Roeder pleased with kids

Glenn Roeder paid fitting tribute to his teenage stars after they helped West Ham secure a draw against Swedish champions Djurgardens.

Roeder, without several key players through injury, was forced to field several youngsters including Anton Ferdinand - brother of Rio - against an impressive Djurgardens side who play a Champions League qualifier next week.

Roeder said: "All credit to the young players because they did a remarkable job. It shows how much it means to them playing for West Ham."

Jermain Defoe could have given West Ham a shock win when he turned cleverly inside the box on 60 minutes, but his close-range effort produced a fine save from Dembo Tourray, diving low down to his right.

Djurgardens created the best chance of the game 17 minutes later. Yannick Bapupa made space inside the box, but his drive cannoned back off the post.

Meanwhile, the Football Association have charged Joe Cole and Rufus Brevett with misconduct for incidents during and after the match at Bolton on April 19. The players have 14 days in which to respond.
