Intro:
West Ham United coach Sam Allardyce looks ahead to Saturday's trip to Stoke City in the English Premier League (30th October).
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Sam Allardyce, West Ham United coach:
(on whether there is surprise at the club lying in fourth place in the Premier League table)
"Not particularly, I think that I sense the joy around the camp, I sense the goodwill feeling... that buzz that hits the day to day work of the team. Obviously, it's about them maintaining or trying to maintain their level of performance or bettering it now, and me to just make sure that they apply themselves in training correctly... and mentally prepared for Saturday and Stoke City after a big result, you know, a team that's the underdog, when it gets a big result, can often, very often, lose the next game and that's what I've got to try and guard against... we may lose the next game, but what I have to make sure (of) is to try and get the best performance out of the team I can and that performance to try and match the performance they gave against Manchester City."
SOUNDBITE (English) Sam Allardyce, West Ham United coach:
(on Saruday's away game at Stoke City)
"Again, Sparky (Stoke City coach Mark Hughes) has been rotating his team, he's got a few new players in again and some of the results have been good and some of the results haven't been so good, so looking for that consistency level that, like I've said, we have found. We have found that consistent performance level and of course with the goalscorers we've got in the team now, it allows us to go out and win games rather than draw them."
