'Guidance': Ex-West Brom man identifies why new Albion coaching staff can take Tom Fellows to next level

Fellows goes into the summer on the back of an exciting campaign that saw him finish top of the Championship assist charts.

He will now link up with new Albion boss Ryan Mason, who has brought in Nigel Gibbs alongside him as his new assistant manager.

And ex-Baggies defender Paul Robinson believes Mason's experiences of working with young players and Gibbs' credentials as a coach, could be just the tonic for the England under 21 international to go to the next level.

He said: "Tom Fellows is such an exciting player with great potential, he probably just needs a bit of guidance and with Ryan and Gibbo (Nigel Gibbs), he will get that time and extra training to really kick on."

Robinson, who left Watford back in the summer after a spell as a coach, also believes that Mason is inheriting a good core of players ahead of his first campaign as a number one.

He singled out a number of players for praise, and insisted that Albion already have an exciting side before reinforcements are brought in across the summer.

He said: "Heggem is another who has really impressed me, he has been an outstanding buy and deservedly won player of the season.

"He stands out with how he defended but also his control on the ball as well.

"Styles is another I really like. He took a while to get into the team but he is an intelligent player, as is Isaac Price who came in back in January.

"I've watched him a few times and I'm not sure where is best position is.

"He has played on the right wing, then up front against Bristol City and as a midfielder.

"There is more to come from him, it is about nailing down his best position.

"Albion have got an exciting team, if they can get a few experienced players in there, who know the Championship and the longevity of it then hopefully they will be in for a good season."
