West Brom boss Pardew: We need winning momentum

West Brom boss Alan Pardew admits they need to find some winning momentum if they're to beat the drop.

Bottom-of-the-table West Brom will resume their survival challenge seven points from the safety of 17th place - a position currently occupied by Huddersfield, who visit The Hawthorns next weekend in a huge Premier League clash.

"We can only salvage it by getting some momentum," Pardew said.

"We had a little bit of momentum when we went to Liverpool and got that result [3-2 win on January 27]. Unfortunately, we suffered four injuries that week.

"We've got to stay injury free, we've got to try and get a win against Huddersfield and take that momentum into the next few games because three wins in this division, as Swansea have proven, changes your position massively, and that's what we need to do.

"I thought there were some good things to take from the [FA Cup] game.

"I think anybody who was there will see that was a proper fight and a proper effort. We need to take that into the next game."
