Curbishley: Home tie

FULL-TIME The Hammers hold on, although Jewell will be happy with his side's performance. Thanks everyone for your views - watch out for the managers' reaction.

90 (+2) mins - Derby corner Deby win a corner but West Ham hold firm in a goal-mouth scramble.

90 (+2) mins - Miller shot Miller has a shot on goal but Green gathers his shot. Should have done better.

90 (+1) mins - Boa Morte on Boa Morte on for Ljungberg.

90 mins - Savage sitter Savage gets onto a deep cross from the left. He is at the far post and just has to head at goal to score but heads over. He holds his head in his hands as he knows he has missed a golden opportunity to level.

90 mins - Injury time Three minutes of injury time are announced.

More views You are still calling for Curbishley's head, despite the new scoreline. Nick's view is typical, saying: "Curbishley hasn't got a clue W H wont go forward with him."

87 mins - Zamora header Solano plays in a good cross from the left and Zamora heads to goal but his effort is saved. Good chance.

85 mins - Penalty shout? Solano plays in a good ball from the left and Zamora is marshalled out by Mears. The crowd call for a penalty but it does not look like a shove.

84 mins - Villa shot Villa has a go from the left of the Hammers box but his effort goes over. The Hammers second goal seems to have knocked the stuffing out of the Rams.

83 mins - McEveley on McEveley on for Todd.

Your views You had sent in your views in droves after Derby had scored and I was about to post some up when Cole's goal has changed things again. There was a lot of calls for Curbishley's head but he should be safe after the goal..

Tom Hayward was pleased with Derby's goal. He said: "GET IN!!!! Mears, you've done us proud mate. Hopefully this will show these sarcastic hammers fans that Derby are no mugs, my earlier point was proven, we are not the same as Gretna.

"Im sick of us constantly being looked down upon. Yes we are a poor premiership side, but no one can complain that we dont deserve to be here, we finished 3rd in a competitive league and won the playoff. Derby should be allowed to enjoy their last few games as a premiership team. Mears's goal wont change peoples opinion of us, but it cheers me up, and is nothing more than what we deserve." Well said mate!!

78 mins - Solano on Solano is on for Faubert.

76 mins - GOAL!!!!!! Cole scores a tap-in. Ljungberg plays a one-two with noble and crosses from the right and Cole just has to tap in. It is tough on Derby who had dominated the game this half.

75 mins - Villa on Villa on for Jones. Derby have a 10th corner but the Hammers clear.

74 mins - Cole on Cole comes on for Sears. Curbishley is going for experience over youth as he tries to win the game but some sections of the crowd are singing 'You don't know what you're doing'

Ljungberg right Replays show Ljungberg was right to be upset when he was clean through against Savage. The Welshman pulled him back when he was in front.

71 mins - Zamora shot Zamora gets in front of Leacock again and meets a cross from the right but his effort goes straight to Carroll.

69 mins - Derby corner Derby win another corner but the Hammers clear and break down field. Ljungberg is through with just Savage to beat but Savage takes the ball off him. The Swede goes down and calls foul but the ref waves on, much to his fury. Derby break down field themselves and win a corner but the Hammers clear. It is end to end stuff at the moment!

68 mins - Noble chance Noble has a great chance to put West Ham back in front but he fluffs his lines. Faubert crosses from the right and Noble has a free-header but nods it straight at Carroll.

64 mins - GOAL!!!!!!! Derby take a deserved equaliser.Derby make a fast break and Mears beats Ljungberg to the ball and lifts the ball past Green to score against his old club. Great goal!!!!

62 mins - Mears chance Mears gets behind the West Ham defence and is one-on-one with Green but the keeper comes out and gathers. Seconds later the Hammers go upfield and Faubert puts a dangerous cross in from the left which Zamora only just fails to connect with.

60 mins - All Derby Derby continue to enjoy possession. The crowd have gone very quiet.

Hammers' views Danny is upset with the Hammers boss. He says: "Curbishley out, he has not got a clue how to play the west ham way. I go to every away game as I live up North and the man is a joke, get rid of Boa Morte too.

