Bad hands, different boo boys and an Albion surprise: Things you may have missed from West Brom's QPR win
West Brom signed off the calendar year with a victory - as head coach Ryan Mason picked up a much needed win.
Goals from George Campbell and Nat Phillips were enough to hand Albion a victory which leaves them in 16th.
Jonny Drury looks at three things you may have missed from the game.
More bad decisions
Fans didn't want to hear it after Bristol City and they didn't after Hull.
For all the negativity about the displays and the results, which is justified, the decisions Albion have faced from the officials in recent weeks have been dreadful.
From Alfie Gilchrist's red card for a nothing tackle against Hull - to the goal that should not have stood against City.
Then the red card that wasn't given - that was bad enough. They did have a hand in those results, maybe not fully but they did.
And then against QPR, they drew level after an awful decision was given as a free kick which led to their goal.
Mason has not been happy about decisions, and has repeatedly said about EFL letters being sent to the club.
It isn't the reason Albion are where they are - but they have been dealt bad hands.
Boo boys - but for different reasons
Booing has been a regular thing at Albion in recent weeks.
Towards Mason and the players, fans have directed their anger and displeasure at displays and results.
But there were boos for other reasons last night.
A smattering as they went off at the break, even though it was 1-1.


There were even the odd boo in the team news when the lineups were read out.
But the biggest one was when he hooked Mikey Johnston in the second half.
Loud boos rang out around the ground with fans unhappy with the call.
Mason later said it was fitness related which you can understand - but the fans were less than impressed.
Bigger crowd
A lot of pre-match talk was around the attendance and how many would stay away.
But actually, it was surprising to see so many at The Hawthorns.
The attendance said just shy of 23,500 - which is not always accurate with season tickets etc.
But it was better, better than Boxing Day. It may have looked more sparse had Albion been beaten - but fans were coming on.
Maybe they just wanted to get out of the house at Christmas - who knows!
