Upton Park replay holds no fear for Allardyce

Bolton 4 West Ham 1

The Bolton manager is desperate to get his hands on some silverware this season and continue the club’s remarkable progress.

While Allardyce is aware the Hammers are unlikely to play as badly again in the cup clash as they were on Saturday, he remains confident of progressing. He said: “I expect some of the players who were on their bench to start on Wednesday. After all we hit them really hard. I suspect Marlon Harewood, Yossi Benayoun and Dean Ashton will all be in the team.
