Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is delighted for Sam Allardyce over West Ham United's resurgence this season.
Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Sam Allardyce seems to be getting the credit he deserves at last with another excellent result for West Ham last weekend.
"I have played against Allardyce's teams many times and knocking the ball long has always been one of their options but by no means the only one.
"When his Bolton team were at their best, the games against them were some of the hardest of the season.
"Those sides that included Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff could play football as well."
