Sam Allardyce rues missed chances

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce insists that his side should have defeated Newcastle United in this afternoon's Premier League clash.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has expressed disappointment at the quality of his side's finishing following their 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

The Hammers boss insists that he was content with a point, but believes that his side should have taken all three.

"We are not disappointed, but we know we should have won this game and can only blame ourselves for our lack of finishing quality," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.

"It is not that often when you play away from home and create three or four clear-cut goalscoring chances - one for Stewart Downing, one for Modibo Maiga and one for Kevin Nolan, but unfortunately our heading ability was not up to scratch.

"The point is well received, but we all know we should have had all three today. It is very satisfying to come away from home and get a point, so four points from two games is a good start."

The result moves West Ham in second place in the Premier League for the time being.
