West Brom continued their promotion push with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday with first half goals from Hal Robson-Kanu and Jay Rodriguez enough to secure the Baggies all three points. Given just four minutes, Stefan Johansen hardly had time to make his impact on the game, but he can finally make his mark against QPR next time out.

On the chalkboard

The Norwegian signed for the Midlands outfit in January having failed to hold down a starting spot with Fulham, despite being a key player in the Cottagers' promotion last season, and has yet to really kick on in his new surroundings either.

Largely playing as box-to-box midfield player, the 28-year-old chalked up eight goals and as many assists for the Craven Cottage outfit but a big spending spree in the summer as Slavisa Jokanovic and co looked to maximise their chances of retaining Premier League status beyond the 18/19 season saw the likes of Jean-Michel Seri revamp the midfield.

A loan move to the Championship seemed the ideal move for the versatile midfielder, who was surely intended to add some much-needed creation to Darren Moore's side. He has, however, looked average at best so far. Perhaps he can ignite his West Brom career on Tuesday night when they square off with QPR?

Better away from home

Of the 46-cap international's eight goals for Fulham last campaign, five came away from home where the pressure of a home crowd is alleviated and so the trip to Loftus Road represents a fantastic opportunity for Johansen to show Moore and the fans what he is capable of.

There is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in stripes and could prove to be a key player for the Baggies as we enter the final stretch of the Championship season, although he must get off the mark soon if he is to earn Premier League promotion for the second consecutive year.