Andy says: "come on west ham, lets finish the game early, COME ON U IRONS."

56 mins - Derby free-kick Ghaly wins a free-kick 30 yards out in front of goal. Stubbs hits one and Parker breaks out of the wall and takes the ball in his face. Very brave.

55 mins - Derby press Derby are knocking the ball around well and win another corner on the left but West Ham clear. The Hammers need a second here.....

More views More Derby fans have been in touch to defend the Rams. Phill says: "What are these Hammers fans on? Must be still intoxicated from last nights 20 pints.

I was hoping one of them could tell me and my club how to cheat our way out of relegation. They were quite good at it last year.

We are rubbish but we know it. It is going to be so nice to beat you this Afternoon."

Alex says: ""How can they have a fan-base? Even Gretna must have bigger support than this!"

I think you'll find Derby have a far bigger fan base than many other Premier League teams. I'd like to see the likes of Wigan or Bolton fill their stadia on a regular basis. Derby get 31000+ fans attend their home games."

But Matt says: "derby.... there's no love in the game that they are playing. They fought well to get into the premiership and work so hard but for what? They no longer feel the need to play a standard level off football. They have already been relegated it just depends on how much longer they hold out before completely humiliating themselves. Come on Derby, show us something new and shock everyone by showing them what kind of team you really are!"

51 mins - Derby corners Savage plays a good ball to the right to Lewis whose effort is deflected out for a corner. Derby take and win another corner to the left. They take again but the ref sees an infringement and the Hammers gain the ball.

49 mins - Parker chance West Ham break again and after several passes the ball falls to Parker who shoots just wide of the left post. Moments earlier they had won a corner but Derby cleared.

45 mins - Derby press Derby start well with a cross from the left by Jones. Sterjovski gets in front of Neill at the near-post but does not dive for the ball as it goes past him and West Ham clear. Soon afterwards, Derby win a free-kick to the left of the box but the Hammers clear and break down field with Sears putting in a cross from the left which goes right across the goal. Unlucky!

45 mins - Re-start

Tom's defense Tom Hayward has come to the defense of Derby. He says: "I have to completely disagree with Adam's comment, he clearly does know much about Derby County.

"As a Derby County fan and season tickt holder, I'd like to point out that yes Derby have been woeful this season, but that was expected. However the comment about our fan base has no grounds. We get 30,000 + fans to every game, which is more than what can be said of some of the bigger premiership clubs. We might be the worst premiership team. But how are we a disgrace to Coca Cola, we play in the Barclays premiership, not that coca cola leagues.

"We are a decent lower league side,not a great premiership team yet, but in a few seasons we might be. luckily we have a fan base that will stick with us through the worst of times."

Well said Tom!! Please send your views to: steve.pass@bskyb.com or if you are using the scorecentre you can use the feedback button.

Owain's view Owain says: "We need to finish the game off straight away 2nd half, give the ball to Faubert, lets see what sort of carnage he can create!" I agree you need to get a quick goal otherwise the crowd will grow restless against the team...

More views Paul says: "West ham need to put this game beyond derby. We need to get an early goal or it's going to get close second half."

Blake says: "COME ON YOU IRONS! Open the flood gates, Derby. Let us in! It's coming one way or the other! When the ball hits the net, who's the scorer? I bet that's Zamora!"

Like the poetry Blake!

Fans' rants I have just received two rants from fans about Derby....

Adam says: "Derby are a disgrace to the premiership, they are a disgrace to Coca-Cola, they are a disgrace to football!

"Anyone would think they just wanna play 2nd Division football How can they have a fan-base? Even Gretna must have bigger support than this!"

Seb says: "Derby are just awful...i feel bad for Paul Jewell he seems like a nice guy and is a better manager than one for Derby. Fair play to him he has said he needs a new team and the one he's got isn't good enough....oh yeah and DERBY HAVE NO CHANCE OF BEATING SUNDERLANDS 17 points..

DERBY=WORST TEAM EVER IN THE PREMIERSHIP

sorry rams fans!

