West Ham boss Moyes accepts away fans jeers at Southampton

West Ham boss David Moyes accepts away fans jeers during yesterday's 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Moyes says he understands West Ham fans' frustrations after his decision to withdraw top scorer Gianluca Scamacca was jeered by the away end.

“I can understand it," Moyes said of his fans' response. “We were gung-ho, we were just looking at somebody who we thought had run out of steam. We got him further than we've got him in any other game, so no problem."

Moyes added: “I thought we played well enough, just couldn't turn our opportunities into goals. We had moments where we weren't good enough defensively but you'd have to say the bigger part was that our attacking play was very good and it just missed the finishing. Our build-up play and our opportunities are getting better and it's good to see."
