Billy Batts
Striker
Speaking to west ham season ticket holder today and he said expect you to get a lead and then sit back rest of the game. The only time he tried to attack was if the opposition pulled a goal back. Hes not proactive hes reactive was what he was getting at. So pretty much like we were under MoN then.I'm glad Allardyce has joined us and I think he'll keep us up but I'm under no illusions what the football is going to be like at times. Plenty of 0-0's and hopefully some 1-0's in our favour but there will be games when we will be ultra defensive, barely having a shot and lose. There will be plenty on here moaning about the style of football after a few defeats like that. His style is to concede possession and nick something from a free kick or corner before sitting back and defending the lead. Most people will accept that this season but longer term, I guarantee the more turgid defeats we get, where we show no attacking ambition, the less popular he will become, just like at his other clubs.
