It was a great finish for Marlon's goal. Since he's been at West Ham he's shown he has a subtle ability and plenty of skill. Sometimes he's rash but he's learnt his lessons from the first few games of the season,

Chances have to go in. Marlon Harewood did not have his best game for us. I thought the second goal flattered them, but they are a good side and had a lot of possession.
