Hodgson holds fire over player assessments

14 February 2011 16:00
Roy Hodgson has admitted he is not yet sure whether West Brom have the players to keep them in the Barclays Premier League. Hodgson was introduced as the head coach of the Baggies on Monday, replacing Roberto Di Matteo with the club only above the relegation zone on goal difference. The former Liverpool boss was in the stands at the weekend as West Brom threw away a 3-0 lead over West Ham to draw 3-3, and revealed he is still to be convinced of the quality of the club. "I'm afraid after 90 minutes working with them today (Monday) and 90 minutes watching them on Saturday, I can't answer that question," he said. "I would like to say so, but it would be foolish of me to make rash statements."
