West Ham boss pleased with performance despite lack of goals
Sam Allardyce brushed off the boos at the end of West Ham's goalless draw with Bristol City, whose boss Derek McInnes thought it was a good point.
The second placed Hammers squandered a host of chances at Upton Park as they fell five points behind Championship leaders Southampton.
Sections of the Upton Park faithful showed their frustration when Allardyce hauled off Saturday's two-goal hero Sam Baldock, and again at the final whistle.
But Allardyce said: "Was it harsh? Absolutely, 100 per cent, yes.
Performance
"That's what fans can do if they feel we haven't won a game we should have won. But they can't be disappointed with the performance."
Allardyce added: "It was a frustrating night for us all.
"If you have 19 attempts on goal and 10 on target ultimately you expect win the game. But if the performances carry on like that we will win far more than we draw or lose.
"I couldn't ask any more from the lads. We broke them down magnificently, created chances but couldn't find the finishing quality to get the ball into the net. But it was an outstanding performance."
Brighter future
For City, the future is suddenly looking brighter after they followed up their first victory in 10 weeks by grabbing a point which hauled them off the foot of the table.
McInnes said: "I thought we carried a threat the whole game and in the second half, when West Ham got the ball forward quicker, we stood up to it well.
"Overall it's a good point for us. We started the day at the bottom and West Ham are second, they are among the favourites to go up and rightly so.
"But it just shows that if you do enough of the right things on the night you can come away with a point, and we are delighted to get one."
