West Ham United's Sam Allardyce worried by lack of goals

Sam Allardyce admits that his West Ham United side have not scored enough goals in the Premier League this season.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has admitted that his side need to start scoring more goals.

The Hammers have found the net just four times in their six Premier League matches this season, and with Andy Carroll out injured, Allardyce has said that his players need to start taking their chances.

"I don't think our season hinges on Andy getting back in the team. It'll obviously be a big help because he's a big, big player in many ways," he told the club's official website.

"Our failing has been that we have not lacked creating and making chances, but we have lacked the ability to score them. Hopefully, Andy will change that when he arrives but the other players can't keep missing as they are at the minute.

"That is the key element. We have to keep believing that those chances will eventually go into the back of the net and to keep creating them."

West Ham are currently 17th in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
