West Bromwich Albion 1-0 West Ham United
Barclays Premier League

West Ham United are still yet to secure their Barclays Premier League safety
after falling to a 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Saido
Berahino's eleventh minute goal was enough to settle the match in West
Brom's favour as the Baggies claimed the points they so desperately needed.
The Hammers made a bright start, but faded as the game went on and could not
find a way past Ben Foster in the home goal. The Hammers welcomed Guy Demel
back into the starting line-up after he missed out last week with
illness,and the Londoners started brightly as they looked to put the Baggies
under early pressure. With six minutes on the clock Stewart Downing
delivered a corner from the right which dropped for Kevin Nolan at the far
post. He held the ball up with his back to goal and Andy Carroll rammed the
ball goalwards but Ben Foster stood up to block. It looked as though West
Ham were settling the quicker, but they fell behind with eleven minutes on
the clock as Stephane Sessegnon made his way through the midfield too easily
and slipped the ball through to Morgan Amalfitano. He spotted Berahino in
the box and picked him out for a simple tap-in. West Ham tried to respond
through Carroll, who came so close with a 19th minute header following
Downing's cross, but Foster got across brilliantly to parry the ball to
safety. At the other end Albion were a whisker away from a second on 26
minutes when Amalfitano delivered another dangerous cross from the right and
Billy Jones headed a couple of feet wide. Both teams had good chances in a
frantic 30th minute as first Guy Demel was denied by Foster, then West Brom
broke and Graham Dorrans should really have done better than drag his shot
wide when he made space for himself on the edge of the box. 1-0 was how it
stood at the break, but it should really have been two on the hour when an
Albion break left West Ham exposed. The Hammers escaped when Berahino first
could not get his feet sorted, then when the ball came back to him, he fired
straight at Adrian.

The Baggies were really forcing the issue by now and Berahino was in the
thick of the action again moments later when Mulumbu's off target fell to
his feet. It was a sharp chance, but he couldn't bring the ball under his
spell and Adrian pounced. West Ham were being frustrated in their attacking
efforts, but they were within the width of the crossbar of equalising on 71
minutes when Carroll rose unchallenged to meet Matt Jarvis' corner but sent
his header crashing against the woodwork. Adrian had to dive down to his
right to turn Sessegnon's low volley to safety, and the Hammers introduced
Carlton Cole from the bench, but there was to be no response from the
Hammers as they slipped to a fourth straight loss.

'We have to do more for the fans'
WHUFC.com
Sam Allardyce said he could empathise with supporters' frustrations after a
1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion
26.04.2014

Sam Allardyce said he understands West Ham United supporters' frustrations
following Saturday's 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at West Bromwich
Albion. The manager could not conceal his own feelings following a
disappointing away day at The Hawthorns, where the Hammers were edged out
despite producing a hugely encouraging first-half performance. In a game
that mirrored the home defeat by Crystal Palace, West Ham played the better
football before the break, but a succession of missed chances ultimately
cost them dear. Ben Foster saved well from Andy Carroll and Mohamed Diame
before half-time, while the former also rattled the crossbar with a thumping
header with 20 minutes remaining. While Palace won the game with a
second-half penalty, on this occasion the opponents' goal came before
half-time, with Saido Berahino netting at the end of a move that literally
cut through the middle of the visitors' defence. A fourth defeat on the trot
produced some understandable anxiety among some members of the travelling
2,600-strong Claret and Blue Army - anxiety Big Sam said he could fully
empathise with. "I understand that the supporters want to see us play well
and they want to see us win," said the manager. "I understand that they have
travelled all this way and they don't want to go home disappointed again.
"We have to do more for them and more for ourselves in the last two games,
particularly at home against Tottenham, and try and repeat the thrilling
results we have achieved at White Hart Lane this season. We won there in the
league and in the Capital One Cup, so can we do it again and make it a
hat-trick against Tottenham this season? "They are our old enemy who our
fans would love to see us beat, so that's the challenge. As hard and as
difficult as it will be, as they are a very good side, it will send the fans
home happy if we can beat our local rivals and get three points on the
board. "In terms of my job, it's my job to worry about it and my job to get
it right. It's my position to take the burden of criticism and uneasiness
that there is at the moment because we're not winning games of football.
It's my job to do that and I'll do that to the best of my ability. "I've
been doing this job an awful long time and I will work as hard as I can
every single day of the week to make everybody happy."

