Forums:

What can we expect from this game? Will the players be stung enough by defeat last week to the bottom team to put in a performance? Will they be playing to try to save Sam's job, and do they care? It's said that they are already on their sun-beds, but if I suspected that of a player I'd want him fined a week's wages for every time he didn't give 100%! "We won't change our attacking play" says the manager. Well, we will see, but if we are badly defeated by Stoke, the clamour to replace the manger might just get too loud for G&S to resist. I'm hoping for a good win. COYI!!!!!

Two mid table teams playing for very little so I expect a low effort affair with less intensity than usual. I don't see many goals in this game either so a 1-0 win either way is my prediction. Hopefully, a long awaited win for the hammers!

It all depends on the players giving their full effort, and Big Sams Substitutions.

A win would be very welcome.

I think we will lose this one 1-0 but hope we can win it. Sam will stay either way as I cannot see them getting rid until his contract expires

I really think our players have started thinking of next season and they are fully expecting a new man coming in. The side can't wait for the season to end. I thought the secon part of the season would be a lot less exciting but never expected us to be so poor and disinterested. Now a lot of people are blaming Allardyce but the players have take a long look at themselves as I cant see the hunger from the first 18/19 games. My prediction a draw 1 - 1 Stoke getting the equalizer around 60th minute from there on both sides will settle for the point.

All the joy has faded from this season for me,it has been a real anti-climax,just waiting for it to end and Allardyce gone.I've reached a point where I don't give a toss what the results will be now as the team is safe,but if current form continues it could well be another defeat today against Stoke.Having said that,a return of the dynamic duo playing together up front ,Valencia/Sakho ,could well be enough to get the victory but with Allardyce in charge who knows what will happen,with the lineup he is going to put out and what tactics he is going to implement.

Sam HAS to start with 2 up front, and I DON'T mean Cole and Nolan! Sakho and Valencia must start, and a start for Amalfitano too. Go back to the diamond with Downing at the tip, he's wasted out wide, allow our full-backs to sweep forward like we were in our purple patch. Sam has to know that a dour performance, even if we win by the odd goal will do nothing to save his job. A buccaneering might just. Don't think Sam does buccaneering though...

Collins out with dislocated shoulder!?? When did this happen? We needed his strength in defence against the stoke brutes

we will win this and if Nolan is playing i will have a job to get enough enthusiasm to watch, which will be the first one i have missed all season.
