A big run of form for the Baggies must continue.

00:00 West Bromwich Albion are making a bit of a play-off charge. They are some fair few people's
00:07 favourites to ensure that they are in those play-off positions by the end of the season.
00:13 They've got to draw a wet hole. It's a play-off rival. It's a point away from home. They're
00:17 starting to look more professional as the weeks go on.
00:22 They are looking really professional and composed. Early in the season away from home, the performances
00:26 weren't great. The results weren't great. Now I know it wasn't a win away at Hull, but
00:31 their direct competitors and rivals in this fight to keep them below is really important.
00:36 One point of difference at the moment. If it wasn't for Darnell Furlong scoring and
00:39 Hull went on to get all three points, all of a sudden the baggies in the team in sixth
00:43 that everyone's chasing, although the gap is not as big as they'd hoped. Four points
00:47 at the moment to seventh and eighth. Just having that extra point makes a difference.
00:51 As I say, I think it's more important just to keep Hull below them. Obviously the winner,
00:55 Plymouth, before 3-0. Soon after defeat to Southampton was disappointing, but there were
01:00 some positive signs at the end of the first half. And then of course the wins over Cardiff
01:03 and the draw at Ipswich. There's some good performances, more consistency being built.
01:08 Even when Carlos Corbijn has had his suspension, it didn't seem to make too much of a difference
01:12 because the players know exactly what they need to do now. The style has been fully implemented
01:15 and it's good to see. I see West Brom definitely finishing in that top six as much as fans
01:20 might be apprehensive.
