Kieron Dyer says West Ham United can have no complaints after their defeat to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

The result was a serious setback against their relegation rivals.

Dyer said: "We were poor today and deserved to lose. Even though I came on for 45 minutes it was a very disappointing day.

"We usually start like a house on fire, get out of the traps and get in people's faces.

"All credit to Bolton, we expected them to sit off and let us have possession of their ball and hit us on the break but they came straight for us. They were excellent today."

West Ham now face back-to-back away trips to Chelsea and Arsenal but Dyer has not given up on manager Gianfranco Zola masterminding a late turnaround.

He said: "I still don't think that the next two games have a bearing on whether we stay in the league or not.

"I still believe that is our home games and possibly Fulham away. If we do well there we will stay in this league."
