This man is flying at the minute! After Callum Robinson moved to Sheffield United in the summer, we had high hopes that he would thrive in the Premier League.
Things didn't really work out that way. He had a promising start, but seemed to fall out of favour somewhat in recent weeks. Lys Mousset moved above the Irishman in the pecking order, while Billy Sharp was also played ahead of him in the last few weeks.
While Chris Wilder still sees a future for Robinson at the club, he acknowledged that more first team football would be beneficial for his career at this stage. A loan move to West Brom would allow him to play a lot of minutes for a team in the heat of an automatic promotion push.
He has started like a house on fire. West Brom are big fans of the player, having tried to sign him last summer.
The Ireland international has slotted straight into the team on the left wing. There he has put in a number of strong performances, scoring his first goal for the club this afternoon.
Nottingham Forest were the visitors to The Hawthorns, with Robinson scoring a cracker in the opening period. He picked up the ball at the edge of the box before showing great technique to curl the ball into the top corner.
GOAL FOR WEST BROM!
The baggies lead through a cool finish from Callum Robinson.

With James McClean looking likely to miss the Euro 2020 play-off against Slovakia, Robinson now looks most likely to start on the left wing.
If he can carry this form onto the international stage, it will be a big boost to our chances of making the tournament.
