"Despite the defeat I was pleased with the spirit of the team," he insists, "against a strong Tottenham side - and I feel the least we deserved was a draw.
"In the second half we took the game to them but we had three goals disallowed in the first half, one of which denied us a beautifully worked move following four or five passes which Greg Pearson tucked away beautifully.
"He and Youssef Sofiane came close to scoring the equaliser late in the second half, but I wouldn't single anyone out - it was a good team performance, especially in the second spell."
Darren Blewitt scored West Ham's goal while Acimovic and Zamora [a West Ham fan? Perhaps we will never know] scored for Spurs.
