West Ham boss Allardyce hoping for injury-free Carroll

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is hoping for an injury-free run for Andy Carroll.

Allardyce admits the striker has it all to prove next season.

"For both the seasons we have had Andy, it has not been fantastic and he needs to change that," he said.

"He got the injury and then we had the misdiagnosis on it and that meant a long spell out.

"When he first came we saw the best of him with a good run of goals in the last few matches. Now we want that consistently."
