Boss - Menseguez a super-sub
Tony Mowbray has revealed that he sees Juan Carlos Menseguez as an impact player rather than a regular starter for West Brom as they battle to avoid the drop.[LNB] The 25-year-old loan signing made his debut as a late substitute in the 2-0 Premier League defeat by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.[LNB]While pleased the right winger got some game-time, Mowbray sees his role as an impact player from the bench in future weeks, particularly away from home.[LNB]The Baggies boss said: "To get him on the pitch was good. Whether he's ready physically to make the impact, we will see if he gets the opportunity.[LNB]Current plight"Injuries, and the way the game is going, will determine whether he gets game-time but I don't see him, in our current plight, starting every week for us.[LNB]"He's here to make an impact and if he can then fine - but let's wait and see.[LNB]"People may not know what to expect but when you set a team up I would suggest I can only see him being someone who can make an impact off the bench.[LNB]"I think he is more than capable of giving us pieces of magic by going past people with clever footwork.[LNB]"But is he the type of player who, when we go away from home, can be resolute and resilient? It may be difficult to find a place in the team for him."[LNB]Teixeira newsMeanwhile, Portuguese midfielder Filipe Teixeira wants to play with a fractured toe in Saturday's league clash with Everton at Goodison Park.[LNB]The player suffered the fracture in the defeat at Fulham but wants to play through the pain barrier and remain part of Mowbray's plans.[LNB]Mowbray added: "We will wait and see if he trains. He's got a fractured toe and sometimes you don't know how they will go. It's not like he's got a sore thigh.[LNB]"He's broken a toe but he's still anxious to be involved. That will basically depend on how much pain he has and whether he can get his boot on."[LNB]
