Hugill confident of promotion after first goal
NORWICH City loanee Jordan Hugill may have only scored once in the win against Bristol City at the weekend but he could have had more in the back of the net.
Scoring his first goal for Albion will certainly do wonders for the forward as they head into a tough fixture to face Fulham at Craven Cottage next Saturday.
Hugill told the Post: “It’s absolutely brilliant to get that scoring feeling back.
“On a personal level, I should have had two or three more maybe.
“But it is what it is and I’m delighted the way we performed the way we did against Bristol
City.”
While the one thing missing since arriving at the club in the summer, to get him ‘off the mark’ may have been a goal, confidence will now be sky high for the 29-year-old.
“I think personally my performances have been there, apart from the Stoke game – I’ve changed games when I’ve needed to,” he continued.
“I think I need that goal to get off the mark, to feel comfortable and to just relax.
“But I am happy I scored one, I am happy I am off the mark and with my performances because I think they have warranted a goal.”
Hugill also left an encouraging message ahead of the club’s ambition to secure Premier League promotion, and emphasised the presence of ‘experienced players’ in the dressing room will certainly play a key part in that.
“Of course we can (achieve promotion), I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t believe that. We have got a lot of experienced players in the dressing room who have been promoted before.
“You need that experience. We have got a team of leaders and we have got good depth as well.”
