The timing's right for Super-Kev

Former England international Kevin Phillips insists Albion are hitting form at the right time of the season after last night's vital victory at Molineux. The Championship's leading marksman came with a post's width of opening the scoring for the Baggies before setting up Zoltan Gera's goal in the 59th minute.


However with just three games remaining Phillips believes it's all in Albion's hands now as they aim for automatic promotion back to the Premiership.

"Everything was here tonight - pride and passion," Super-Kev said.

"We knew if we won tonight we'd have an excellent chance of going up.

"It's a very happy dressing room tonight.

"I liked the wet conditions - tackles were flying in and the atmosphere was excellent.

"We showed extreme resilience.

"They piled on a lot of pressure but I think on chances created we deserved to win the game.

"We managed to get that crucial goal that we couldn't get on Saturday when we dominated the game against Watford.

"It was a massive win for us.

"It's been one of those seasons where it looks as if no-one wants to win the league.

"But I think we've come good at the right time.

"When you're top of the league, everyone wants to beat you.

"We've got three games left now - and three tough games - but ones we can win."
