West Brom hit gold on Hawthorns ace who’s now worth more than a Centre forward
Although still reeling from a mass exodus of top players this summer, West Bromwich Albion comfortable opening day win in the Championship, overcoming Marti Cifuentes’ Queens Park Rangers on their own patch 3-1, was perhaps a tad surprising.
Josh Maja was the star of the show at Loftus Road, scoring a hat-trick after being gifted the starting spot up top by Carlos Corberan, and showed to the overjoyed West Brom masses in West London that losing Brandon Thomas-Asante doesn’t have to be the end of the world.
Away from Maja, Tom Fellows also shone brightly against the Hoops, as the West Brom youth product aims to reach even higher heights than he managed last campaign when he broke into the first team and never looked back.
Fellows’ time at West Brom
Fellows constantly terrorised the QPR defence last weekend to ensure West Brom comfortably picked up all three points ahead of their clash with Leeds yesterday.
It was Maja’s second of the day that was all the 21-year-old’s making, however, supplying the chance for his teammate to put away.
Moreover, the tenacious winger was brave and alert with five duels won in total, to give his side the energy they needed to push on to pick up the win.
His aim will just be to keep performing at this high level and strive to become an even more concrete part of Corberan’s first-team plans going forward, having had his breakout moment in the spotlight last campaign.
