West Bromwich Albion are going strong in the Championship at the moment.
The 29-year-old forward played with Moore at Barnsley 2010, and the former Southampton has said that he and his teammates respect the manager.
Rodriguez told The Express & Star: “Everyone respects him as a manager and a person. I played with him, I’ve known him for a long time.
“The guy he is now is the guy everyone knows – the lads have taken to him well.
“He’s honest but he wants what everyone wants, which is to become better. That respect between people is massive in anything in life.”
Progress
Moore failed to prevent West Brom from getting relegated from the Premier League, but the Baggies are doing well in the Championship under him at the moment.
West Brom are currently at the top of the Championship table with 20 points from 10 matches, just a point above second-placed Leeds United.
There is a long way to go this season, but the Baggies do look strong, especially in the forward department.
Good form
Rodriguez himself has been good form for West Brom so far this season and has established himself as an important player in Moore’s team.
The 29-year-old forward – who joined the Baggies from Southampton in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £12 million – has scored seven goals in 10 Premier League appearances for Moore’s team so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
