Forgotten man Luke Moore returns to the Albion frame next week insisting he has no regrets about his move to The Hawthorns despite a nightmare first month with the Baggies.
Moore is back in contention for Tuesday’s trip to Blackpool after a four-match lay-off that has spanned more than three weeks.
And the on-loan Villa man, who will make his loan move from Villa permanent in the summer for a fee of up to £3.5m, remains confident he made the right move.
Moore’s Albion career was thrown into early turmoil when he was sent off against Leicester. He was banned for three matches and is ineligible for the FA Cup.
Moore said: “I wanted a fresh start and the gaffer has been refreshing and the training sessions have been great.
“I’m thoroughly enjoying myself at the moment. It’s a man’s game and you just get on with things.
“The lads have been great and I just try to be there for them as much as I can. Everyone is pulling in the right direction and right now that’s what we need more than anything.
“We’ve got a good squad and everyone will play their part. The gaffer is great and everyone enjoys training and the lads can play good football, especially if we’re allowed to.
“We can play some really good football and I’m enjoying it. I think everyone has got to play a part. The boys have done well and now we need to push on.
“We need to get some clean sheets and if we do we will win game because the quality is there for everyone to see.”
Moore’s only action since his red card was an hour for England’s under-21s against Molineux.
But he reckons some intense training during his lay-off might actually make him better prepared for his return to action.
He said: “I was trying to get fit anyway because when I arrived I hadn’t played for a while so I was unfit. I was trying to get as fit as I could and I got sent off, which was unfortunate.
“But hopefully I’ll come back a bit fitter than I was before.”

Give this lad a chance. I think he’ll be a great player for us. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m willing to trust the manager, he hasn’t bought to many duds has he? While he’s wearing the striped shirt get behind him.
