Copy linkCopiedMoyes regret
David Moyes says things didn’t go for his side in their cup dumping tonight.
The West Ham boss was quick to point out the exciting second half of the season his side have to look forward to though.
He told BBC: “Disappointed. Lots of things didn’t go for us tonight but overall disappointed.
“We had one or two opportunities, especially in the first half. Some good things but not enough to win the game.
“It is a blow because we would have liked to have been in the cup but we have Europe to look forward to in March and we are in a good position in the league, but we are disappointed to go out.”
Copy linkCopied’Emotional time’
Rob Edwards said his side weren’t at their best as the saw off League One Bolton to reach the fourth round.
The Hatters are now set to head for some warm weather training and recovery after a tough opening half of the season in the top flight.
Edwards said, via the BBC: “I’m pleased we are through, tonight was about winning. We were not at our best, sloppy in too many moments and allowed them to build into the game.
“We know we have to be full tilt. This game we just dropped a bit, and you can’t do that. Bolton are a big club, but when we are favourites, we took our foot off the gas and Bolton could have punished us.
“We’re going away for some warm weather, getting training in and time together, down time together. Has been a tough season so far, everything with Locks as well, it has been an emotional time.”

“I actually think we can improve and get a little bit better.”
