Pissed of entirely that Bob can't make it. Even when he's not on top form, he does cover some ground and pressurises the opposition more than most.
Also, it minimises the effect of Studge , as I was hoping he would replace Origi, who as we know has been pretty woeful of late. Now with Studge and Origi likely to start, Studge won't have the same effect alongside Origi as he might have had along side Bob.
All little snippets of negative, chipping away at our effectiveness.
The only positive is Hammers are suffering as many injuries as we are. Hopefully with whats left of the two squads, we have the better players still up and running comparatively speaking.
Not over confident, but thinking we will get the win if the attitude is right. It's tough to turn it on, when the team mates you usually play with are not available, and you now have to play with lads you only usually play AGAINST in training. Professional or not, you're not always on the same mental wavelength in those situations.
Heres hoping anyway. C.O.Y.M RED MEN. LETS DO IT !
