Playing without the captain, too.
The worst thing about Taylor and Green's sendings off is that it has restricted Allardyce's ability to assess a Nolan-less West Ham 11.  I really don't know whether Nolan deserves his place (not least due to not seeing enough games), but I suspect his biggest strength is his attitude and ability to lead the players to play the Allardyce way... but maybe he's done that job.  In fact, maybe Allardyce has seen enough from 10 men - maybe the rest of the squad have learnt what they need from Nolan and don't need him any more.
