The West Bromwich Albion midfielder came in for criticism yesterday.
West Bromwich Albion moved back to the top of the Championship on Saturday.
Slaven Bilic’s side beat Luton Town 2-0 at The Hawthorns to leapfrog Leeds United at the summit.
A Donervon Daniels own goal opened the scoring for West Brom, who doubled their advantage with 20 minutes to go through Semi Ajayi.
It wasn’t a cracking performance by the Baggies, but a lot of them did just enough to see off the Hatters – well, most of them.
There are some West Brom fans on Twitter who are calling out midfielder Romaine Sawyers for his display.
Sawyers, a £2.9 million signing from Brentford last summer [Express and Star], saw a lot of the ball and used it well, though there wasn’t much penetration in his passing.
Here’s how fans reacted to the 28-year-old’s display:
Because the win, Sawyer’s performance isn’t that big of a deal, but on occasion where Bilic’s side don’t pick up the three points then it could be a problem.
He has definitely been a good signing for Albion and, with 90.6 percent, he has a better passing accuracy than any other Championship midfielder, but there are times when the game passes him by and that’s something to work on.
