WEST Ham boss Alan Pardew has warned his players not to get too carried away with a great FA Cup win over Premiership opposition.
Throughout the season Hammers have produced great displays against strong opposition, becoming the first team to win at high-fliers Ipswich and Sunderland and giving Chelsea a real battle at Stamford Bridge.
But they have failed to hit the heights against the lesser lights of the Championship, having dropped points against four of the teams in the bottom five in an inconsistent campaign.
"It frustrates me that we have had some great results and then not done so well against the lower teams," admitted Pardew.
