Big Sam on: QPR
WHUFC.com
Sam Allardyce talks team news, the need to be better defensively and more in
his QPR press conference
03.10.2014

Sam Allardyce faced the media on Friday morning ahead of Sunday's Barclays
Premier League meeting with Queens Park Rangers. The manager was quizzed on
team news, the Hammers' form and the need to triumph in a London derby at
home.

Morning Sam. How do you view the QPR game?

SA: "We're under pressure to get more points on the board. We've played
very, very well in five out of our six league games so far. The fact of the
matter is seven points from those games is simply not enough. We have to
turn performances in to results. I think we should have gained a minimum of
ten or eleven points by now. Unfortunately we only have seven. At this early
stage of the season you can jump places very quickly. The QPR game is almost
a six pointer. We want to go into the international break with a positive
result.
"Harry's team is evolving too. Like us, they've signed a quite a number of
players. I saw their game against Southampton last week. Austin scored an
absolutely outstanding goal. My main concern is stop conceding goals and
making sloppy defensive mistakes. If we'd have done that so far we would
have double figures by now."

QPR were interested in signing Morgan Amalfitano, how hard did you have to
fight them off?

SA: "I don't know to be perfectly honest with you. When we knew Mo Diame was
leaving for Hull we contacted Morgan who was happy to jump on a plane and
come over here which is a very good sign. He couldn't wait to get back in
the Premier League after his experience at West Brom last season. No
disrespect to the French league, but he thought the Premier League was a lot
better, more exciting, and a higher level of football. "We hope he can
continue his good form for the rest of season, he scored a vital goal
against Liverpool."

Stewart Downing is playing well, do you think he should have been included
in the England squad?

SA: "Stewart's playing in a slightly different role here, I don't think Roy
[Hodgson] plays with a man in the hole, or the diamond. Stewart certainly
has the experience, he's handled the switch of position very well. He gets
more possession in the position he's in, so that allows him to become more
effective. Given his qualities that's a good thing for us."

Do you think he's good enough for England?

SA: "He's certainly not past his best by any stretch of the imagination. You
only get past your best when your legs can't take you where you want to go.
But Stewart is one of our fittest players. He probably should score more
goals than he does, but hopefully he'll do that in the new position he's
in."

What actions have you taken on James Tomkins?

SA: "He'll be doing some community work. The bottom line is he shouldn't
have got himself in that situation and he should be acting with more
responsibility. I don't take kindly to a lack of discipline on or off the
pitch. I think it's irresponsible and unacceptable. A player represents
himself and his club. Whether he had a drink or two makes no difference. So
he'll be doing some community work for us. It makes more sense, and is more
effective as a West Ham boy, to be doing community stuff."

QPR are only three points behind you, is it a game you should win on Sunday?

SA: "I don't think there are any games that you think you should win. We've
reached a good level of performance recently, I know the result wasn't good
against Manchester United but if we continue to play like we did we'll do
OK. This game is more important for us than the Liverpool and Manchester
United games."

Diafrao Sakho has scored three goals in three games, how has he been
settling in so far?

SA; "All our new players have contributed massively. They've all settled in
very well. I think the environment we create here, especially at the
training ground, is very welcoming and it's paid dividends. I think they've
settled in even quicker than I expected.

Any team news ahead of QPR?

SA: "Our injury problems haven't changed. We've taken care of the bumps and
bruises we picked up against Manchester United. Anyone who wasn't available
last week, won't be available this week. Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyate, Andy
Carroll and Joey O'Brien will all still be out. Guy Demel pulled out of
training in Wednesday so we'll have to see about him. Otherwise everybody
else is raring to go."

What lessons did you learn from last week?

SA: "Our lesson was that we didn't cut out the errors we've been making.
That allowed Manchester United to score two goals in the first 20 minutes.
It's my belief that the vast majority of the goals you concede are from your
own mistakes.

What have you seen from QPR that impressed you so far?

