Roy scared

                

  An impressive performance in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Manchester United has prompted calls for Carroll to be drafted back into the England fold, but Allardyce believes Hodgson is mindful of the repercussions of such a decision.I'm not going for any of that stuff about Rooney being on the way down. Against us I thought he was really good and some of his passing was excellent. He can play anywhere as far as I'm concerned but I do think he works well off a dominant striker.Roy would be scared to do it because of the reaction he'd get," said Allardyce. "He would be accused of a direct approach and people would be on his case.Michael Owen always used to say he had his most productive spell when he was up front with Emile Heskey.But playing Andy does not make you a long-ball team, it just gives you extra options. He is good on the floor and others can play off him.Heskey did not score many goals but Owen got plenty because of him. And the bonus with Andy Carroll is he is a better goalscorer than Heskey.Andy and Wayne Rooney together would work very well and it would benefit Wayne, who is often carrying England's hopes all on his own.
