West Brom hero Ally Robertson says manager Tony Pulis needs a win against West Ham.

Writing for the Express & Star, Robertson opined: "I don't think anyone will be underestimating the importance of Saturday's game to Albion and particularly Tony Pulis.

"The head coach desperately needs a win against West Ham at The Hawthorns to ease some pressure after a poor run which, let's not forget, stretches back to the end of last season. Yet for all the criticism which has come his way after last weekend's defeat to Bournemouth, Pulis was right when he said these are the times when everyone needs to be pulling in the same direction.

"No matter the frustration which still lingers over the transfer window and no matter how many supporters might feel about the head coach's tactics, on Saturday we need everyone in the ground to be right behind the team from minute one."
