Sears out to impress Allardyce

West Ham striker Freddie Sears hopes he has played his way into manager Sam Allardyce's thoughts ahead of Saturday's clash with Blackpool. The 21-year-old came on as a late substitute in the 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last Saturday before scoring a fine goal in a friendly win over Thurrock in the week."The aim is to catch the manager's eye," Sears told West Ham TV. "Every time you play you have to give him something to think about."I was delighted to score at Thurrock, to get on the pitch and get some minutes. It was about doing the job properly and that is what we did."The ambition is to get a start. Obviously it's hard at the minute, there are a lot of good players in the squad."Everyone is in the same boat, you have to do your best to try to get in the starting XI."
