West Bromwich Albion are currently in a whole world of trouble.
West Brom ace Jonny Evans spoke to reporters about his side’s bitterly disappointing campaign thus far, and admitted that some players were forced to tears in the aftermath of their 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth last weekend, as quoted by BT Sport.
The Baggies currently sit firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, and their hopes of achieving survival seem bleak to say the very least, with 10 points separating both themselves and 17th placed West Ham United.
Alan Pardew has guided his team to just one single win in the Premier League since he took over at the Hawthorns back in November, and there certainly seems to be an air of resignation emanating from the club.
Evans opened up on just how much their last defeat hurt the players, when speaking to reporters, admitting that there were tears shed in the aftermath of the game at the Vitality Stadium, as quoted by BT Sport:
“After the Bournemouth game there was real disappointment in the changing room. It’s not like we have got to the point where we have accepted relegation. A lot of people have been writing us off. I understand with the position we are in it will be very difficult to get out of. There were a few tears after the game at the weekend because going into that game there was a lot of hope and optimism that we would get something from it and try to turn the season around even at this late stage. We were upset.”
Next up for the Baggies is a pair of home games against Burnley and Swansea City respectively, and nothing less than a return of six points will do, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of retaining their Premier League status this season.
