I never thought I see myself saying how much we missed Cole, but he is now so critical to our match play with his ability to hold the ball up,allowing midfielders to push forward and the defence to push up is now so crtical to us , especially away from home. Today we had nothing upfront(sorry Tristan and Di Michele)and the ball repeatedly came back when kicked up field.This put immense pressure on the back line but all the above were superb today, allowing us to hold onto the point.

He just seems far more comfortable in the centre. He has a great footballing brain but no pace so he gets time there. I thought the whole team battled well against a physical side. In answer to Devo Devo's question - yes we should have had a penaly but then again our goal should have been disallowed so evens I guess! I also can’t believe that Neill is my MOM.

Tristan I felt had no service so unfair to judge on today, but DDM was weak and didn't drop back to help as much as he should.

He left everything on the pitch and played an important role in the goal. He gave us some width. It was a bit difficult for Tristan today having to play lone striker. He did look a little slow but that also had much to do with the role he was required to play today. I agree with many that he has not looked the part but I also believe the talent is still there. Like Cole he may just need an opportunity to get a run together. Unfortunately, we really aren't in a position to give him that time. We need more proven strikers with current form to hold off the also rans for 7th spot. I thought DiMichelle was somewhat anonymous today. Great to see Dyer on the pitch. He showed he's still a little something special despite the lay off and he certainly had earned a penalty. Neill was top man today but I must give a mention to the much maligned Luis Boa Morte.

He does look more comfortable in the centre that's for sure, sounds like Tomka's reputation continues to grow as well? Good to see Dyer back, unlike chris to be negative, I heard we should have had a pen when he was brought down by Samba. Any thoughts?

Noble showed some great passes. We should of made an earlier change in the second half,Tristan and Di michele couldn't hold the ball up ,it was coming straight back,we could of conceded. No more Tristan please waste of space. Great point we have done well to get anything with our injuries,did anyone see Dyer limping at the end?

Tomkins played very well too. Noble ran and ran, took his goal really well Overall it was good to see a West Ham side not buckle under the onslaught, in years gone by we would have been beaten. Only Michele and Tristan looked off the pace. Good to see Dyer back, his pace with Cole upfront could bode well for the last few games. He should have had a penalty – but then Nobles goal had hints of offside to it 7th place will be a battle all the way down to the wire.
