# West Brom: Field departure enrages fans

**Lots of West Bromwich Albion fans have been fuming over the news that 22-year-old Baggies [academy product](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-field/transfers/spieler/387331) Sam Field has left The Hawthorns and joined Championship side Queens Park Rangers [on loan for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent move](https://www.wba.co.uk/news/field-completes-loftus-road-loan-move).**

\[freshpress-quiz id=”343772″\]

Field has made [45 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-field/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/387331/plus/0?saison=&verein=984&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) for the Baggies’ first-team in his career but only five of those appearances came in the 2020/21 campaign. He didn’t play a single game [under Sam Allardyce](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-field/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/387331/plus/0?saison=&verein=984&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=445) following his arrival at the West Midlands club in [mid-December](https://www.wba.co.uk/news/albion-appoint-sam-allardyce).

After The Express and Star’s Joseph Masi relayed this news of Field’s departure [via a tweet](https://twitter.com/JosephMasi_Star/status/1356380808412602410), his post got many West Brom fans talking.

### **So, how have these West Brom fans been reacting to this news?**

This news has drawn a negative reaction from many Albion supporters, with some indicating that they believe their club is making a mistake by doing this deal.

Allardyce’s side haven’t exactly shown fantastic form since he took over, with midfielders like Jake Livermore in particular[drawing plenty of criticism](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-brom-news/west-brom-baggies-jake-livermore-sam-allardyce-fulham-hawthorns/), so it is perhaps not surprising to see fans baffled by Field’s departure.