SA: "People have being saying that they're struggling but I don't think you
can say that yet. There hasn't been much in the games they've played so far.
The bottom line these days is what happens in both boxes dictates the
results. We've been attacking well and creating chances so far, so we need
to continue that. There's very little difference between any of the teams
outside maybe the top four of five these days. "Last week Charlie Austin
scored one of the best goals I've seen in a long time, I'm sure Harry knows
he needs to get more goals, but we'll try and stop them doing that come
Sunday."

'They've brought some good players in'
WHUFC.com
QPR manager and former Hammer Harry Redknapp has praised the recent signings
made by his old club
03.10.2014

Former West Ham United player and manager Harry Redknapp has praised his old
club ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League visit of his Queens Park
Rangers side to east London. Speaking in his pre-match press conference,
Redknapp predicted that West Ham would enjoy a productive season and praised
the Hammers' dealings in the summer transfer window. Redknapp's QPR, who are
still seeking their first points on the road in the Barclays Premier League
this term, travel to a sold out Boleyn Ground for a 4.15pm kick-off on
Sunday. "We need a result away from home as quick as we can, that's what we
need," the 67-year-old began, when asked for his thoughts on his team's
chances of success against the Hammers. Redknapp was then asked for his
thoughts on West Ham, and whether Sunday's game was one his team needed to
win if they hope to steer clear of the relegation battle. "I don't see West
Ham as being in a relegation battle," he continued. "I don't see them being
down there. I think they're a team who have bought some good players in and
look a decent team this year. I think they will be in mid-table. "Of course
it's good to go back and see a few old friends - people are there who were
there when I was at the club. It's a fantastic club. I went there at 15 so
all my memories of going there as a kid, it will always be a special club
for me."

Redknapp praised Sam Allardyce for the business conducted by the Hammers
during the summer, in particular the captures of in-form strikers Diafra
Sakho and Enner Valencia, experienced midfielder Alex Song and left-back
Aaron Cresswell. "They've brought some good players in, two good strikers
with pace, Alex Song, they've improved their squad. That's the difference
this year. I've always liked the left-back Cresswell. Sam's a good manager
who has got better players to work with."

Redknapp was also asked for his view on the impact made by attacking coach
Teddy Sheringham - a player he signed for Portsmouth in summer 2003
following Pompey's promotion to the Premier League - and the 48-year-old's
own managerial prospects. "Teddy is a great lad who played for me at
Portsmouth. He was a fantastic player. I don't know what he does
coaching-wise at West Ham, though - you'd have to ask Sam!
"[As for his managerial prospects] I brought Les Ferdinand into Tottenham
with Tim Sherwood and gave them an opportunity when they were out of work,
so why not?"

Adrian blogs for whufc.com on Manchester United, Liverpool and returning
home this weekend
02.10.2014

Hello everyone,

It will be good to be back at the Boleyn Ground on Sunday and we want to
replicate the performance we gave against Liverpool and get the three points
at home against Queens Park Rangers. We've played well in the last few games
and it's another chance for us to go out there and do the same. With our
fans behind us, it's very important for us because it's a London derby as
well. The team were disappointed that we didn't get anything at Manchester
United last week, because the result was a hard one to take. I think we
deserved a draw - Kevin Nolan's goal in the last minute was a tight call and
we had a lot of chances in the second half. After the first 20 minutes, when
we gave away two goals, we showed a good reaction against a very hard team.
But even though the result didn't go our way, we take great confidence from
both that and the victory over Liverpool. The team are giving good
performances and we have a good opportunity this Sunday for us to keep going
in this way. I'm looking forward to the atmosphere. All games in the Premier
League are important, but this is more important because it is a derby game.
Three points at home, in front of our fans, is what we want and we need to
win the game. We go into an international break then, so if we can get three
points to take us to ten from the first seven would be a good start.

