West Ham assistant Alan Irvine felt the Premier League side lacked a cutting edge but was ultimately relieved with a 1-0 victory over Stockport in the driving rain at Edgeley Park. There's the goal West Ham have been searching for! Jim Gannon was pleased with the way Stockport acquitted themselves (Martin Rickett/PA)Manager Jim Gannon said: “The lads are naturally disappointed but isn’t that a sign of how well they competed? “That feeling will dissipate over time and they’ll feel they gave a good account of themselves, so it’s a cliche to say ‘I’m very proud of them’. I’m a little bit disappointed but I’m really proud and pleased with the way we presented ourselves.”
