West Brom lost top place in the Championship for the first time in a while after they failed to win against Swansea.
The Baggies have now failed to win in three matches and a failure to score against Wigan and Swansea may be of concern to Slaven Bilic and the squad, though it isn’t showing.
Romaine Sawyers spoke after the match having made a return to action following suspension, and his positivity suggests that he and his teammates are capable of showing enough in the remaining nine matches.
The midfielder spoke of the importance of those games and how he is treating them “like finals”, which shows the level of commitment that the team is prepared to show, and they will hope they can produce the quality to match.
The 28-year-old has impressed many throughout the season, including manager Slaven Bilic who has started him in 33 league fixtures this term. Some fans have praised Sawyers once more after the Swansea match.
Sawyers will likely have an important role to play over the next few weeks as he has been key to West Brom’s possession-based style of play, achieving 90% pass accuracy to help the Baggies to an average of 54% possession across the Championship season.
However, in the run-in at the end of the season it is often fight and desire that enables teams to continue winning, as fatigue and nerves could set in when the Premier League draws insight.
