Goal hero urges West Brom to keep fighting as survival battle heats up
Goal hero George Campbell has urged Albion to take the battling spirit from Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Sheffield United into the rest of their Championship survival fight.
The defender went from villain to hero at Bramall Lane by thumping home a stunning 25-yard equaliser to earn the Baggies a point which pulled them out of the drop zone, having earlier put through his own net.
Campbell and his team-mates were given a warm reception following the final whistle, seven days after being booed off after a dire defeat at Oxford.
The USA international reckons players have now set the standard for the effort required over the run-in.
He said: “At Oxford, we kind of gave up at the end of the game as a collective.
“Well, maybe not gave up, but we allowed our heads to drop too much.
“On Saturday, we really fought and scrapped to get back in the game. That was the difference and we are going to need that for the final 10 matches of the season.”
