West Brom fans frustrated with Stoke draw but single out duo for praise
Jonny Drury caught up with West Brom fans after they watched their side held to a 1-1 draw with Stoke City.
Albion were on top early on before Lyndon Gooch's cross evaded Alex Palmer and went in off the woodwork.
The Baggies responded through Brandon Thomas-Asante but despite second half chances they couldn't find a winner.

00:00 Callum, 1-1 draw but was it a case of two points dropped in the end really?
00:11 Yeah I think so, I think it was an even game overall, I think we had chances in the second
00:15 half to kill the game off but ultimately the points probably fared on reflections.
00:20 Yeah I think pretty much any time we're at home, I think we're a top six side, I think
00:26 we'll finish in the top six, I think we should be beating just about anybody at home so yeah
00:30 two points dropped I'd say.
00:32 No we're not on the pitch, just a bit of a lack of stoke, I'm stoked, I do get stoked
00:42 quite a lot.
00:44 And just on the performance, who stood out for you, I personally thought Wallace was
00:48 exceptional today and there was a few other bright sparks, who stood out for you?
00:51 Yeah Wallace had a good game today, he's having a good season, of course I think Keef Rae's
00:55 been immense and he continues to be a rock in that centre-back position for us, as has
01:00 Barkley, so yeah I think they're probably the two stand-out performances today.
01:05 Yeah I thought it was really good today, he made some really good runs, I thought Keef
01:08 Rae was really good as well, he's improving all the time I think, some of the other players,
01:13 I think Dejan Gardner looked done when they took him on, so I don't know what's going
01:18 on there.
01:19 What about young fellas when he comes on, do you think he's pushing for a start now?
01:22 I think so, I think he deserves it as well to be honest.
01:26 Going into the busy festive period now, two tough away games, two tough games here as
01:30 well, what are your hopes for those four games over Christmas?
01:34 I think four points, I think we've got to try and at least pick up a win, I think if
01:38 we can get three points and then pick up a draw over the festive period, I think it's
01:41 a lot of games, we've got a lot of injuries at the moment, if we can scrape through like
01:44 we did against Rotherham on Tuesday night, I think it'll be a good return for us.
01:49 Up to Swansea is it?
01:52 Up to Swansea, yeah.
01:53 I'd be happy with seven points, six to seven points, I think two home games are tough aren't
02:00 they?
02:01 I'll take the six points to be fair, because I think at least three of those sides are
02:05 going to finish in the top half if not four, so six points would be, it doesn't sound
02:10 like a lot, but it's a point and a half a game which is just about right for the playoffs
02:13 and it's playing four tough teams, so if we can win a couple, if we can win the home
02:19 games or win two of those games, I'd be happy with that.
02:21 So the 29th, desperate for a win, I know these fans, desperate for a win.
02:26 But hoping for a couple of wins, pretty good Christmas?
02:29 Definitely, yeah, definitely, we need to, the point's starting on.
02:32 We need to get the playoff push as well, right?
02:34 Yeah, I mean I know these got a point yesterday, we should be able to get three points today.
02:38 Yeah, definitely.
