorating! The crowed are bolstered by this very performative offering from Charlton and we even applaud at the end of our own choruses.
You ought to take football more seriously. There is a nervous reaction between our players when they are confronted by defenders on the half-way line on the wing. Our man has the ball at his feet, hammers it three yards, and gets it back.
This is a ricochet. It is not a pass. Meanwhile, the opponents intercept and are away, advancing, pulling back, spreading wide and swinging crosses in the box.
We simply don't have the mental or physical ability to fight in the Championship. All that dancing over the Dutch caps on the touchline in front of 15,000 fans - don't you think those fitness tests should have been earlier, out of sight?
May I give you another example? At half time in the FA Cup against Blackburn at The Valley last year, Callum Harriott ignored the stretching regime, ran over to Nick Pope, did a sort of dodge-and-weave, then flicked his ears.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Valley pitch, the Blackburn reserve keeper was kept on his toes by his coach: three yards' hammering in to the midriff, quicker and closer.

Our players are girls. And we lost, 1-0.
Difficult job for Luzon, (or any manager) taking a bunch of players who probably never even heard of each other until a couple of weeks ago, and making a team out of them. A few disappointments to come in the next few weeks I would expect.
For a pre-season friendly this was quite an entertaining game. I thought all the new aquisitions showed promise and should, with further game time, improve, especially their understanding of the strengths, weaknesses and movement of their teammates . I take the yardstick that it takes 8-10 competitive games to bed players in to show their full potential, so fans should be prepared for early season hiccups. It may be a blessing in disguise that our early fixtures are tough and the team may be given some leeway by the fans. I still want to see more energy from the whole team in closing down the opposition quickly when the ball is lost, to regain possession. This is an area of play that is crucial in the Championship, as the weaker teams use this to their advantage, to put pressure on their opponents. So good teams, which I hope we develop into, must match that endevour. Then the class will tell.

I do take football seriously, probably too seriously in the scheme of things; but I can't take you seriously. Sorry! For spot on analysis I veer towards the likes of Kevin Nolan or our own Scoham on here. With all due respect if I took your views seriously I'd need therapy - how on earth do we contrive to win any football match with such an inadequate, ill trained rabble?

Didnt we lose 2-1 against Blackburn in the FA Cup rather than 1-0

Facts are not as funny as random out and out lies. Leave him be, it is comic gold.
I though Makeniok was our best player yesterday, he certainly won a good few headers and his first touch was very good. He scuffed a chance in the 1st half but other than that he looked promising. Solly played really well (that tackle in the 2nd half was brilliant). Bauer looked really solid in defence but I thought Diarra looked shaky.
Watt was frustrating yesterday, his should have finished those two chances but he was around for them to finish. Him and Makeniok needs to work better together.
The finishing from both teams were poor but it looked a very good workout for us.

Look VF, I know you've put a lot of work into this bollocks, and don't think the effort's been lost on us, but Charlton Aesthetic is just better at constructing unnecessarily drawn-out descriptive sentences, and she's much funnier than you when she does it. I'm sorry buddy, but she's where we turn for ludicrous nonsense prose now. It's over.

was at the game was very impressed by Bauer he was very dominant , at 6ft5 he should be but all the same impressed. thought pope looked a completely diff keeper was bossing his area looked the keeper his early promise showed.
Ba - was busy around the pitch showed some nice touches and tenacious in the tackle him and cousins were good partnership kashi - lucky not to get booked IMO his tacklew tih first touch was poor and was sat right next to west ham dug out and Bilic was fuming . other than that didnt really make much impact for me Makienok - good touches but partbership with watt gonna take time we must give them time
liked the look of charles -c ook too he played well.
Ba looked alright, fully expect him to play a big role this season if he remains fit. Not sure Watt is 100% up to speed yet. Happy to start with Pope against QPR, but we NEED a proper CB to partner Bauer. Fox and Solly both did well. Pleasing to see so many of our academy products playing towards the end against a PL side (granted a weakened side) but still.
from those highlights i'm optimistic. Just need that finishing touch that may well come with games. Looks like we were the better team for much of the game.

Will be good to see what highlights are on CAFC player over the next couple of days.
I like our forwards but simple tap ins will be our problem again.
