The result at Hull left Albion fans with a similar feeling to that after the match at Sunderland – a lost opportunity. The Baggies should have come away with all three points at a struggling team, but left with only one.
After recording successive Premier League wins for the first time since January, Albion head to the KC Stadium on Saturday looking to make it a hat-trick against struggling Hull City.
Back to back wins for the Baggies have lifted them into the top half of the table and, from a season comparison point of view, this campaign is now second only to the remarkable start enjoyed by Steve Clarke back in 2012.
After the impressive victory at the home of the champions last time out, it could be said that the international break came at the wrong time for Albion but, the two Scotland players aside, it’s not been a bad week for the international Baggies.
As I said in my article on Saturday, Pulis normally gets a result when he needs one. He definitely needed one against Leicester and Phillips’ winner provided it.
After successive matches against three of this season’s top five, Albion take a trip to the home of the reigning champions on Sunday on a run of five games without a win, and having managed just two wins in their last nineteen Premier League games.
