West Brom coach hails Ideye

MANAGER Tony Pulis was full of praises for the super substitute Brown Ideye as his superlative performance gave West Bromwich a deserved 2-2 draw at Burnley.
 
The embattled Nigerian striker has been struggling to find the back of the net since his £10m record signing move to the Baggies in the last summer.
 
He was only on target in a English Premier League game in his team's 1-3 loss to Manchester City at Etihad on December 26 before Sunday's all important goal which saw his team come from behind to pick a point.
 
"We've hoping Browny (Ideye) can keep scoring. We have Saido, Brownie and Victor -
they're our strikers, so we hope they can help us. Brownie hasn't played badly, he's just missed opportunities and with goalscorers - especially when you pay that much money - you expect to score, so hopefully that will help his confidence because he's a good lad." said Pulis on the club's website.
 
Ideye, who came on to replace Chris Baird in the 67th minute of the game produced a stunning header to deny the homers of victory after a two-goal lead after just over half an hour through Ashley Barnes and Danny Ings.
Chris Brunt had pulled a goal back for West Brom in first-half stoppage time with a header before Ideye secured the leveller also through a header.
 

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner while expressing joy at the result at Turf Moore through his twitter handle ideye Brown MON@officialideye said: "Difficult game today but thank God we came back strong, great job from all the lads. hard work continues, Great God".
 
The former Spartak Moscow forward in all has scored three goals for The Midlands with the League Cup strike in September last year as the first in his team's victory over Hull City.
