Hodgson feels West Brom side has enough character to perform at home

West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson believes his players are professional enough to turn their home woes around.

The Baggies record at The Hawthorns this season is two wins, two draws and seven losses from 11 outings and Hodgson is aware that his fact is costing his team.

West Brom host Swansea City tomorrow and although Hodgson is expecting a tricky test, he feels that his players are up to the task of winning in front of their hopeful fans who will be expecting a positive result.

"We're all aware of that, so there will be some anxiety and you can do nothing about it,” he said.

"The only way you can put it right is to win games because otherwise it becomes a bigger problem every time you step out on to your home pitch.

"I think there's enough quality in the team, enough experience in the team, enough spirit in the team to overcome these things.

"It would be nice to start that but if we can't then it will have to be the next game."
