West Brom boss upset after draw against West Ham

"That could have done me some proper damage but I'll live to fight another day."

The penalty claim and Olsson's elbow incident livened up a match short on quality.

James Morrison forced a decent save from Green then Jonathan Greening missed the best chance of the second half.

Greening said: "I think I probably should have put my chance away and got us all three points.

"We knew it was going to be a difficult game, (manager) Gianfranco Zola has got them playing well, but I thought we did all right tonight.

"We've been working hard all season. It's difficult coming up from the Championship but the boys have worked hard and we'll give it a good go until the end of the season."

Robinson, who was critical of his team-mates recently and claimed some of them should show more "pride and passion", said: "I'm just being honest, that's the person I am. Tonight I thought we put a great shift in as a team, we defended well and attacked well."

Asked about his team-mates' reaction to his comments, the left-back added: "They just get on with it. They know me as a person. They can deal with it or sulk about it but it's no time to be sulking."

Hammers boss Zola confirmed Matthew Upson's calf injury was not serious after the England defender was carried off in the first half.

He said: "It shouldn't be too bad. It's a problem with his calf. It shouldn't be a big setback."