And also how much Freddie Ljungberg and Lucas Neill are getting a week is: OBSCENE."

What do you think of that Rams' fans - do you agree? I personally don't on this performance - You are holding West Ham and coming back into the game.

HALF-TIME West Ham go in one-up thanks to Zamora's goal. This tie is by no means over.

45 mins - Ghaly effort Ghaly tries one from distance but it is deflected and Green gathers.

45 mins - Injury time One minute added on.

43 mins - Derby corner Derby win a corner on the left and Paintsil has to get his head in before Miller.

Zamora's 'second' Watching the replays again, both Zamora and Ljungberg are on-side for Noble's through-ball which Zamora nets. It is a close one but the Hammers should be two in front.

42 mins - Parker effort Parker has a go from distance but his effort hits Ljungberg and Derby clear.

41 mins - Faubert effort Faubert hits a long-range effort but his shot goes wide of the left-hand upright.

39 mins - Savage effort Savage gets onto a cross from the right and Green has to be at his best to tip his header over the bar. A good attempt. Savage takes the corner but West Ham clear.

37 mins - Zamora 'goal' Zamora latches onto a through-ball and strokes the ball into the net but is given off-side. Replays show it is close, and perhaps the decision has been given against Ljungberg.

33 mins - Hammers break West Ham hit Derby on the break. Ljungberg tries a one-two with Sears but is blocked for the return ball. Stubbs twists his ankle after clearing the ball and after medical attention comes back on.

31 mins - Derby corner Derby are coming more into this game and win a corner on the right. Lewis takes and Lewis tries to flick the ball on the near-post but it goes over the bar. Pete asks if West Ham are playing 4-4-2, yes.

29 mins - Mears cross Derby make their best move of the game and Mears carries the ball to the dead-ball line on the right and crosses other but no-one is there and the Hammers clear. They get the ball back and Mears again crosses from the right and the ball finds Savage on the edge of the box but two defenders charge the ball down and West Ham clear again.

Differing views You think either team could still win. Karl says: "DERBY WILL WIN TODAY AND WILL GIVE US A BIT OF CONFIDENCE FOR OUR NEXT GAME AT HOME AGAINST ARSENAL AND SO I CAN GLOAT TO MY BEST MATE WHO IS A WEST HAM FAN COME ON U RAMS!!!!"

But Lee says: "Nice to see the youngsters in for the mighty hammers - I think a 3 - 0 win to west ham."

Jonny says: "This has gotta be a must win match for West Ham, mainly for morale - if we dont win a home game against a record holding relegation team its going to hurt! Nice to see Freddy starting. COME ON YOU IRONS!"

I think you need another goal while you are on top Jonny!

23 mins - Hammers corner West Ham win a corner on the right after another Leacock error. The ball is taken and Tomkins gets his head on it at the far post but Derby clear.

20 mins - GOAL!!!!!!!! Zamora scores his first goal for a year from a free-kick. McCartney takes a free-kick from 30 yards out on the left and Zamora gets the wrong side of Leacock and heads easily home, giving Carroll no chance. It is poor defending by Leacock who does not even get a challenge in.

17 mins - Hammers free-kick West Ham win a free-kick to the left of the box and Noble plays in good play to Tomkins but he heads over.

Ashton ill Paul has been in touch saying Ashton has got tonsillitis - thanks for that info Paul!

15 mins - Good defending A cross comes in for Sears who tries to run onto the ball but Leacock does well to hold him off and nod back to Carroll.

12 mins - Derby corner Derby break out of their half and win a corner. The ball is played into a dangerous area at the near-post but Parker brings the ball away and the Hammers break but can not create a chance on goal.

Views Matt asks why Dean Ashton is not in the squad - as far as I am aware he is not injured - I think Curbishley just wants to try some youngsters against the relegated team.

Ollie asks is Derby a 4-4-2, it seems that way yes. Samantha says: "Come on West Ham backing them 100% they gotta win today to deffo be above Tottenham so hopefully fingers crossed come on you hammers!"
