Sam Allardyce explained after today’s game that QPR’s desire and anxiety was a key issue in the clash.
He told West Ham TV “I think we had to match the fact that when a team is at the bottom of the league and the games remaining are in single figures, the desire and anxiety of the opposition is so much greater than it is at the start of the season,” the manager told West Ham TV.
He added: “When there are only three, four or five games left and a team is in the bottom three and three or four points adrift, the opposition get more and more desperate.“Of course we had many positions to have scored but failed to do so. The best in the first half came before the penalty when Enner Valencia should have rolled the ball to an unmarked Kevin Nolan in the middle of the goal.
“I understand his frustration because he wanted to score and we want him to score more, but not when there is someone else in a better position, because you must give them the ball.
“Of the missed CharlAustin spot kick he said: “It was obviously a penalty, but there was a clear foul just before on Cheikhou Kouyate, who was just cleaned out by Karl Henry as he headed the ball, which meant the ball went to a QPR player instead of one of ours. I don’t think you could blame the referee because Ginge’s hand was in the air above his head.“Then, though, we had the master of penalty saves there for us again – that’s his third one on the trot and it was the major reason we got a point. It was not fortunate, but fantastic goalkeeping because he has proved it in the past.
“There was also no doubt about the foul on Adrian for the goal they have had disallowed, so we got the defensive side right.”
He was pleased with the assured performance of 18-year-old Reece Burke on his Barclays Premier League debut – and just his third first-team appearance.
He said: “We had a young man in Reece Burke making his debut and he stood up to Austin and Bobby Zamora and came away with a clean sheet
“It was a magnificent feeling for him and his family. I could imagine the nerves and excitement they felt about him playing, and he played so well and looked calm and commanding at times.“There is a future for him if he works harder than he has ever worked. If you never stop working and practising then you will forge yourself a career in the game.“He has given us an insight into the fact he can cope with this level on a one-off basis, so now he has to prove he can play regularly at this level.”
very impressed with this lad not been this excited about the future of a player since rio 😀
That’s your lot Valencia never gave his son his 100 goal ( good boy ),
Does his comment mean Burke now keeps his place and has the next 3 games !
ahahaha…I laugh to keep from crying… What an idiot… what an embarrassing man…
“Enner Valencia should have rolled the ball to an unmarked Kevin Nolan in the middle of the goal … I understand his frustration because he wanted to score and we want him to score more, but not when there is someone else in a better position, because you must give them the ball.”.
This is not the first time BFS puts the blame on Valencia (against Everton in FA Cup too).
Dad Sam is sad because his son Kev didn’t score his 100th goal… Poor little Kev, the perfect son, he’s never wrong… lol
Then Grandpy Sam has loving words to his little grandson Reece “It was a magnificent feeling for him and his family. I could imagine the nerves and excitement they felt about him playing, and he played so well and looked calm and commanding at times.“
Except Reece never saw the field all season and yesterday his tender Grandpy said youth maybe are not good enough for the big games… but today he has magically changed his mind about that…
SAM TENDER DAD AND GRANDPY
Haha,he has got it in for Enner,he always seems to single him out but not the others,lol,i have few words left for Allardyce that the swear filter wont delete 😀
Rads if you enjoy this site respect it, the swear filter is there for a reason. It can be adjusted to delete any word we choose. We are busy people so help us rather than create issues!!!!
Sorry Hugh,aint got a clue what your on about this time.I just said that the way i felt after coming home from the game if i was to talk about Allardyce & my thoughts about him at the time then the swear filter would have been busy.Nothing to do with creating issues or the filter on here.Is exactly why i never spoke about him because i had nothing to say complimentary.
I said ‘i have few words’ not ‘i have A few words’.
Lol,what a differnce an ‘A’ can make,especially when we have an Ahole as a manager 😀
Hugh probably you didn’t understand the meaning of Rads’ words. He was ironic, rads is one of the best guys here, he’s Always polite and moderate. 😉
Haha,i wouldnt say he has ever been moderate in his dislike of Sam Matte,but that is a definate positve.Hugh should be pleased he is on this site fighting against Allardyce.I mean Rads goes to most matches home & away.If anyone on here knows the crap BFS delivers he does.Long live Rads!!haha 😀
Ahah… We are in the middle of a battle here… We are crusaders for justice!
BFS THE ENEMY
Ahahah…. Breathe out your tender words rads, you’ll just be fine… Lol
He picks on Enner because he is the only striker left. Cole is too carp to be considered.
Cant believe there are still people bigging up Sam & praising him.Ffs,i saw one site yesterday a guy saying that Sam is a tremendous manager & a proven winner!,haha,he must have been sniffing glue,lol 😀
I know he is. But I pop in now and again only and just quickly glanced and responded. irony struggles in the written word but fair enough
Haha,come back Rads,we need you to fight the crusade for justice.You are an important cog in the wheel of Sams Destruction,lol,Matte is busy with figa,Bubs busy with San Miguel & tapas,Sting is busy looking for his missus stats cabinet.God knows what Chicken is up to,running probably.The Revolutionary Party For Justice Against Hippohead needs you 😀
Ahahahah… I love Sting busy with stats cabinet! Lol
Lol,well this situation with Allardyce is such a joke & farce & i cant even be bothered to take it seriously anymore.Just stop our season now,give us 12th & let the teams we still have to play have the 3pts.It cant be any worse than it is atm 😉
Everton is winning against Man utd… Palace is just beyond us… 10th place at the end? Mmm… Sam what’s happening? You seems to be in free fall… Lol
BFS NEEDS A PARACHUTE
Tyson not busy with stats cabinet,busy with Nivea cream after using sand paper on his cojones,
San Miguel would work as well if you rub it gently and have not been peeling chilli,s,
Hugh Sting would love to be popping in and out that’s the whole problem,
Another hour yet Tyson before fiesta time no idea which game they will be watching today but it’s bound to be better than watching BFS doing stand up,
Ahahaha… I’m imagining you bubs… Nivea crema… Lool
Haha,nice on Bubs,dont forget to take the missus with you for the fiesta time.Might get you in the good books for some stats cabinet later,lol.Meanwhile we slip down to 11th place as Everton who were the best part of 20pts behind us a one stage go above us.Another million+ place pot goes down the crapper.Would have been cheaper to have paid the dinosaur his full years wages & still been better off with the placing money than we will be.What a joke! 😉
Not me Matte Ray I use aloe Vera and not the bird detective on ITV she is going nowhere near the Crown Jewels,
BFS FOR CROWN JEWEL REMOVAL
Ahahahahahah… I’m dying laughing… Ahahah
Always comes along Tyson not allowed out solo,
She does a bit of Spanish line dancing keeps her trim,
Speak later play nicely
BFS FOR MOON WALKING
Ok Bubs,have fun,make sure you end up in the bar not line dancing.Dont want you chaffing anything 😉
Funny to see soo many against Hippohead now on wetpants,lol,the tide has well & truly turned 😀
Ahaha… Yeah, I noticed that.. Lol… they are experiencing a revolution… There, some of the best Sam lovers disappeared … There’s no more religion… Ahaah…
BFS DON’T GIVE UP…..
There just hiding hoping he can get one more victory,
Some people just can’t admit they are wrong,it’s like self harming and they need urgent help,
The problem now is there bible the stats are turning against them,
But like a bad penny they will return,
