Can Odemwingie recover like Tevez?

Peter Odemwingie travelled with the West Brom side for a huge building block in their recovery from a mini slump of five defeats in six prior to their victory at Liverpool last night.

He was though no closer to starting and you have to wonder if he is able to force his way back into Steve Clarke’s plans.

The touch and patience of Shane Long is something that Odemwingie could have taken note of, whilst the strength and guile of Lukaku are aspects of his game few can match.

Despite this you suspect the Nigerian will get his chance to show why he was once a firm fans favourite once again.

It may be advisable to let his actions on the pitch do the talking. After all he is a player who has competed at Champions League level and has finishing and pace that several clubs in the League higher than QPR could admire.

West Brom are on the cusp of one of their greatest seasons in a long time and if he knuckles down and commits to the cause he will definitely benefit. Even if the rewards is a summer move elsewhere.

There were several who said he should have moved to QPR to work under Redknapp and start every week.

Jeremy Peace saw no reason to give into the pressure of West London’s wheeler dealer and you can see why. He was leaving for a big pay packet and nothing else. QPR are streets away from the Baggies at the moment. One thing that may be worth considering too is West Brom took him away from a Russian nightmare prior to signing the diminutive forward, so he may be careful to bite the hand that still feeds him.
