City manager Dave Bassett was disappointed with the result and saw it as 2 points lost this afternoon in their 1-1 draw with the Happy Hammers.

Bassett also doesn't seem too happy with Matt Elliott.

Speaking on the official site after the game Bassett said:

""What happened this afternoon just goes to show that one moment can change a game.

"To be honest I was standing there on the touchline not too concerned that West Ham would score.

"I couldn't see them scoring today, Walker had one half-shot to save and I thought we were in control of the game.

"I was looking for us to go and get a second goal but things can change very quickly.

"Matt Elliott's not shown enough restraint, he's got sent off, Di Canio's penalty has gone in and suddenly we are hanging on for a point with 10 men."

Bassett said on Elliott:

"I cannot defend the indefensible and Matt will be fined two weeks wages.

"There was no excuse for his actions and in effect it cost us the game. It's not a case of sympathising with Matt because he should still not have done what he did.

"Matt admitted to his part in the incident with Trevor Sinclair and if you do those kind of things the only result is that you will be sent off.

"Matt has apologised to me in my office, he was emotionally wound up at the time and didn't show the kind of restraint needed in those situations.

"Matt's behaviour was nonsense because it has put him out of the reckoning for three games and cost him two weeks wages. It doesn't help him and it doesn't help the team and I'm sure he'll be feeling rough over the weekend."
