West Ham's under 19s drew 0-0 at Reading on Saturday.
Danny Bunce had a penalty saved early in the second half after Sos Yao was tripped in the box.
Says Tony Carr: "It was a dour game with both defences on top and we were blunt up front.
"It is not a criticism to say the match was run of the mill but we can play better and Reading deserved credit for the way they scrapped."
