Comment: Tom Fellows shows his quality as West Brom winger fires back with answer…
Tom Fellows recent drop off in form has raised some question marks around the winger.
The England under 21 international’s blistering early season form saw him rise to the top of the Championship assist charts – where he still sits, despite having a tough period recently.
Fellows has found himself on the bench in a few games, but also struggling to impact games as he did earlier in the campaign.
As many have pointed out, a lot of it has been to credit to him, and he has become arguably a victim of his own success.
Since his early season form, almost every single side, certainly at home, have been doubling up on him.
West Brom set for double boost ahead of crunch clash with Hull City..
Kyle Bartley and Tom Fellows are set to return for the visit of Hull City. Bartley wasn’t risked midweek against Burnley due to management of a knee problem while Fellows missed out on compassionate leave. But Tony Mowbray confirmed: “He’s (Kyle) trained, so, as long as there’s no reaction from that, he’ll have a fair chance of being involved. “He’s an important player, a big character and voice, fingers crossed he comes through the session, which he appeared to. “Tom trained. I had a little chat with him and he seems fine, seems as if he’s putting himself forward which is positive news for us.” Previewing Saturday’s game, he said: “The home games, on the back of a draw away in midweek, become a bigger three points. “I’m very respectful of Hull having watched a few of their games, they play
on the front foot, they’re an aggressive team, they are talented, it’s not a game where they will come, sit everybody behind the ball and try to get a draw. They are more positive than that. “It’s a dangerous game, one you might think we should be winning at home. But in the context and narrative I’ve been using about us, they are going to come and throw some punches. “They’re exciting. They are a bit similar to us in their mindset of attacking games. They don’t play for a draw. “At home, teams generally come and play behind the ball. This will be more open, a good match.
“One of the last teams to be pretty positive and come on the front foot was Portsmouth, they didn’t play in a deep block and we scored some goals. Let’s see how they deal with that conundrum.”
