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 />