Concentrating on Saturday's defeat at The Hawthorns, the manager was left to
lament another game that slipped away from his team, despite their
encouraging first-half performance. "I'm hugely disappointed because we're
heaping so much pressure on ourselves," said Big Sam. "It's stupid that
we've let ourselves get into this position. It's four defeats on the trot
now. "We can look at the game and say that we've created this chance and
that chance and we should have scored here or there, but the bottom line is
that we still haven't sorted both ends of the pitch out in the last four
games. We've given silly goals away and this was a silly goal. The back four
just opened up and let them run through the middle and score. I couldn't
understand it. "In the opening half an hour we were the best team and
created the best chances and, while you might criticise the defence for
letting a goal in, you've got to criticise the attack for not scoring. We're
not taking our chances at the minute and we've got to get better - it's as
simple as that. "We should have scored at least two goals on the chances we
have created but, in the end, we didn't score one and we lost the game 1-0.
It leaves us frustrated because there is no point sitting on the coach home
saying 'We played well' because we've got to win. That's what we're here for
and what we're paid to do. "It disappointed me a great deal that we didn't
play with the same fluency in the second half because that's all I wanted
the players to do at half-time. I said 'If you carry on like that and create
the same number of chances you did in the first half, you will get a goal
and you've got to believe that. "Obviously we couldn't afford to let them
get 2-0 up, but we needed to keep getting the ball through the midfield and
out wide to Matt Jarvis and Stewart Downing, who were causing their
full-backs all kinds of problems. We were arriving into the box onto some
quality balls, and we did make their 'keeper make some very good saves, but
in the end you have got to say we should have converted the good chances we
created."

West Bromwich Albion 1-0 West Ham United
KUMB.com

Sam Allardyce faced fresh calls for his resignation this afternoon as West
Ham slipped to a fourth consecutive defeat at The Hawthorns. Allardyce - who
watched from the dugout as his team fell to a defeat that still leaves them
uncertain of Premier League football next season - also faced further
derogatory chants from groups of Hammers fans, plus banners demanding his
immediate replacement. Once again there was little on the field for the
travelling supporters to get excited about after a bright opening in which
Albion's shaky defence was put to the test. West Ham created a number of
chances in the opening half but Albion's Ben Foster was in superb form,
twice denying Andy Carroll and making good stops from Matt Jarvis and Guy
Demel to prevent the Hammers registering. However the Hammers had been up
against it from as early as the 11th minute when Saido Berahino turned home
a low Morgan Amalfitano cross from what was Albion's first attack of the
game.

Current KUMB.com Player of the Year Winston Reid, who had looked out of
sorts since returning from injury in February failed to close down the
rapidly-approaching French midfielder as he burst into the box, giving
Amalfitano all the time in the world to pick out his team mate. The half
ended with fighting in the stands when some Hammers fans took exception to
what was reportedly to be excessively heavy-handed stewarding. The furore
began moments after some fans unfurled a banner proclaiming "Fat Sam Out",
which was followed by obscene chants aimed at Allardyce. Sadly it wasn't to
improve much for the Hammers after the break, despite Andy Carroll enjoying
three headers at goal - the last of which crashed against the woodwork when
he was criminally left unmarked at a corner with just 19 minutes left to
play.

In the end it was the home side who looked more likely to score next and but
for some hapless finishing, they would surely have been enjoying a more
comfortable victory. However Albion were more than happy with the one-goal
winning margin - their first victory at the Hawthorns under current manager
Pepe Mel.

* Elsewhere today fans of Blackpool FC - who West Ham narrowly beat in the
play-off Final at Wembley two years ago - joyously chanted "we are staying
up" following their 2-0 win at Wigan, a victory that lifts them out of the
Championship relegation zone.

Saido Berahino's goal gives West Brom a valuable 1-0 win over West Ham
By David Bowers @davidalexbowers. Last Updated: 26/04/14 6:47pm
SSN

A first-half Saido Berahino goal gave West Brom a hugely significant 1-0 win
over West Ham at The Hawthorns. West Ham started the brighter of the two
teams with Andy Carroll firing in on goal after just five minutes - but his
powerful effort was well stopped by Ben Foster.

Best of the Match

Man of the Match: Ben Foster commanded his box with supreme conviction and
nullified numerous West Ham attacks.
Goal of the match: Saido Berahino's close-range strike could be one of the
biggest goals in Albion history.
Save of the match: Ben Foster produced a fantastic save early in the first
half to deny Andy Carroll's downwards header.
Moment of the match: Matt Jarvis was a real threat throughout, and Sam
Allardyce's decision to withdraw his winger in favour of Carlton Cole
backfired.
Talking point: How many points do the Baggies need to ensure Premier League
survival? Is 36 enough?

