Sam Allardyce hails West Ham United's goal threat

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce believes that his side have plenty of goal threat this season, with a number of players ready to contribute their fair share.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce believes that there are a plenty of goals in his squad this season.

Allardyce is confident that his side can share the goals around while striker Andy Carroll recovers from a heel injury.

Joe Cole and Kevin Nolan stepped up to score in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cardiff City, and Allardyce feels that other squad members will also be on target throughout the campaign.

"Sharing it about is what it's all about, we shared the goals out superbly well last year," the former Blackburn Rovers manager told reporters.

"Kevin got 10, Andy got eight and the rest of the lads got twos and ones and threes all over the park which was great in helping us get to 10th. [Modibo Maiga] has got some goals in him and we think the more he plays and the more opportunities he gets, the more he'll score.

"Kevin is a Premier League goalscorer if used in the right way. He's always scored a huge amount of goals which is very, very difficult today. There's only Frank Lampard who probably scores more than him from midfield."

The Hammers face Newcastle United next Saturday.
