Ally Robertson: West Brom depth is so strong - I feel we can keep it going
What a start to the season it has been. To see us go top on Sunday was just brilliant.


The only thing I’m worried about is have we gone top too early?
The start we have had to the season has been absolutely brilliant. The results and the performances have been excellent.
With the squad we have, I hope we can keep it going.
Watching the game at Portsmouth the other day we all noticed again the tempo we are playing at. Moving forward at such speed, it looks different to last season. There seems to be fewer sideways and backwards passes.
The way I see the league is that we want to be in the top six at the very least.
It would be brilliant to finish in the top two and win automatic promotion, but sticking in the top six would be a great achievement too.
I feel confident in the squad this year. It’s been great to see how we’ve attacked, made chances and scored but we are defending properly and have kept clean sheets. That is always a key to positive results.
It was like where we had left off before the international break, with how we started the home game against Swansea – but we got the goal this time.
It’s brilliant Josh Maja scored again, I’m delighted he’s kept it going so far.
His debut season last year was so tough with injuries. So far we’ve seen him in the right place at the right time. His overall game, the way he brings people into play and how we have runners off him, is excellent. When the ball’s in the box he has one thing in his head, which is great and what you want from your striker.
As for the header that was millimetres from the line, I just couldn’t believe how close the goal-line technology was there, unbelievable!
Tom Fellows has shown brilliant consistency since coming into the side.
He works hard and does all the right things. He does not want to rest on his laurels now he has had a breakthrough. There was interest in him in the window but we have him on a long contract and hopefully we can keep him for years to come.
Alex Mowatt does not score many and then he gets two wonderful strikes in the second half. He was brilliant from midfield.
The squad depth for us is the key thing. The players on as substitutes are as good as those they are replacing. Our squad looks brilliant. Before, if somebody got injured you were left wondering who could come in.
I remember us having a bench full of youngsters last season. There has been some talk about how long Carlos Corberan will use the same starting line-up.
I reckon he will do so until there is a reason to change, like injuries or dropping points.
I struggle to see anything else but the same first XI at home to Plymouth on Saturday.
These players deserve to stay in and we want to keep them at this level, it’s about momentum. But the option we have to bring the other lads we have on is a great one. If we have injuries we are covered, before we did not have that.
