Reid targets win for survival

Steven Reid believes one more win will guarantee West Bromwich Albion's safety in the Barclays Premier League.

Albion suffered their first defeat under new manager Roy Hodgson on Saturday when they lost 3-1 to Chelsea at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies had previously taken 12 points from a possible 18 since Hodgson arrived to lift themselves clear of the relegation zone.
But the setback at the weekend still leaves all at the club looking at the gap to the bottom three which has closed to six points.

Reid, who has enjoyed a run of starts courtesy of Hodgson, said: "We know it's not job done yet. We still need an extra few points.
"We don't really know what the target is, but I think one more win, 42 points or around that, should be enough.
"It's easy to say a number, but you just never know because it's easy to go on a bad run.
"Just look at Sunderland who are on a difficult run at the moment, so the sooner we can pick up three more points the better. I'm still confident we will be fine."
