Cedric Kipre blown away by support of West Brom fans
West Brom’s ‘amazing’ supporters are to thank for their current unbeaten home run this season, according to centre-back star Cedric Kipre.
The Championship outfit are yet to taste defeat at the Hawthorns so far this term, with all four of their league losses having come on the road under manager Valerien Ismael.
The Baggies have picked up 22 of their 37 points on home soil this season, with former Motherwell man Kipre insisting that such form would not have been possible without the club’s fanbase.
Speaking to West Brom’s official website, the 25-year-old said: “The supporters have been amazing this season and we haven’t lost at home because of them.
“We feel super confident at home and we know every time we step out on the pitch that the fans will be behind us – and if we have that nothing can stop us”.
Fortress
The Hawthorns has been something of a welcome solace in what’s been a slightly underwhelming campaign thus far, Ismael’s side having slipped six points behind the automatic promotions spots despite an initial strong start to the season.
With both Fulham and Bournemouth currently pulling away in what has become a two-horse race for the title, Albion may well be left fighting it out in the lottery of the play-off’s to secure their place back in the promised land of the Premier League.
If they can keep up their undefeated home run, however – with Reading to come on Saturday (11 December) – then there is seemingly no reason why the Baggies can’t bridge that gap to the two sides above.
