Curbishley upset despite superb West Ham victory

West Ham United boss Alan Curbishley amother day of injuries, despite their 5-0 thrashing of Derby.

From being 1-0 up at half-time through a Lee Bowyer goal, the game was over within nine minutes of the restart as Matthew Etherington, Jonathan Spector and Bowyer's second made it 4-0.

Nolberto Solano completed the rout with a stunning free-kick.

George McCartney was forced off before the quarter-hour mark with an ankle problem, while Bowyer was playing with a groin injury and Curbishley revealed he will have an operation on Tuesday.

"Fantastic result for us," said Curbishley.

"Lee Bowyer's got to have something done. He was playing with a groin strain. He's got to have an operation on Tuesday.

"We're hopeful Georgie isn't as bad as we think.

He added: "It's the way it's been for the last month or two.

"Everyone's been going on about the injuries, it's there, everyone can see it.

"But it's a little disrespectful to the players who have been playing. They have been picking points up."

Of the game, he said: "I think, today, the first goal was always going to be the vital one and we managed to get it.

"That really settled us down and put Derby on the back foot.

"It's very difficult when you're down the bottom there and you go one down.

"We had opportunities in the first half, perhaps to get the second, and it didn't happen.

"We sat down at half-time and said if we go out and set about this right and we get another one, then we can enjoy it. And that's what happened."

West Ham boss Curbishley: Don't write-off Derby

West Ham United boss Alan Curbishley insists Derby can still beat the drop - despite thrashing them 5-0 at Pride Park on Saturday.

The former Charlton boss had words of comfort for beleaguered opposite number Billy Davies.

"I know what he's going through," Curbishley said. "I had a couple of results like that last year.

"These results come along but, if you care to look down there, no-one's stranded.

"It's still all to play for. He's got to take some positives out of it and push on for the next game."

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley on his side's injury probems:
"We've got to decide what course of action to take with Craig Bellamy.

"One route is injections, and the other is another operation, which would be longer.

"But elsewhere, I am are really pleased. It looks like one or two of the injured players are coming back."

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley:
"Spurs have a really strong squad and have just started to turn the corner.

"They shouldn't be down where they are and they won't be down there.

"But it's a big game for us because we're on a decent run, and it's always a big game for the fans."

Freddy Adu · 11-25-2007, 07:47 PM

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley:
"I'm knackered. The game went up and down.

"You have a penalty awarded so late and think that's it but it was a great save by Robert Green. It was a deserved point and I think it was a fair result.

"I thought we were going to nick it. We've had big problems injury-wise but the boys that have come in have done a tremendous job."

West Ham assistant manager Mervyn Day on goalkeeper Robert Green:
"I cannot believe Robert hasn't got into the England squad.

"He's been consistently excellent for the last nine or 10 months. In the run-in last season he won two or three games on his own.

"Everybody who comes in should start with a clean slate. If they do that then Robert must have a great chance."
