Firstly, West Ham were deserved winners tonight – we created a number of chances but in truth didn’t really look like putting many away.

We had a pretty decent first half, and I think we worried the Hammers a few times, but conceding the goal on half time was a killer. In the second half, McCleish bought on fresh legs, however we conceded at that time and that was game over.

I saw enough tonight to think that West Ham have enough to stay up.

So what about us, I think we missed Chucho’s hustle and bustle and speed. I’m still not convinced that Jerome is the deal.

A number of players looked jaded, which considering they have played most of our games this season – that isn’t too surprising. We did look lack lustre and we definitely could have done with a “Cole” in our side.

However I’m not too upset. Our safety is just about assured, and our season has been a pretty successful one. I can quite happily let this one go – obviously put my fingers in my ears and go “LA LA LA” which DS spouts off about the biggest club etc.

My main concern is that certain Blues fans will start moaning about things just because we lost one game. IT IS NOT the end of the world – we could be in the bottom 4, but we’re not. Yes we needed a striker, but it is pretty obvious that the club couldn’t be blamed for not getting one.

Please don’t moan about our situation, we’re fine. We will add new players in the summer and look to do even better next season.
