IT WAS A HAPPY second anniversary for Huddersfield boss David Wagner as they piled on the misery for the Baggies.
Dutchman Rajiv van la Parra curled in a superb strike from just outside the area a minute before half-time to split the teams.
It had been an awful first half before his intervention to set the John Smith’s Stadium jumping.
Not quite to the extent they did last time the fans enjoyed a day out here.
Then they beat Manchester United on one of the biggest days in their recent history.
But the same three points were available yesterday against struggling West Brom and just as valuable in their bid to stay in this Premier League. Right now they are looking like doing just that under the incredible stewardship of Wagner.
He took over two years ago today with the club languishing in 18th place in the Championship.
Nobody could have dreamed of the journey Wagner would take them on.
The one Tony Pulis is taking West Brom on right now is very different.
That is two wins in 20 Premier League games going back to last season. Those two wins came with their opening two fixtures at the start of this season but since then it has been downhill all theway with four draws and five defeats.
Even after the home team went down to ten after 57 minutes with Christopher Schindler’s second yellow card yesterday they could not break Town down.
Indeed it barely made a difference West Brom were so poor.
But in injury time Huddersfield goalie Jonas Lossl had to make two stunning saves from a James mcclean header and Matt Phillips shot.
Pulis job is under pressure and the travelling fans made their displeasure known.
