COMMENTARY
There were not too many performances for the West Brom supporters to celebrate on Tuesday night when Nottingham Forest visited the Hawthorns. It was a mostly lacklustre display full of errors and lacking in quality – but one man who can come away with some pride is young ace Rekeem Harper. The 18-year-old has established himself as a regular in the first team of late, his substitute appearance against Stoke ending a run of three successive starts, but he was reinstated to the starting XI and repaid Darren Moore’s faith with an exciting performance in a midfield three. As one fan said, he was significantly more impressive than 23-year-old Jacob Murphy – the man who netted the Baggies’ equaliser but did little else – and he looks set to have a bright future in the West Brom side. A bright spark on a disappointing evening from most of the West Brom players. His teammates could do with taking a leaf out of his book moving forward.

Harper, and Johansson are the only two who look like they might create a chance. Gayle has been so isolated. We really miss Barry, and Phillips in midfield.

Harper got so much potential

If Harper can drag Gayle, Rodriguez, Murphy, Livermore, Gibbs, Johanson, Dawson, Tosin and Holgate into the game with him we should smash these

From what I've viewed so far Harper is a billion times whatever Murphy is supposed to be.
