West Ham fans

Mickey: The mark of a good team is to eke out results when needed. A victory away at the league leaders, keeping a clean sheet. Extending the unbeaten run. A very good afternoon.

Sue: Good three points but still struggled in the first half. Can't understand why we always start so slow and defensive. Still not confident that we will get promotion. Need to be more attacking. Second half was better.

John: West Ham were resilient, although luck played its part. We squandered chances to go two or three ahead, Swansea also wasted good chances but overall we got the points.

Emma: Thought West Ham produced a decent result today. Wasn't spectacular by any means, but started with intensity and matched Swansea's energy throughout.

Both teams looked like they had their shooting boots on the wrong feet aside from Mukasa, as it could have ended 5-4 or so. Good result away from home against a team who don't concede many so three points happily taken.

Gavin: Three points most important over the performance which wasn't great. I think there are still starting line-up and in-game management improvements we can do to make games a bit more comfortable. But a great win to close the gap and move into automatic spots which is the sole objective of the season.

Adam: We won today thanks to Swansea being poorer than us. Out front play was poor initially, Pablo totally ineffective in holding the ball up or in the challenge.

Our anticipation was off the mark as the ball constantly eluded us and Swansea will be kicking themselves for not going harder at a team that starts slowly.

Pablo should have secured the win but contrived to fluff the best chance of the game before he went off.
