West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce knew goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen would be just the man Jaaskelainen was the star performer on show at Carrow Road as he made a string of fine saves to keep Norwich at bay and showed he has lost none of his ability to compete at the highest level. Most West Ham supporters would point to the loan capture of Andy Carroll as the signing of the summer, but Allardyce feels his new number one will prove to also be one of his biggest additions to the squad. Allardyce said: "I know that Jussi's strength was the coaching that Fred Barber used to give him at Bolton which he lost. I knew that when he got with our goalkeeping coach, he would put him back into a good frame of mind and rekindle all the old experience he used to have. Perhaps he'd lost faith in himself a little bit and lost faith because he wasn't playing. But Marge has rekindled his confidence and put him in the right frame of mind. When you've got the experience that he's got and when you're in your mid-30s today you're still a very good goalkeeper if you want to be. If you look at Brad Friedel he's 41 now. So we know that being in your mid to late 30s is not a problem any more. It's using that experience and having the dedication to keep your body right, which he does. You have to wonder how Green must now be feeling watching Jaaskelainen put on the West Ham jersey, especially as his summer move to QPR has not gone according to plan and he appears to be second choice behind recent signing Julio Cesar. You also have to question how long Chris Hughton will have to wait before he can record the first Premier League win for Norwich. Things are certainly not going according to plan for the new man in charge at Carrow Road and with the next four games against Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, it looks to be a long winter ahead. Hughton will be concerned by the poor form being shown by his influential forward Grant Holt who looks a shadow of the player who scored 17 goals last season and is yet to get on the score sheet. Hughton said: "You go away to Tottenham and get a draw and it is a very good result. But against QPR and West Ham here I felt we should have deserved three points from both. Yes, there is a concern and a bit of a frustration that we haven't got more points. But I would certainly be more concerned if our performances were not what they are. We just need that cutting edge in front of goal. We are certainly looking more solid defensively as a team, but we need something that is going to get us wins.
