Karren Brady backs Sam Allardyce's team selection

West Ham United's vice chairman Karren Brady has said that Sam Allardyce was right to select a team for a "low-scoring match" against Hull City earlier this week.

The Hammers clinched a 2-1 win over 10-man Hull on Wednesday, but were booed by home supporters at Upton Park at full time.

Brady told The Sun: "Sam had selected a team for a low-scoring match, knowing what to expect against Hull, and could not have predicted he needed instead a team to play against 10 men.

"His actions on the pitch were prudent and, at this stage of the season, correct. There is no way I can accept my team being booed.

"Big Sam is so upset he complains that he has never heard a winning team booed. While this might not be strictly true, I doubt you would get the same at Fulham or Sunderland if they had won."

West Ham face Sunderland on Monday.
