The verdict

This is exactly the sort of message that West Brom fans will be wanting to hear and expecting to see from their players ahead of next season’s return to the Championship. The likes of Phillips and Robinson were unable to keep the club in the top-flight this term and there will be a sense that they now need to rectify that by securing a swift promotion.

Phillips managed to score seven goals and provide six assists in the 2019/20 promotion-winning campaign, but he struggled to replicate that sort of output in the top-flight. He will now be needing to get back to his best form and if he can do that then he will be a real threat for the Baggies next term.

For Robinson, meanwhile, next season is vitally important because he has shown glimpses of his quality for West Brom so far but has not been able to show enough consistency. The 26-year-old should be mature enough now as a player to really enjoy a promising campaign in front of goal and if he gets the right levels of service can be a player that could fire them to promotion.
