Sam disappointed with finishing

The Hammers were fortunate to secure a point through Kevin Nolan’s last-gasp equaliser after dominating it for long periods.

Speaking to West Ham TV the manager said, “If we had come out on the losing side, it would have been our own fault because of our lack of quality when it came to finishing chances.”

“That would have been a very difficult thing to stomach considering the way we played and the amount of chances we created.

“We are happy we have got a point - when you score in the last minute you always feel that way, irrespective of the fact we were the dominant force throughout the game.  We dominated the game, created the majority of the chances, yet we were still going into the 91st-minute a goal down.

“The joy and the relief of getting a goal at the time was exceptionally good but the reality is that we should have won this game handsomely.  We coped brilliantly after going a goal down, it was brilliant finish from Steven Fletcher but to let ourselves down with failing to take the chances we created is disappointing.  In my position as the manager I have to tell the players ‘Well done for equalising after being a goal down in added time’, but you also have to say look we battered them.”