After early pressure from the Hammers, the Baggies broke on the
counter-attack in devastating style and after being fed through by Stephane
Sessegnon, winger Morgan Amalfitano fired into the path of Berahino - who
hit it high into the Irons goal to make it 1-0. Sam Allardyce's side has
chances to level the scores in the first half, but Foster kept out attempts
from Guy Demel and Carroll - the latter being a superb save from just six
yards out. In the second half, the Baggies keeper watched on in hope as
Carroll clattered the bar with a strong header whilst at the other end,
Albion scuppered numerous opportunities to double the lead - with both sides
guilty of poor finishing. However, West Brom managed to hold on for a hugely
valuable three points that takes them above local rivals Aston Villa and
into 15th place on 36 points, just one point off the Hammers. The visitors
looked likely to open the scoring and Carroll - the threat of whom Pepe Mel
had made particular reference to in the build-up to the contest - cracked a
shot goalwards from Kevin Nolan's lay-off in the sixth minute which Foster
saved. There was a further warning from West Ham moments later when Matt
Jarvis put a delivery into the dangerzone and the West Brom defence did just
about enough to clear the ball away.

Against the run of play, Sessegnon burst forward and slid the ball to
Amalfitano, who had plenty of time and space on the right of the box to
tee-up Berahino's finish. Pepe Mel has praised the performance of the
recalled Saido Berahino in West Brom's 1-0 win against West Ham. The England
Under-21 international was just inches from the line as he prodded the ball
over it for his ninth West Brom goal of the season, on what was his first
start for the club in eight games.
West Ham continued to push forward, with Carroll seeing a volley take a
deflection and get cleared behind, before bringing a great diving save out
of Foster with a firm header from Mohamed Diame's cross. West Brom's
response was a headed effort from Billy Jones, who threw himself at
Amalfitano's cross but could only send the ball wide. There were further
nervy moments for the hosts as Foster got away with a risky-looking sliding
tackle on Jarvis outside the box before the England goalkeeper made another
reaction save during a scramble inside it. Almost immediately, Albion were
back on the attack as Sessegnon and Graham Dorrans broke forward, but the
latter could only fire wide from the edge of the area. West Brom had to make
a reshuffle themselves due to injury as Steven Reid limped off for James
Morrison just before the break. They enjoyed a spell of pressure after the
interval, with Sessegnon twisting and turning before striking into the side
netting, Adrian getting down to save Jones' low shot and Dorrans dragging an
attempt wide.

Sam Allardyce has claimed results have not been good enough recently and
blames West Ham's inability to take chances. Sessegnon, who was appearing as
much in the mood for the game as the vociferous Albion fans, tried to feed
Berahino twice in quick succession, with the 20-year-old striker
miscontrolling first time around and then on the second occasion producing a
shot that rebounded off Adrian's legs. Soon after, Berahino lost control in
front of goal once more as Youssouf Mulumbu's ball came through to him. West
Brom were almost ruing those missed opportunities when Carroll met a corner
and powered a header against the crossbar. Adrian was then in action again,
saving well from a drilled Sessegnon effort. Baggies fans were taking
nothing for granted in the closing stages following recent results. But they
were celebrating come the final whistle, just like Mel as he savoured the
winning feeling on home turf for the first time since his appointment in
January.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce admits he has to shoulder the responsibility
Last Updated: 26/04/14 7:37pm

Manager Sam Allardyce admits he has to take responsibility for West Ham's
dismal form in the Premier League. Saturday saw the Irons slump to a 1-0
defeat at West Bromwich Albion, with Saido Berahino's goal condemning the
East London side to their fourth successive defeat in the league. A number
of West Ham fans voiced their frustrations throughout the game, and
Allardyce admits that their recent results have not been good enough. "It's
normal for West Ham fans to show their disapproval when they're not happy
with what's going on, so I accept it because I'm the manager at this moment
in time - just like all the other managers have accepted it before me," he
told Sky Sports. "You have to accept it and move on. I've got to get my team
playing and winning, when they do that, it dies down and we all look forward
to another Premier League season next year. But we still have a lot of work
to do, no doubt about that. "I'm focused on the fact that at this moment in
time, my results are not good enough. That is a pressure on me, a pressure I
have to accept and a criticism I have to accept," he added. Following the
1-0 defeat at West Brom, Sam Allardyce has claimed results have not been
good enough recently. "It's my responsibility to get the team picking up
points and they've let themselves down, not on the poor performances, but
certainly on the finishing and the way that they've given some silly goals
away."

