Sam Allardyce rues West Ham United "mistakes"

By Subhankar Mondal, Reporter | 09 November 2013

Sam Allardyce believes that West Ham United have only themselves to blame for their 3-1 away defeat to Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has lamented his side's "mistakes" that cost them the three points at Norwich City on Saturday.

Ravel Morrison gave the Hammers the lead in the 32nd minute at Carrow Road, but the hosts scored three times in the second half to register a 3-1 win in the Premier League clash.

"What disappoints me more is that the confidence we have gained from our away-performance results was there for all to see in the first half," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.

"I expected that one of the things we'd been short of was getting the first goal and going ahead, and I thought once we got that the lads were going to be as good as they've been all season - having conceded one goal away from home from a penalty that shouldn't have actually been a penalty.

"But then our own errors and our own mistakes have let Norwich back into a game that they shouldn't have got back into and we've ended up with no points instead of picking up points and a win. We've only ourselves to blame."

West Ham are currently 16th in the league table with 10 points from 11 matches.
