    Adrian, Demel, Tomkins, Ruddock, Taylor, Jarvis, Nolan, Morrison, Noble, Vaz Te, Maiga

    Subs: Subs: Jaaskelainen, Lee, Moncur, Lletget, Driver, Fanimo



    HT 1-0 Noble pen

    Watching second half live on WHUTV and some of our passing in central midfield, particularly from Nolan, Morrison and Noble is woeful. Simple 5 yard passes going straight to the opposition. Noble trying Hollywood passes that either go out of play or give Maiga no chance. Taylor looks SO slow

    Tomkins our best player

    Subs on. Moncur for Noble, Fanimo for Nolan, Driver for Demel. Moncur & Taylor gone into central midfield, Fanimo to left back and Driver to right back

    Lletget on for Jarvis

    Maiga completely isolated up front. RVT lacking any confidence at all. His body language is just awful

    Lee on for Maiga

    FT 1-0 It is very worrying how very little we created from open play, although some of the link-up play between the youngsters was impressive. However, our only goal was a penalty for handball

    On a positive note we finished the game with 7 Academy graduates (8 if you include Ravel !)

    James Tomkins MoM by a mile. Outstanding

    West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce was delighted with the win over Espanyol

    West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce was delighted to see his side triumph 1-0 at RCD Espanyol on Thursday night,
    The Hammers, who fielded a mix of experienced and young players in the international break, won 1-0 thanks to Mark Noble's first half penalty.
    Allardyce then introduced several members of his Development Squad, and he was pleased to see them cope well with the threat of Espanyol.
    "It was an excellent game," Big Sam said. "It's a different way to play when you're away in Europe. It's not like the Premier League where it gets frantic and high tempo all the time.
    "This game slows down a little bit and the lads adapted really well to that, and of course having got a goal in front, and then putting most of the young lads on, we held on to the defensive side of it really well.
    "We played the game out really well, and with no injuries too, which is the most important thing. It's a very good workout and it's given the young boys a real experience.
    "For the senior players too, James Tomkins, Adrian in goal, Matt Taylor it was important for their match fitness. For the whole squad from the aspect of tactical, technical and fitness it was very, very good.
    "It was a worthwhile workout for our players in the international break and now we hope our international players come back without any problems"
    My Allerdyce disagreeing with you Tony.........but it would appear the game meant something else to him.

    When I saw the under 21's there were some very composed passers on show dude, Moncur and Whitehead were excellent, hope they get a chance at some point.

    it was a friendly after all, we won which is always good however meaningless the result ultimately is but having a lot of youngsters playing a fair part of the game is a good thing i think, the best bit of the whole game though is the NO injuries bit, keeps em fit and sounds like overall it was a good work out. thought carroll mightve got a little run out though the fact he didnt doesnt bode well for the saints game regarding his readiness?

    Carroll didn't even travel with the squad Ian

    I know it was only a friendly but our inability to retain possession, pass the ball to each other and the total lack of movement from the front 3 is frightening

    Just that you had negatives and he didn't.  He said " For the whole squad from the aspect of tactical, technical and fitness it was very, very good."   Whilst you had concerns over midfield.

    He is deluded then !! It might have been good for certain players' fitness but they won't be starting anyway !! Tomkins was excellent. Adrian average with poor kicking. Taylor is like a carthorse and RVT doesn't look interested. Kept moaning and shaking his head. Body language was awful

    Let's see how we play away at Southampton on Sunday eh?

    Surprised by the report of Adrian's kicking being poor. I thought his distribution was very impressive against Cheltenham, pinging accurate balls out to the touchline to the feet of team-mates. They need to cheer Vaz Te up massively before Southampton away as he really should be starting up front.

    I can only go by what I saw Dan. I wasn't at the Cheltenham game so can't comment. Hopefully he just had an off-day on Thursday

    I agree about RVT. He needs to play up front or on the left
