"We were second best in the first half but we were better after the break. It is the story of our season really and we only played for 45 minutes. The belief was just lacking in the first half.
"To be fair we have been a shadow of what we are capable of in the first half and this was a competition we wanted to do well in even though this is a very difficult place to come.
"West Ham made a lot of changes and, to be fair, they worked their socks off in the first half. Too many of ours were off their game and too many stood off.
"It could have been a lot worse in the first half and we have to move on and learn from that".
