a bit bloody strong from your youth team mamanager don't you think? Not gonna do the kids confidence much good coming on top of score line like that



Meanwhile Haycock's equivalent at Albion, Martin Hinshelwood, admitted that he was 'very disappointed' by the defeat. "It looked like it was men against boys tonight," he moaned. They were far better on the ball, but also off the ball with their movement.

"If the players can't come and play football on a pitch like that, in front of people at a nice stadium they will not be professional footballers. That might sound harsh but it's the nature of the beast.

"West Ham were full of quality players, with some players in the England set-up, but if you let them play they are going to look even better; that was the problem tonight.

"Tonight we let everybody down. They need to learn from it because if they don't they will not play professionally. That is the truth and I want them all to be footballers, but if they don't compete they are not going to be successful."

Yes, I thought Hinsh's comments were harsh.
