West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he is confident of getting automatic promotion this season even though his side dropped yet more points in the Championship.
West Ham United at one of the favourites to qualify for the automatic promotion spots, but at the last few weeks has witnessed a major turnover in the fortunes of the club.
West Ham United lost more ground in the race for finishing top of the Championship after they could only manage a draw against rivals Doncaster.
All the top teams in the Championship have been suffering a poor form of late, which has allowed teams from the play-offs position to catch them.
Reading have been one of the most impressive of the teams in the play-offs position, as they have managed five victories on the bounce. They are now level on points with West Ham United after Sam Allardyce’s men could only draw against Doncaster Rovers during the weekend.
