Rams ace Tom shocks Baggies

typifies the effect he has had more than the transformation of Ince, who at 24 is finally showing he can deliver on the potential for which he’s always been known.

Ince won the free-kick from which he got the winner, driving at pace from halfway and forcing Brendan Galloway to bring him down.

And then he curled the ball past a static Boaz Myhill at the near post for his eighth goal in 15 games since McClaren took over. “I don’t Possession Shots On Target Shots Off Target Blocked Shots Corners Fouls Conceded Offsides Yellow Cards Red Cards know why he’s improved so much,” admitted McClaren.

“I don’t tell him anything we don’t tell the other players.

“He should be a Premier League player, he’s had opportunities, but you’ve seen the fight today that he wants to get back there.”

It was a tough result on Baggies manager Tony Pulis, who picked a strong side.

Ironically, the only senior player he rested was goalkeeper Ben Foster – and that looked like it was 55% 45% 5 4 14 1 4 1 15 2 10 7 0 1 1 2 0 0 the change that came back to bite him. Myhill moved slowly for Bent’s 25-yard equaliser – and never moved at all for Ince’s winner.

“I’ve not seen them from behind the goal, so I don’t really know. I’m more worried about the build-up,” said Pulis.

“Boaz had done fantastically for us whenever he has played. I can’t criticise the team because we showed fantastic attitude with 30 shots and 60 crosses. You can’t ask for a lot more.”

Sadly for Albion the only chance they converted was when Phillips finished calmly after 35 minutes, picking up a loose ball after James McClean charged down Richard Keogh’s attempted clearance. WEST BROM: DERBY COUNTY: MAN OF THE MATCH: REFEREE:
