With absolutely NO disrespect meant against tomorrow evening's EPL Cup opponents Lincoln City, Hammers manager David Moyes MUST give Divin Mubama a starting slot in the line up should the match go ahead, Storm Agnes permitting. The manager might start Danny ings, but if he does the attack will be devoid of pace, therefore the only way to make up for Ings' lack of speed would be to have Ings AND Mubama start together in a shift from Moyes' preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
Mohammed Kudus will surely start as will 'Stan the Man' or Konstantinos Mavropanos for those who have their teeth in and like a lot of syllables! Both players will be itching to play having been 'subjected' to the Irons manager's 'easing in' policy.
Elsewhere, Ben Johnson will most likely be deployed at left back while Thilo Kehrer would operate at right back. Angelo Ogbonna, despite his howler in the Europa League Cup, will deputise for Kurt Zouma and captain the team. Conor Coventry will be looking to start as a DM alongside Tomas Soucek who would add some experience in midfield.
With 'Fabbo' in goal, Johnson, Ogbonna, Mavropanos and Kehrer in defence, Coventry and Soucek in defensive midfield and Kudus, Ings and Mubama one place remains which could be taken by Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma or possibly George Earthy.
Who knows, Moyes might spring a surprise by including one or more of the other crop of brilliant youngsters currently coming through the ranks. Obviously Moyes needs to respect the opposition and should have a strong bench in case things go pear shaped, but with game time so hard to dish out to youth players in the Premier League Wednesday night would seem like an ideal opportunity to give some of them a go, that is if 'Agnes' behaves herself! - Ed

Fuck the football
Let's get behind one of our own! Russell Brand..I fucking believe him,anyone that campaigns for the carpenters estate us ok by me!! At least he's got the bollocks to stick up for himself!! All these clints in govt etc who covered up REAL Nonces are out to destroy him...I know what its like when people turn against you cos they think you're weak..THEYRE THE WEAK ONE
HES GOT 11 MILLION FOLLOWERS FFS..What are we all wrong!!Wake up & Smell the coffee
There does seem to be an
There does seem to be an acute agenda against Brand. Whilst not condoning all his 'supposed' offences it should be remembered that in this country you are innocent until proven guilty. I should also add that probably over 50% of the people I knew in the music industry would have fallen foul of the law at some point in time, they could also be part of a historic witch hunt. I am not sure where the line is supposed to be drawn, but there are a lot of people in glass houses who are doing the shouting at the moment, could they be trying to hide their own indiscrections I wonder?
Totally agree Nev
Apologies for the profanity...we all know about historical abuse its well documented!!:I actually wasn't his biggest fan back in the day,massive ego & all that...but it wasn't until a couple of years back that I found out he campaigned rigoursly for the residents at the Carpenters! Agree or disagree with the move ( I actually now can see the massive benefit of the stadium & kudos to my friend Dartford for KTF!!).. Going back to Russell Brand,innocent or guilty I'm no judge,barrister,or copper ( they are ony HUMAN AFTER ALL!)
I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR STICKING UP FOR HIMSELF IN A POWER CRAZED WORLD THATs MORE SEEDIER & CORRUPT THAN ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY BELIEVE...But that's my opinion & my opinion alone..COYI,up the apples & pears & all that old CAPER....
Btw
I knew one of his girlfriends,mistresses or whatever around 20 years ago,didn't last long from what I gather I was too busy working to be fair TO REALLY CARE..
BUT they had nothing but good things to say! I was brought up to take people at face value.but hey ho maybe I'm OLD Skool eh!! Apologies for invading the thread Nev..but I'm on a mission of late!!;) ;)
I never understand
The need for a "strong bench". Why not put a full team out in the first place, annihilate the opposition n the first half hour, THEN send on the boys to show what they can do?
Strong bench
Or splinters in your arse!!
Ings
Surely by now even moyes must see that ings is a total waste of gametime,give mobama a starting place ,and show some faith in the youngsters, before man city or Newcastle snap up more of our talent
