West Bromwich Albion fans have vocalised their appreciation for Hal Robson-Kanu after the striker grabbed another goal for the club in Monday night’s 2-0 victory over managerless Stoke City.
The Welshman replaced Charlie Austin on 63 minutes and six minutes later netted a penalty for the Baggies after Cameron Carter-Vickers brought down Grady Diangana.
It was the 30-year-old’s second goal in as many games for Albion and many fans on Twitter are calling for him to start instead of Austin in future games.

What do we think?
Yes, it was only a penalty, but you still have to convert them. That’s two goals in two games for Robson-Kanu and he’ll be hoping that will be enough to send him into Slaven Bilic’s starting XI for Saturday’s trip to Hull City.
And it’s a very important year for the Welshman. He needs to seize this momentum and continue to find the net to make it difficult for his manager not to select him. Past evidence would suggest otherwise, but Charlie Austin’s form in front of goal has been woeful so this may just be his moment for a run in the side.