See you on Sunday!
Adrian

Phillips ready for Brighton game
WHUFC.com
U18s assistant manager Mark Phillips is confident the team can continue
their good form
01.10.2014

West Ham United U18s assistant manager Mark Phillips is hoping his side can
continue their good start to the season against Brighton & Hove Albion. The
Hammers remain unbeaten after six league games after they beat Reading 4-0
at Little Heath last weekend through goals from Josh Pask, Grady Diangana,
Jordan Brown and substitute Oscar Borg. Having won three and drawn three so
far, Phillips is hoping to make it lucky seven unbeaten on the south coast.
He said: "I honestly think we've played better and not won some of our games
this year. On Saturday at Reading we scored goals at the right time. "Once
we were three goals up we really controlled the game. Up until then we
defended well but we still could have used the ball better."

A further positive was the U18s securing their first clean sheet of the
season in Berkshire. "The back five, including the goalkeeper, deserved a
clean sheet, because hey defended very well," Phillips continued. "Reading
put us under a lot of aerial bombardment and they threw a lot at us. But the
handled it all very well."

Striker Jordan Brown has been in terrific goal-scoring form as he netted his
fifth in six games and Phillips is delighted with the progress the young
forward is making. "If I'm honest, the way the season has gone and the way
he is playing, I expect him to score every game. That's a big call but he
always seems to find a way to score. "He takes his chances very well. This
time last year he was snatching at chances, trying to hit the leather off
the ball, but he's matured and he passes it into the corner now. He works
hard to find the space and create opportunities."

Little is known about Saturday's opponents. However they have made a good
adjustment to life in the Barclays U18 Premier League South Group, as they
are level on points with the Hammers on 12 points each. "They're new into
Category One football so we'll have to wait and see what they're like,"
Phillips conceded. "As for us, the team are a hard-working unit. That's the
first thing we expect from them. We've been working this week in training on
starting games stronger, as we haven't started too well in games so far.
"We've had to play catch up a few times. At Southampton we had to come from
2-0 down to beat them 3-2. Obviously that shows great character but it's
making our job harder than it needs to be."

West Ham United U18s taken on Brighton & Hove Albion at the American Express
Elite Football Performance Centre on Saturday 4 October, with kick-off at
11am.

the Hammers made the short trip to Ware on Thursday evening looking to
bounce back, and Julian Dicks' side did just that with a fine defensive
performance. An entertaining opening 45 minutes saw both clubs create
chances to open the scoring, but goalkeeper Nikita Runnacles and her
defenders were equal to everything that Spurs could throw at them. Into the
second period and both teams continued to threaten to break the deadlock.
The opening goal finally arrived on 82 minutes, when Lipley-Hinton
celebrated her re-call by firing into the top corner from 15 yards out. The
derby success was confirmed by Bowers, who netted her first goal of the
season in the closing moments of the game to send the West Ham supporters
home happy. Victory avenged the home defeat suffered at the hands of
Tottenham on 4 September and lifted Dicks' team one place to fifth in the FA
Women's Premier League Southern Division table. The Ladies return to action

A review of Friday's media coverage of West Ham United
03.10.2014

West Ham United's Sunday Barclays Premier League clash with cross-London
rivals Queens Park Rangers is the centre of attention in Friday's newspapers
and website coverage.

QPR's former West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green's interview with the Hoops'
official website is the source of a number of stories, with the 34-year-old
relishing his return to the Boleyn Ground this weekend.

The Evening Standard concentrates on Green's hope that he will be afforded a
warm welcome to the stadium where he spent six seasons between the sticks
between 2006-12.

Elsewhere in the same publication, Green's former West Ham team-mate Winston
Reid is concentrating on keeping a first clean sheet of the season against
Harry Redknapp's side.

Online, Football League World speculates that Bolton Wanderers may reunite
Hammers striker Elliot Lee with former team-mate Rob Hall at the
Championship club.

Column-wise, Julian Shea's fan blog in the Metro concentrates on the
'self-belief' running through the squad following a tricky September that
saw the Hammers draw at Hull City, beat Liverpool and edged out narrowly at
Manchester United.

