Robert Snodgrass sends Twitter message after West Brom beat Bristol City
Robert Snodgrass was delighted at playing the full 90 minutes as West Brom beat Bristol City 3-0 on Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
The 34-year-old has been a peripheral figure at the Hawthorns, and this was not only the first time he played the entire match this season, but it was also his first league start.
His only other start this campaign came in the 6-0 cup drubbing against Arsenal where he played 74 minutes.
He took to Twitter to say, “Great win WBA. 1st 90 minutes in a long time.”
Still got it
Not only were we surprised that the 34-year-old lasted the entire 90, but the fact that he can still put in a shift.
Mentally, as expected, he was one of the strongest out there, but even physically, we saw him putting his body on the line time and again.
For a player who had only played 29 minutes of league football this season, that was an off-the-charts performance and one that the Baggies fans will be extremely proud of.
The last time he played a full game for West Brom was back in February, in the Premier League against Sheffield United.
The Baggies, unfortunately, lost that one 2-1, so Snodgrass will be delighted that he ended up on the winning side this time around.
We’re not sure whether he will start the next one, but given how he did on against Bristol, we think he deserves at least 60 minutes against Fulham next Saturday.
