Sam Allardyce urges West Ham United bounceback

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce believes that his side need to win both their upcoming Premier League matches against Fulham and Crystal Palace.

The Hammers suffered a 3-0 home loss to Chelsea in the London derby on Saturday.

"The ultimate of any season in the Premier League is how well you do against the teams that, if you're in the bottom when you play them, or even if you're not in the bottom when you play them, it's how well you do against them," he told Sky Sports News.

"I think that we've got two games in four days against Fulham and Crystal Palace, and we've got to go all out to get as many points as we possibly can.

"We're getting to the stage where we've got to be winning now rather than drawing."

West Ham are currently 17th in the league table with 10 points from 12 matches.
