Pardew drops Walker hint from TEAMTALK
Alan Pardew has hinted that James Walker could keep his place in the West Ham goal for the match at Wolves.
Walker was chosen ahead of Stephen Bywater for the FA Cup win over Norwich - and manager Pardew's decision was vindicated as the former Walsall shot-stopper made four crucial saves.
Pardew said: "Jimmy did exactly what was asked of him against Norwich.
"He brings a calmness to the team, and that position is now a really tricky one for me to decide.
"Stephen has had a great year, but Jimmy was terrific against Norwich."
