Diallo Defended by Willie

Speaking to the Ipswich Evening Star, Joe Royle's right hand man said: "Drissa was unfortunate. The first goal looked offside and then he had his hands full. But Etherington is a good player who has posed problems to better players than Drissa."

When quizzed on Town's chances in the tie, Donachie added: "Deep down we know we are a better team than West Ham. The league table doesn't lie."
