Alan Curbishley has confessed that his side were slightly fortunate to take all three points against Fulham.

The Hammers boss, talking after the game admitted that the Hammers failed to create as much as he would have liked - but insisted that he was happy with the overall performance.

"We got a little bit of luck near the end," he said. "We've been unlucky in recent weeks - the penalty against Birmingham was a bit soft - and it balanced for us today.

"The players have got to take fantastic credit for what they've done this season. They've dug in every week. We've had tremendous problems, people pulling out, people getting fit in the first team - like we had today.

"They've done fantastic, and I'm sure that everyone at West Ham - at least I do - appreciate everything they've done."

In response to claims of negativaty - as expressed by the travelling fans shortly before Nobby Solano's winning goal - he added:

"We need to be a bit more expansive. We need to create a few more chances, and take them. But for the most part, I'm delighted with what they're doing."
