English Championship: West Brom Is In Good Shape- Ajayi

English Championship side West Bromwich Albion secured their third consecutive victory on Saturday and Nigerian International Semi Ajayi believes the team is in shape to get promotion to the premier league, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Baggies defeated Hull City 3-1 at the Hawthorn with the Nigeria's Super Eagles defender netting the third goal.

The lanky defender further believed that by the time all the injured players returned after the International break the team would become better.

 “I thought it was resilient. There were times when we had to dig in, they had spells where they were on top but I think the shape and the resilience of the boys were excellent for riding through the waves.

“We managed to capitalize on our spells when we were on top and managed to kill the game off, so it was a really good performance all-round.

“To be fair, I wasn’t in there at half-time, I was out getting warmed up, getting myself ready because I knew Barts was struggling a little bit. So I was out on the pitch doing what I needed to do to make sure I was ready if and when I was called upon.

“I’m sure the gaffer just told the boys where they were going wrong and little fine tunings here and there and it seems like the boys took it on board because the second half was a lot better.

“There’s been confidence from the first day of the season, we’re very much aware of the capabilities in that dressing room.

“We’ve got full belief in the gaffer as well. Now it’s just about putting the performances together, the team’s gelling well.

“We’re starting to welcome a few players back from injury, and more after the international break. I’m sure there will be a few more, so the squad’s in a really good place.”

“I’m delighted, the boys put in a really good shift today, so I’m delighted", he said.
