West Ham United manager Sam Allardyve has admitted that he is worried by the form of his side.

The Hammers lost 1-0 at Hull City yesterday courtesy of Robbie Brady's first-half penalty, and the result means that Allardyce's side are without a win in their last five games.

The next two fixtures see West Ham pitted against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, and Allardyce has conceded that it will be difficult to get a result in either match.

"We can play at our very, very best in the next two and get beaten," Allardyce told London24.com. "But we have to take it on the chin and try and get something from the next two games.

"It's worrying, yes. We haven't got anything out of the [Hull] game when we needed to get something.

"You're always trying to stay ahead of points per game and now we're falling behind."

Yesterday's loss saw West Ham drop to 17th place in the Premier League table.
