BLACKBURN and West Ham combined to produce a shocking half of football devoid of any quality.
The closest either team have come to a breakthrough have been pot shots from range, with neither keeper being tested.
Hammers stopper Ruud Boffin has enjoyed a relatively uneventful Premier League debut so far, with only one save to make from a Morten Gamst Pedersen free-kick that was certainly one for the cameras.
Freddie Piquionne came closest for West Ham, firing a shot wide of the near post from a tight angle after being played through by Luis Boa Morte.
The Portuguese midfielder then forced Paul Robinson into a smart save just before the break.
Kieron Dyer was consistently caught offside, as the visitors struggled to get any rhythm together.