The Hammers boss believes their performance at The Hawthorns warranted a
goal, but admits that poor defending cost them dearly - leaving them just
one point ahead of the Baggies in 14th place. "We had a similar problem
against Crystal Palace, but this time we gave a silly goal away when we're
on top of our game, creating havoc in the opposition's box but not
converting the chances. Last week (against Palace) it was a silly penalty we
gave away, this week it was a silly goal," he said. "We gave ourselves an
uphill climb. By the way we were playing and the chances created I'd have
expected us to score at least one today.
"Our finishing has let us down, not the creating but the finishing sadly.
We've ended up with a very disappointing defeat again - on the back of three
performances that were pretty good but no results," he added. "It's of great
concern to me because we still need the points on board. The players still
need to play and perform for the fans that pay and watch them, and get
results for them. It's OK playing well but it's no good if you lose and the
fans showed their disapproval about that today."

ALLARDYCE ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR FOUR DEFEATS IN A ROW
By Iain Dale 26 Apr 2014 at 19:03
West Ham Till I Die

Some very interesting rumours emanting from West Ham tonight. We'll see if
any of them are true. Meanwhile, here's what Sam Allardyce told Sky Sports
folloiwng West Ham's fourth consecutive loss. And the second consecutive
game in which he throws Carlton Cole on and then plays with no wingers.

"It's normal for West Ham fans to show their disapproval when they're not
happy with what's going on, so I accept it because I'm the manager at this
moment in time - just like all the other managers have accepted it before
me. "You have to accept it and move on. I've got to get my team playing and

I'm focused on the fact that at this moment in time, my results are not good
enough. That is a pressure on me, a pressure I have to accept and a
criticism I have to accept. It's my responsibility to get the team picking
up points and they've let themselves down, not on the poor performances, but

players still need to play and perform for the fans that pay and watch them,
and get results for them. It's OK playing well but it's no good if you lose
and the fans showed their disapproval about that today.
Discuss.

UPDATE 7.10pm: Meanwhile a very interesting blogpost on Claret & Hugh. Hugh
Southon is very close to senior people in the club and he believes that
Allardyce may be sacked this evening if a board meeting can be convened.

Amid intense speculation that Allardyce could be sacked tonight or tomorrow,
ClaretandHugh has learned exclusively that David Sullivan, David Gold,
Karren Brady, club solicitor Henry Brandman and Andrew Bernhardt MUST meet
first. However, it has also emerged that should David Sullivan, as main
shareholder, not agree with the majority view he has the power to make such
a decision himself. ClaretandHugh was told immediately following the defeat
at the Hawthorns - the seventh in nine games - that Allardyce could be
sacked this evening. But a source close to the board told us that it was
unlikely a board meeting could be called in sufficient time for that to
happen. Our source insisted also that ahead of today's game a view had been
taken at boardroom level that four points, and a minimum of three, were
expected from the last three games.

Mohamed Diame rubbishes rumours he is unhappy at West Ham
By SAMI MOKBEL
PUBLISHED: 00:29, 27 April 2014 | UPDATED: 00:29, 27 April 2014
Daily Mail

Mohamed Diame has distanced himself from rumours that he is unhappy at West
Ham United. The midfielder has been a key figure for the Hammers since
arriving from Wigan in 2009. It has been suggested in recent weeks that
Diame is unsettled at Upton Park, alerting rival clubs. But Diame has
privately sought to clarify that he is fully behind manager Sam Allardyce
and is ready and willing to fight for the team in whatever position he is
asked to play. The Senegal international has played an integral role for the
Hammers in their fight to avoid relegation. Diame has attracted interest
from Arsenal and Tottenham in the past and said earlier this month that he
has ambitions to play for a top six English club. But the Hammers will be
keen to keep hold of Diame, whose contract expires at the end of next
season.

