Hindolo Mustapha reacts as Crystal Palace fan spotted at West Brom draw vs Stoke – ‘Crazy’
Eric Ramsay is still in search of his first win as the Baggies’ head coach.
It has been five league games for the new man in charge, with two draws and three losses his current record at The Hawthorns.
In their most recent match, West Brom drew 0-0 against Stoke City, and that point was enough to pull them out of the relegation zone for now.
Leicester City’s points deduction has certainly helped, as the Foxes are now placed below the Midlands club, following their defeat to Birmingham City.
The winter transfer window signings will be hoping to have a positive impact, but Hindolo Mustapha was not able to affect the game against the Potters.
Hindolo Mustapha spotted watching West Brom draw vs Stoke
Mustapha was a deadline day signing for West Brom, as the young attacking midfielder joined from Crystal Palace.
Unfortunately, Mustapha was not yet fit to start immediately, or even feature, and would have to watch on from the sidelines instead.
There were quite a few connections to the Eagles on display against Stoke, as Danny Imray featured for West Brom, and 23-year-old Jesurun Rak-Sakyi started for the opposition.
One Crystal Palace fan could not help himself by viewing the occasion to see three of his side’s players out on loan and watched the match at The Hawthorns.
Yichen Peter Zheng, the Palace fan, would then end up sitting directly behind Mustapha, who reacted by saying it was “crazy”.
While he never got to see Mustapha in action, he may have been disappointed with the minutes shown to others from Selhurst Park.
Imray already looks to be out of favour under Ramsay, with his minutes being limited since making the switch.

West Brom could do with Mustapha’s qualities
As an attacking midfielder, West Brom could have been better off if Mustapha had been fit to play Stoke City.
Against the Potters, Ramsay’s side struggled to create chances, creating just 0.38 xG according to Sofascore. They had just two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes.
Defensively, they were solid, as they thwarted the opposition in the same regard, who created roughly the same level of chances in what was not a classic scoreless draw.
While a win would have been the goal, the draw has meant West Brom are predicted to avoid relegation now, but more is definitely needed.
