hoops<br />

long time ago now so I can’t really remember<br />

particular games he played in, but what I do know<br />

is he’s nearly 35 now and he still plays in the<br />

Championship! That means he must still be very<br />

fit and a very good player.<br />

Surprisingly, <strong>West</strong> Brom have struggled so far<br />

this season, but having recently appointed<br />

a new manager in Carlos Corberan, can we<br />

expect them to raise their game?<br />

Yes. I’ve watched a couple of their games on TV<br />

and their results may not have been that good<br />

but they are a good team and I don’t think they<br />

will stay at the bottom of the table. They have<br />

a new manager so they’ll be looking to bounce<br />

back and they’ll be coming for us today – it’s our<br />

job to keep them down there a little longer.<br />

By contrast, our start to the season has been<br />

a strong one overall. Was there one particular<br />

game when everyone suddenly realised we<br />

might be able to compete with the top teams in<br />

this league?<br />

I’m going to say Sheffield United. It was a very<br />

tough game for us and maybe it wasn’t our best<br />

game in terms of when we had the ball. But<br />

defensively we were very strong as a team, we did<br />

everything well and it was a good result to win at<br />

their place. That was the game where we showed<br />

our intentions and showed the whole country that<br />

we can compete at the top of the Championship.<br />

Including today, we’ve got three games left<br />

before the season is placed on hold for the<br />

World Cup. It’d be nice to reach that stage on a<br />

good run of form…<br />

I think it’s very important that we end strongly<br />

before the break. It doesn’t mean the rest of the<br />

season is going to be easy, of course – but it can<br />

send out a message again and we’re in a good<br />

position to do that.<br />
