Ally Robertson backing Lescott for West Brom success

Ally Robertson is backing Joleon Lescott for success at West Bromwich Albion.

Robertson played more than 600 times for Albion before captaining Wolves to back-to-back promotions.

He discussed Lescott's Wolves background with the Express & Star: "When I started at Wolves I got a lot of stick, but you get on with your game and, once you start winning, all that is gone.

"If we (Albion) have a bad start and don't win games he will get a bit of stick. But as long as things go well and people can see he's trying, he'll be fine.

"He's a great signing for us and you can only hope we will sign three, four or five other players of that standard."
