West Brom player ratings v QPR: String of 7s with 6s as Albion pick up much needed victory
Jonny Drury rates the West Brom players after their narrow 2-1 win over QPR - as they signed off 2025 with a victory.
Joe Wildsmith
A deflection killed him for the goal although he did seem to dive after the ball. Aside from that, comfortable with a good punch late on and did okay following a Boxing Day to forget.
Better 6
George Campbell
Almost put Albion ahead and then he did, with a towering first half header. Was unfortunate for the QPR goal was he was penalised for a very soft foul. Did okay aside from that, good in possession and assured.
Goal 7
Nat Phillips
Best game in a while for Phillips. Assured, won his headers and just looked more calm and comfortable, certainly as the game wore on. Set up a chance early on for Johnston and then headed home what turned out to be the winner.
Winner 7
Charlie Taylor
Needed a response from Boxing Day and got it. In at centre half and did well, more so because he was not noticeable. Quiet and assured and put a in a big tackle late on with QPR getting forward.
Improved 7
