Di Matteo has faith in Dorrans

West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo has backed midfielder Graham Dorrans to recapture the outstanding form of last season. Albion had to stave off interest from several Barclays Premier League clubs in the summer for Dorrans, including firm bids from West Ham. Dorrans eventually pledged his future to the Baggies by signing a new long-term contract. Di Matteo said: "Graham is a very important player for us and we have a lot of faith in him. We are waiting for him to hit the form that he was in last season. "We know his ability. We saw last season how good he was. We see it every day in training. We just need to be patient with him and give him the time to reach that form - and he will. There is no doubt about it and he did well against Birmingham."
