Road to Wembley - Boing Boing Baggies

Our Gashead boys finally succumbed on Sunday after a fine attacking dsiplay from West Brom put pay to Bristol Rovers 5-1. Ishmael Miller's hat-trick helped West Brom become our new Road to Wembley team and book their place in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley to Portsmouth.

JAMES MORRISON put the Baggies ahead after Steve Phillips could only parry Roman Bednar's toe-poke and then ISHMAEL MILLER made it 2-0 with a fierce finish.

DANNY COLES met Craig Disley's flick to reduce the deficit and give the Pirates a real chance at half-time. However Craig Hinton's error let MILLER in to make it 3-1.

Robert Koren set up goal machine KEVIN PHILLIPS to add a fourth and MILLER'S precise finish completed the rout.

Bristol Rovers: Phillips, Lescott, Hinton, Coles, Jacobson, Pipe (Walker 72), Campbell, Disley, Lines (Haldane 55), Lambert, Williams (Igoe 81).
Subs Not Used: Mike Green, Anthony.
Att: 12,011
