Collins content with clean sheet in 'hard' game

West Ham defender James Collins has told whufc.com that he is happy with his side's performance against Newcastle on Saturday- and the clean sheet to go with it.

The Welsh international stated that although the game "had that end-of-season feel to it," he felt that the Irons' performance merited the point they earned.

"To get through that [the game] and not concede, we're very happy with. In the second half we were a lot better and we were unlucky not to get a goal," Collins said.

"Newcastle are a tough, physical side like ourselves and we knew it was going to be a hard game.. we're just happy [Papiss Cisse's shot that was cleared off the line by Winston Reid] that was the only real chance they had in the game."

On next Saturday's trip to Everton, the former Villa cruncher was equally as stoical.

"They're a side that's full of internationals and have a great squad- it'll be a tough game because they're having one of the best seasons they've had for a long while.. if we can keep playing the way we have then I'm confident we can get a decent result there."