West Ham v QPR
KO 16:15
3 October 2014
By Simon Brotherton

BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: Upton Park Date: Sunday, 5 October
TEAM NEWS

West Ham defender Guy Demel is a doubt after suffering an unspecified injury
in training this week. Winger Matt Jarvis is hoping to feature for the first
time this season after recovering from a thigh injury.
QPR midfielder Sandro has been cleared to play after suffering a heavy blow
to the head in last weekend's 2-1 league defeat at Southampton. Joey Barton
and Jordon Mutch have been nursing hamstring problems and will face a
fitness test.

MATCH PREVIEW

The last time I saw Sam Allardyce was a fortnight ago when he walked into
the press room grinning like a Cheshire cat. You couldn't blame him: 3-1
wins over Liverpool don't come around terribly often for most managers and
this was a deserved success. Liverpool were poor on the day, but I also
thought West Ham had a nice balance and vibrancy about them with the new
signings settling in well. Aaron Cresswell was assured at the back, Alex
Song gave added rigidity to midfield, while Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho
were lively further forward. Stewart Downing playing through the middle
wasn't something I'd seen before either, and he excelled in the role.
Lawro's prediction
"On occasions, QPR have not even looked ordinary - they have looked poor.
And despite having some good individuals, they just don't look like a team.
They are searching for an identity at the moment. "West Ham, in contrast,
have impressed me. They look a completely different animal to last season
when they were one of the teams struggling to create chances and score
goals."

After last week's narrow defeat at Old Trafford, it will be interesting to
see if they can build on that last home performance this weekend because
their other two home games this season have both ended in defeat, and by all
accounts, the Southampton performance was one to forget. QPR travel across
the capital for this one as the only Premier League team without a point
away from home so far this season. It's early days of course, but three
games on the road have all ended in defeat and Charlie Austin's strike at
Southampton last week is the only goal they've managed away in that time.
History is against them - it has been 21 years since Rangers last won at
West Ham with a 4-0 success back in 1993. Current manager Harry Redknapp was
the assistant to Billy Bonds at Upton Park at the time. No matter how long
he's in the game, West Ham will always be the club most closely associated
with Harry, due to the amount of time he spent there as a player, assistant
and manager. He's not the only one at QPR with previous ties to the club,
though - Rio Ferdinand, Rob Green and Bobby Zamora are all former West Ham
players who will be in the visitors' dressing room on Sunday.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
West Ham are unbeaten the last four times they have hosted QPR (W2, D2).
QPR's last victory at Upton Park was by 4-0 in August 1993.

West Ham
This season, the Hammers have picked up more points away from home (four)
than they have at Upton Park, where they have won just three points from a
possible nine.
Their overall tally of seven points is two more than at the same stage of
last season.
West Ham are the only side in the Premier League not to have kept a clean
sheet this season.

QPR
QPR are the only Premier League side not to have picked up a point away from
home.
They have scored just one away goal, when Charlie Austin found the net at
Southampton last weekend.
QPR have scored just four goals in total - only Burnley (one) have scored
fewer top-flight goals this season.

Lee linked with Trotters switch
KUMb.com
Filed: Thursday, 2nd October 2014
By: Staff Writer

Championship side Bolton are keen on taking West Ham's young striker Elliot
Lee on loan. 19-year-old Lee has barely featured for Sam Allardyce's first
team despite having been prolific at times for the Under 21s. With the likes
of Enner Valencia, Mauro Zarate and Diafra Sakho having joined the club this
summer, his chances of doing so have become even slimmer. That has led
Dougie Freedman's Championship strugglers, who currently sit one place off
the bottom of the league having accrued just one win in their opening ten
games, to make enquiries into his availability. Should Lee join Bolton on
loan it would be his second spell away from West Ham, having spent a month
on loan with Colchester United last season. His brief stay at the League One
club saw him feature on four occasions, scoring once in a 2-2 draw at
Rotherham. Most recently he scored both goals in a 2-0 win for the
Development squad against Sunderland at the Boleyn Ground on Monday evening.

