Miller target tens wins

Ishmael Miller has told his team-mates they'll need to win at least ten of their remaining 13 games to secure automatic promotion. Albion are currently seven points behind leaders Stoke with two games in hand on the Potters and six points adrift of second place Bristol City, also with a game in hand.


The January signing was part of the Baggies team who suffered last Saturday's disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Hull to continue their poor run of form. However the former Manchester City forward is sure the Baggies have still got what it takes to achieve automatic promotion.


"We've had a little blip," Miller said.

"But I'd prefer to have a blip now with 13 games left than have a blip with two or three games left.

"We know what we've got to do and if we win ten games that should get us promoted.

"We're capable of doing that with the players we've got.

"If we win ten games I think we will win promotion.

"If it only takes 80 points then so-be-it.

"I just want to win as many games as we can.

"We've got the squad and players to do it and hopefully, with a bit of luck, the chances we're getting won't hit the woodwork or get disallowed and we won't let any silly goals in.

"We've dropped points by losing to Preston, Barnsley and Hull recently.

"Hopefully we can start picking up points now.

"We need to be on top form for the last part of the season."
