The match against the Claudio Ranieri's visitors ended with a host of youngsters on the pitch - including Darren Lough, Charlie Barnett, Matthew Pattison, James Troisi and David Edgar - but Allardyce is determined to avoid putting too much pressure on inexperienced players.
Allardyce: "We are still very much in the transfer market. If we started the season with the same side that ended this match it would be a disaster. We're still after experienced, quality players.
"They played well. But it doesn't change anything - we're still light on numbers."
