Pards Backs Reo-Coker

Speaking to Sky Sports West Ham manager Alan Pardew has backed his under fire captain Nigel Reo-Coker, so it looks like the player will be given another chance on Sunday.

"Our captain I'm expecting to lead us on Sunday the way he led us last year with that drive and commitment. He has done an incredible favour to play on the side of the team for us for the last two games. That has restricted him, but he will be back to his best on Sunday."

Most of the other papers seem to have picked up hints from Pardew that Sheringham will start up front and that Dailly will play at right back for West Ham.
