Foster backing Baggies for Premier League 50

West Brom returned to winning ways with a comprehensive 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday, and Ben Foster believes his side are more than capable of hitting the 50-point mark this season.

The Baggies keeper had a rather quieter afternoon than his previous outing, with his side recovering well from last week’s 4-0 hammering at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur to register a third win in four league matches

And with an impressive 32 points from their 22 games, Tony Pulis’ charges are in the rare position of looking up, rather than down, the Premier League table.

It’s a position Foster is confident his side can make the most of, though he admits not even his top-flight experience can hint at how the rest of the campaign will go.

“You can never really tell how a season is going to go, so when you play certain teams is quite an important thing,” he said.

“Thankfully, Sunderland were a few players short, but you know that every player gives their all.

“Our aim is to stay in the top half, the quality of the team that we have deserves that and the fans also deserve that too.

“I’ve always said I want to get that 50 points. The gaffer always focuses on the 40 and rightly so, but I truly believe we are capable of more.”
