Nolan urges West Ham fans to get behind Allardyce

West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan is urging fans to get behind manager Sam Allardyce.

Nolan is hoping supporters who jeered their manager last week can now re-build a relationship with Allardyce.

Nolan said: "He's got a good rapport with the fans and I think they know he knows what he's doing. If he's given armoury, backing and everything he wants, he can build a team that will be challenging for Europe and doing it the right way.

"You only have to look back at what we had at Bolton when he was given the ammunition to go on and the situation he got us in. He got us into Europe twice and when he left, they struggled. It was a few boos on Wednesday and a few grumblings.

"Being around the supporters they've been fantastic with him and all the lads. It was a minority and hopefully they will change their minds and come on board quickly and we'll all be celebrating at the end of the season after a successful campaign."