West Ham take in derby date with QPR at Upton Park
Last Updated: 03/10/14 5:25pm
SSN

West Ham United will welcome a familiar face in the form of Queens Park
Rangers boss Harry Redknapp back to Upton Park on Sunday.
The hosts will be hoping to make it an unhappy return for the former Hammers
chief, with Sam Allardyce looking for his side to shake off their
inconsistencies. West Ham have taken seven points from their opening six
fixtures, but have yet to collect back-to-back wins and have already been
breached on 10 occasions. Heading into the international break on the back
of a positive result would help to raise morale and have then pulling in the
right direction once more. QPR, though, will make the journey across London
for another derby date aware that they too need to start piecing
performances together. Stepping back up into the top flight was never going
to be easy, but a return of one win, only four points and four goals sees
them facing an uphill struggle.

Opta stats

QPR have won none of their last five Premier League London derbies (W0 D2
L3), losing the last three in a row.
Each of West Ham's last three home Premier League wins have been followed up
by back to back home defeats.
Rio Ferdinand could make his 500th Premier League appearance in this match
and would become the 11th player to reach this landmark.

There is, of course, still plenty of time in which to turn things around and
in Redknapp they boast one of the most experienced managers currently
working in the Premier League.

Team news

Sam Allardyce has no fresh injury concerns to contend with, but is also
unable to welcome back any of those currently on the treatment table. Matt
Jarvis is the closest to coming back into contention, but the weekend is
likely to come too soon for the England winger and he will be given an
extended break to work on his fitness. Mark Noble, Cheik Kouyate and Joey
O'Brien are also out of action, while Andy Carroll is back in training but
easing his way back from ankle ligament damage.
Harry Redknapp has blamed QPR's injury problems for their slow start to the
season ands hit back at criticism of Rio Ferdinand Joey Barton and Jordon
Mutch will face late fitness tests in a bid to return after hamstring
injuries for QPR. Brazilian midfielder Sandro has been cleared to return
after suffering a heavy blow to the head in last weekend's 2-1 league defeat
at Southampton. Redknapp is expected to continue with a flat back four after
starting the season favouring 3-5-2, which could leave loan recruit
wing-back Mauricio Isla again unlikely to start.

Paul Merson's prediction

QPR are in a bad way at the moment and are struggling in every game. Harry
Redknapp keeps changing his tactics and after six games I'm not sure he
knows what his best team is (a bit like Arsene Wenger). West Ham were
outstanding in their last home game and did well against Man United last
week, especially at the end when they went for it against 10 men. If they
get anywhere near the level they reached against Liverpool then I can't see
how QPR will get anything.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

West Ham order James Tomkins to carry out extra community work
Last Updated: 03/10/14 2:06pm

West Ham have ordered defender James Tomkins to carry out extra community
work. West Ham have ordered defender James Tomkins to carry out extra
community work after he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer and
being drunk and disorderly outside a nightclub in December. Tomkins pleaded
guilty to both offences on Monday and was fined £3,500 by magistrates but
West Ham have opted not to punish the player with a fine of their own. West
Ham boss Sam Allardyce says James Tomkins' actions are unacceptable after
the player was convicted of assaulting a police officer The 25-year-old, who
came through the club's youth ranks, will instead carry out extra community
work, including coaching young and disabled footballers in the local area.
"Getting him out in the community - particularly when he's a West Ham boy -
is a much better punishment than fining him," Hammers boss Sam Allardyce
said. "The bottom line is he shouldn't have got himself into that situation
or that position, he should show more responsibility. "I don't take kindly
to a lack of discipline off the field at all - I think it's irresponsible, I
think it's unacceptable, I think a player represents himself but he
represents the club as well and in this case James should hold himself in a
better esteem in the public eye than he did. "Whether he had a drink or two
makes no difference - they have to have as much self discipline when they're
away from the club as they do when they're training every day." Tomkins has
started his side's last five Barclays Premier League matches and will be
included in the squad on Sunday when West Ham host QPR.

