West Brom captain Chris Brunt today set his sights on an unusual hat-trick as he targeted a third successive scoring trip to QPR.

The Baggies wideman has netted on his last two visits to Loftus Road and previously notched for Sheffield Wednesday at the same ground.

And he is eyeing another goal when Roy Hodgson’s men travel to West London on Saturday.

Brunt scored for Sheffield Wednesday in a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road, found the net in the 2-0 win that clinched the Championship title for Albion in 2008 then claimed the consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat two seasons ago.

He said: “I’ve been there twice with West Brom and the results were very different.

“I managed to get on the scoresheet both times, which is pleasing.

“I also scored there the time before that with Sheffield Wednesday.

“I’ve got a couple of grounds like that in my career – I’ve scored a few goals at Coventry as well.

“It’s always nice to score but the result is the main thing.

“They’ve started the season well as a newly-promoted side after adding a lot of new faces in the summer.

“We know it’s not going to be easy.

“It’s always a difficult place to go being a tight ground and the atmosphere is always pretty hot.

“It will be a tough game but one we’re equipped to deal with.”

And Brunt is hoping for better fortunes in front of goal this week after missing a good chance to get on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Tottenham.

“We’re disappointed with Saturday’s result,” said the wide-man.

“We thought we deserved to win the game but Spurs have that bit of quality and it paid off for them in the end.

“Adebayor scored two goals and his flick set up the second goal.

“That came in a period when we were doing well in the game.

“In the first half I thought we were very good and the penalty knocked the stuffing out of us again.

“I should at least have hit the target with my chance.

“Mozza (James Morrison) did well to pull it back, it sat up well, and I just tried to get good contact on it.

“I probably got too good a contact on it – that’s the best way I can describe it.

“It was pretty close – but that doesn’t mean anything!

“It shows you how fine the difference is between winning and losing.”
