Everything’s still in our hands – Slav
BOSS Slaven Bilic insisted West Brom still hold the promotion advantage despite dropping points against Fulham.
The Baggies remain second in the Sky Bet Championship following a nervy 0-0 draw at The Hawthorns.
Albion have only a narrow lead over third placed form side Brentford, but Bilic remained confident despite the draw.
“Everything is in our hands,” he said, with Albion two points behind Leeds having played a game more.
“We started the restart a bit slower, were a bit unlucky in first couple of games but after that, in last five games, we are creating and dominating.
“We are in good form, playing good football. That’s where I have my optimism and belief.
“I’m very proud with the way we played. We defended well and in the second half we kept the shape and composure and created more than enough chances.
“We just couldn’t score but the composure, mentality, passion and quality made me really proud. It would be better if we had won the game of course but it’s one game less to go and it’s in our hands.”
The fourth placed Cottagers, in a massive blow to their own automatic promotion hopes, are five points behind West Brom with two games left. Boss Scott Parker said: “It’ll be difficult. We need to be focused, we’re five unbeaten and it’s a fourth clean sheet, we need to stay focused.”
