Darren Fletcher: Strikers can fire us to safety
Captain Darren Fletcher backed hotshots Saido Berahino and Brown Ideye to fire Albion to safety after the pair secured a priceless win against Swansea.
Ideye netted his second goal in as many games and Berahino bagged his 15th of the season as the Baggies defeated the Swans 2-0 to climb to 14th in the table.
And Fletcher, who marked his home debut with a win, said: "You need to score goals to win matches and that mainly comes down to strikers, although you want goals from all over the pitch.
"If we can get the service into them I'm sure they are going to take their chances. It's important in any team your strikers score goals.
"They were both fantastic last night. Their workrate and desire, and then then their quality was there and the second goal was perfect strike partnership goal.
"They worked extremely hard, Saido had a really tough shift. He had to drop into midfield as well and then had to get forward but he did it, never moaned, got on with it and got his rewards with the goal which his performance deserved.
"I thought we thoroughly deserved the win. You expect Swansea to have possession but we were the team who looked like scoring and worked extremely hard.
"Everything the manager prepared us for worked out. It doesn't always work that way but tonight it worked and we capitalised on that."
