Skipper refuses to dwell on defeat

Albion captain, Jonathan Greening, has told his team-mates to forget about the heavy defeat at Old Trafford and focus all their attention on Saturday's visit of Hull City to The Hawthorns. The gulf in class between the Championship and Premier League champions was evident as United went goal crazy with four goals in 34 minutes.

The former United midfielder felt the defeat was harsh on the visitors with Albion coping with the double winner's attacking threats adequately before Wayne Rooney and co. stole the show. Although disappointed, Greening has insisted the Baggies must now look forward to Saturday's important Hull fixture.

"We came here today to try and stop United playing and when we had the ball try and play ourselves," said the Albion skipper.

"We did it in patches and played quite well in the first 60-odd minutes.

"But you can't stop that wealth of talent all the time.

"Having said that, we were unlucky the scoreline finished 4-0.

"We've got to put this to bed now and concentrate on a good week's preparation for the Hull game.

"They are the games we need to get three points from.

"Next week is a massive game."
