The team pass success rate was 90%. We have to consider that it was Huddersfield and that they held us at bay through the first half, but McCallum's goal broke through and the passes flowed. Confidence has returned with 14 points from the last 7 games and now we have the players returning from injury for a run of matches over Christmas. Hwang looked good and Gibson provided another left footed option at the back. We've now completed half the season and everything looks a lot more positive.
Sainz is some player. I'd put his goal in the same bracket as some of Pukki's best. The timing and accuracy of the shot were as good as you'll see.
Yes, we're left to wonder what the first half of this season might have been if Sainz and Sargent had been available throughout. The timing and accuracy of McCallum's header was admirable as well. WhoScored's final ratings:
Can't really argue with those ratings I thought it was a very good performance. West Brom aren't in amazing form and we didn't have an amazingly taxing game so we have to be cautiously optimistic for that game,
We're currently 3rd in the form table over the last 5 games. West Brom are 18th with 4 points from 5 games.
