Championship – West Brom vs Fulham: Managers’ reactions
West Brom’s Steve Bruce: “It’s turned into a decent week, we’ve taken seven (points) from nine. Now I’m going to put the pressure on all of us… we have got a huge game at the weekend against Bristol. Can we go and repeat that performance before the international break?”
“There is probably too many chasing, but can we go on a run? We have got to back it up. We have to win at Bristol before the break. So let’s see, I’m not going to give it up.”
Fulham’s Marco Silva: “It was not good enough. In the first half we were not here – it was just our shirts on the pitch. I don’t want to be unfair on West Brom because they were the best team and they deserved to win.
“We didn’t express ourselves, and they did what we expected. Marek (Rodak) kept us in the game.
“In the second half it was a little bit different. We had a big chance with Mitro (Aleksandar Mitrovic) where we should have equalised.
“I don’t believe the job is done. I’m sure the players are not thinking this way.
“There are probably too many teams chasing but we have to win at Bristol on Saturday before the international break.”
