Best Team Display – West Ham United (H) 8.43

Imagine a season where you score 16 goals in three matches, win 6-0 at home, and it’s a 1-0 defeat that gets the plaudits. However, when you’re holding one of Europe’s best clubs (as proven by them winning a European trophy) for much of a cup tie, it’s bound to get recognition. This was the last big game of Mark Kennedy’s era, and it summed up his reign perfectly. When we needed to dig in, not have the ball, and match a team without expectation, we could.

Ten days later, we rolled over and got beaten by Peterborough at London Road, and within a month, Kennedy was gone. Still, we’ll always have West Ham.