Allardyce responds to angry West Ham fans after 'Fat Sam out' banner
unfurled at West Brom
Saturday, April 26, 2014
7:53 PM
London 24

Sam Allardyce has taken responsibility for West Ham's dismal form after fans
turned on the Hammers boss in their 1-0 defeat at West Brom. Saido
Berahino's close-range 11th-minute strike at the Hawthorns consigned West
Ham to a fourth straight defeat. While the West Brom faithful roared their
team on enthusiastically throughout the game, there was more disgruntlement
among West Ham supporters as they witnessed the London outfit's fourth
straight defeat.
Not for the first time, Hammers manager Sam Allardyce found himself the
target of abuse from some of the club's fans, with boos and chants being
hurled at him from the away section and a banner being unfurled within it
which displayed the message "Fat Sam out, killing WHU".

Allardyce, whose side are one spot above 15th-placed West Brom and a point
better off but have only two games left, said afterwards: "I have been
pleased with the performances overall of the players - with the creativity.
"But at the end of the day, that is no good to anybody whatsoever without
results and again we haven't got one, so you are bound to get criticised -
me more than anyone else, because I am the manager and I'm responsible for
it. "You don't want it (the abuse), do you? You don't want to stand there
and get abused in any way, shape or form. "But it is something you are aware
of, and you know what changes it around - the players going out on the pitch
and winning. "So until the players go and do that for themselves, me and
then the fans, the criticism is going to continue being thrown at me, and I
accept that criticism because it is my responsibility. "Fans show their
disapproval and they are quite entitled to. I don't have a problem with that
at all - well, I do have a problem with it, but I understand why they show
their frustration."

Asked if he wanted to stay at the club and win the fans over, Allardyce
said: "I'm contracted to West Ham United - until such time that the owners
tell me something different, that is exactly what I am. "I wake up every
day, come into work and do the very best I possibly can for West Ham, for
the players, for myself, for the owners, and for my family."

Allardyce also lamented the way his side had failed to make the most of
their goalscoring chances, the closest of which saw Andy Carroll head
against the bar.
The manager said: "When opportunities arise and when you create them, you
must take them in this very demanding league, which will not allow you to
miss as many as we did today. "Until we start converting these chances we
are creating, we are going to struggle to win a game."

Could West Ham United really still be relegated?
Saturday 26 Apr 2014 7:36 pm
Metro.co.uk

If West Ham didn't know what squeaky bum time was before, Saturday's defeat
at West Brom - a seventh in their last nine games - means they certainly do
now, and with the two remaining games being against Tottenham and Manchester
City, there is every chance that statistic may not improve before the season
is out.

When fixtures for the new campaign are published, one of the first things
many fans do is check the run-in, for a worst case scenario survival guide.
In West Ham's case, this season it was definitely a fixture list of two
halves, with the last eight games containing four likely European contenders
and four basement dwellers.

On March 31, after the win over Sunderland, with six matches remaining, club
owner David Gold tweeted 'we are safe now'. Almost, but not quite. Sadly too
many players seem to have taken him at his word as since then the record is
played four, lost four, as West Ham have stood still like confused tourists
in Piccadilly Circus, watching the hurly burly of the Premier League going
on around them.

A quick scan of social media, however, makes it clear how aware fans are of
the team's plight, a situation hardly improved by a steady stream of
comments from the club along the lines of 'so and so says he thinks the team
can turn things around this weekend' and 'the last few games have been
disappointing'. Oh really? Well it's nice to know we weren't the only ones
who noticed.

Could West Ham United really still be relegated?Some West Ham fans have
turned on manager Sam Allardyce (Picture: Getty Images)
Victory in April's final game would have been a giant leap towards the
survival supposedly assured by March's final game. This was a West Brom team
without a home victory under manager Pepe Mel, who had conceded three goals
in three of their last four games, and with a generous habit of throwing
away leads. Surely, with survival in sight, we could get the job done and
ensure survival, couldn't we?

Er, no. Aside from one Andy Carroll header (stop me if you've heard that one
before) against the woodwork, once the Baggies were in front, that lead was
rarely threatened. Cue home fan celebration at the final whistle, and a
ratcheting up of tension among the visitors - and there's only so long that
you can keep a lid on things before they blow.

As it is against Tottenham, next Saturday's final home game of the season
was always bound to be a feisty affair, but the fact West Ham go into it
with their survival still not guaranteed is appalling. The home finale is
supposed to be a celebratory affair, but recent form means the atmosphere
next Saturday could be precisely the opposite.

It would still take something pretty seismic for West Ham to be relegated,
but given the likelihood of them failing to get anything from their last two
games, they may well be reliant on the kindness of other teams messing up to
finish off the job they have failed to complete themselves. That is
shameful.
