Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to The Hawthorns for today’s game with Bournemouth.

I’d like to welcome Eddie Howe and everyone from Bournemouth who is with us here today. They’re obviously a club that means a lot to me, having signed there and played in a promotion season under Harry Redknapp, then coached and managed for the first time in my career.

We’ve maintained our good run of form and results over the last few weeks by taking four points from the games against Stoke and West Ham. Last time we were at The Hawthorns, I thought we played ever so well in the first half especially and we could have had two or three goals before the break instead of just the one. Second half they came back into it and we had to dig in a bit more, but I felt we were always in control of the game and got the win that we thoroughly deserved.
