Grant: We deserved all three points
West Ham boss Avram Grant felt his side deserve all three points after they fought back to draw 1-1 at Blackburn.
Junior Stanislas struck 13 minutes from time to cancel out Ryan Nelson's goal but the point still leaves the Hammers bottom of the Barclays Premier League table.
But Grant was encouraged by his side's performance, especially after he was forced to give Belgian keeper Ruud Boffin his debut after Robert Green failed to recover in time from a minor operation to remove a cyst, then Valon Behrami aggravated a hip problem in the warm-up.
Grant said: "I think we deserved three points. We created chances, we created half-chances, we hit the post. The positives are I was very impressed by the spirit of the boys. They gave everything.
"With all the problems, needing to change the team at the last moment, we fought and we almost won. We were the better side and I liked it very much because I know top teams who miss two or three players and they have a problem."
Grant is now hoping Green will have recovered for the Boxing Day trip to Fulham.
