Gareth McAuley hails West Brom spirit

West Brom defender Gareth McAuley today predicted the team’s dressing room bond will propel them away from the Premier League drop-zone.

The Baggies are in the bottom three after collecting just three points from six games, but McAuley insisted: “I definitely think we can climb the table.

“The players in the dressing room are fantastic and we see that every day in training. They are great players and they have a great togetherness and desire.”
