Teddy Sheringham has no doubts West Ham United players are right behind manager Sam Allardyce.
Sheringham remains in close contact with many of the West Ham squad - including former team-mate Mark Noble - and he was not surprised to see his old club rise to the challenge under Big Sam's leadership.
He told whufc.com: "I've spoken to a lot of the players at West Ham and they love Sam. That's the main thing - that the players are responding to the manager.
"A lot of times when you're struggling down the bottom, the players say things like 'I'm not having the manager' and all that.
"When the players openly say he's good to play for and he looks after you, that's half the battle."
