Allardyce: I would never question West Ham fans' support

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce knows fans are unhappy about their recent form.

He understands their frustrations that results are not going as planned as present and vowed to get them roaring with approval again as soon as possible.

"We've been in the Premier League for 18 months and I've had nothing to criticise the fans for. I don't criticise them booing on Saturday because they expected a better show against the opposition than they saw.

"They would have not booed us if we'd given a better show than we did against Manchester City. They pay their money and if they don't see the sort of passion, determination and desire they think they should then they'll show their disapproval.

"You've got to give them something to shout about. We can't expect them to cheer to get a goal unless we're giving them something to cheer. They're electric and they help us an enormous amount.

"I didn't ever think I would be sat here now when we've lost four games at home already. Last season we only lost four at home all season and now we've lost four in 12 so I've got a massive dilemma on how to turn that back around again."
