Long driven by fear

Republic of Ireland international Shane Long says he is being driven on by the fear factor at West Brom.

Long has scored seven goals for Albion this season and hopes to add to that tally at Swansea tonight. But despite his good form, Long refuses to take his place in the side for granted and it is the fear of being dropped that is ensuring his game is at the top level.

“I need to make sure that I am right for every game — on and off the pitch,” said Long.