Sam Allardyce hits out at James Tomkins after West Ham defender convicted
for assaulting a police officer
Oct 03, 2014 11:34 By Neil McLeman
The 25-year-old pleaded guilty to the charges on Monday and Allardyce made
clear in his press conference on Sunday his anger with the player
The Mirror

Sam Allardyce has branded James Tomkins' conviction for assaulting a police
officer "irresponsible" and "unacceptable". And the West Ham defender, who
pleaded guilty on Monday, will have to carry out extra community work as a
further punishment from the club. Tomkins, 25, pleaded guilty to assaulting
a police constable, being drunk and disorderly in a public place and
obstructing a constable outside the Sugar Hut nightclub in December - a
venue made famous in The Only Way Is Essex. Allardyce said Tomkins will be
in the squad for Sunday's home match with QPR - but in today's pre-match
press conference he made clear his anger at his star's actions "The bottom
line is he shouldn't have got himself into that situation or position," said
the Irons boss. "He should have more responsibility. "I do not take kindly
to a lack of discipline off the field at all. "It is irresponsible and it is
unacceptable. The player represents not only himself when he goes out, but
he represents the club. In this case, he should hold himself in a better
esteem in the public eye than he did.
"Whether he had a drink and two or not makes no difference. That's your
responsibility today. "I don't take kindly to what he did. They have to have
as much self-discipline when they are away from here as they do when they
are training here every day. "Getting out in and amongst the community is
much better, particularly as he is a West Ham boy, rather than fining him."

Bilic video: 'Dicks was the hardest'
Posted by Sean Whetstone on October 3, 2014 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Besiktas head coach and former Hammer Slaven Bilic recently spoke to ITV
Sport When asked about his relationship with England and English football he
said: "I like England, I spent the best time of footballing life as well as
my life in general life here. "My son was born here, we had a great time
here in London and in Liverpool, it would be too much to say it is a second
home but it is the place apart from my country that I really like to come"
When asked about tough player image at West Ham he answered "I was in a team
with Julian Dicks so I was not the hardest one in my team" Would he accept a
management job in England? He replied: "I like my job and I have big respect
for my club and I really enjoy it, I like England but I don't want to
promote myself and put myself in a shop window, I will not do it, so I am
happy at Besiktas" So not a NO then for a future West Ham Manager!

Allarydyce unclear on Downing England question
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on October 3, 2014 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Sam Allardyce seems strangely reluctant to give Stewart Downing an
international vote of confidence despite the player's enthusiasm to make an
England recall. No player has made a greater impact for the Irons this
season and only a few days ago the player made it clear he hoped he hadn't
been forgotten. But the Hammers boss refused to give a firm YES when asked
the question this morning claiming instead that he didn't think England
manager Roy Hodgson "plays with a man in the hole, or the diamond." He then
returns to to Downing's value to the club seemingly steering the
conversation in a different direction before again being asked whether he
considered him good enough form the Three Lions. He appeared to re-word his
answer claiming "He's certainly not past his best by any stretch of the
imagination."
And he added: "You only get past your best when your legs can't take you
where you want to go. But Stewart is one of our fittest players. "He
probably should score more goals than he does, but hopefully he'll do that
in the new position he's in."Given the ballyhoo surrounding Andy Carroll's
England aspirations last season, these seem obscure answers. Strange!

Mark Noble is expected to return to first team duty on October 18 for the
away trip to Burnley. ClaretandHugh has had it confirmed from inside the
club that he is highly unlikely to be involved on Sunday against QPR and
will be given two weeks over the international break to recover from his
shin/calves injury,. Diego Poyet looks set to continue in the midfield role
where he looked comfiortable at Old Trafford last weekend.. Meanwhile, Guy
Demel who took a knock in training and Matt Jarvis both face late fitness
tests for the arrival of the west Londoners. And we have also learned that
Cheikhou Kouyate remains on target to return on November 8
