Championship: West Brom Fans Right To Vent Their Frustration - Ajayi

Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria's Super Eagles defender, Semi Ajayi, has said that West Bromich Albion fans have every right to vent their frustration after the team stuttered in the promotion charge, BSNsports.com.ng gathered.

On paper, Baggies have the team that can compete for promotion but they sit 12th in the Championship table, seven points outside the play-offs and with a return to the Premier League looking highly unlikely.

Ajayi who is presently in the Super Eagles camp while speaking with England's news outlet, express and Star, said the fans have the right to be annoyed but urged teammates to rise to the occasion.

" The crowd's reaction recently has been understandable," the centre-back said.

"If you want to play for a big club, you have to understand the expectations are high.

"The fans are expecting us to be challenging high up the league and winning games.

"If that's not happening, they have every right to show their displeasure.

"As players, we have to be big enough to take that on our shoulders and react positively to that."

While Albion has had a poor campaign so far, Ajayi has impressed in recent weeks.

The defender has played every minute of every game since Steve Bruce became boss.
