The Baggies have always been known as a bit of a run-of-the-mill side in the Tavern…
The West Brom fans are a friendly bunch, though, and are always keen for a pint or two – and their team is doing pretty decently as well this season, which of course always helps relations!
The Baggies sit ninth going into the international break which is pretty good going and Tony Pulis will probably be delighted with how things have gone so far this season.
But there will be bigger tests ahead for Pulis’ side and he will have to start rotating his squad in the near future to keep players fresh. The same 11 players seem to be in the squad as of late and it might become a little predictable if he sticks with the same starting lineup.
So with that in mind, here’s THREE players Tony Pulis should start in every game from now…
Nacer Chadli
If there wasn’t any doubt already, Nacer Chadli could be the player behind some really exciting times ahead at West Brom.
With new owners that are willing to financially back them in the transfer window, there should be optimism at the Hawthorns – especially with Chadli playing so well of late.
He’s a class act that could be the difference for the Baggies on a number of occasions this season.
Hal Robson-Kanu
Matty Phillips really hasn’t hit the ground running for the Baggies and despite the fans pleas in the Tavern that he should start the next game, we’d like to see summer signing Hal Robson-Kanu be given a chance on the wing.
Pulis has openly praised the Welshman for his good training away from the first-team and he deserves a shot.
He was unreal during the Euros and deserves a chance in the Premier League.
Craig Gardner
With Darren Fletcher having a sloppy couple of games, we’d like to see former Birmingham City favourite Craig Gardner come into the first-team fold.
He’s been patient in waiting for a chance in the first-team but has never quite broken through the Fletcher-Yacob partnership favoured by Pulis.
But Gardner is gritty, hard-working and extremely good going forward and we’d like to see him given a chance.
Did we mention, he’s got a record for banging in worldies too!
