WANDERERS boss Sam Allardyce is anxiously playing a waiting game over the threatened players strike with his club likely to be one of the first affected.

He said: "We are one of the first clubs to actually have a live game planned when we go to Tottenham (on Monday, Dec 3)."

He said: "I will have to take a view of how we are going to proceed when we get closer to December 1.

"I am just waiting to hear what the procedures will be if this industrial action is going to continue until that date. Hopefully before then the problem will have been resolved."
