West Ham boss Allardyce excited about Carroll impact

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is delighted with Andy Carroll's goalscoring form.

Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "He may not be 100 per cent back to his best yet but he is getting better all the time and just think where we would be if he had been fit all season.

"My belief is that if Andy played a full season he would score 15 goals for us. He has the supply, the crosses going into the box and, remember, he's not only lethal with his heading, he can score on the deck as well.

"Add to that his influence on others, such as Kevin Nolan - who would have scored more - and I believe we would have been close to a European qualifying spot by now."
