STEVE SIDWELL hopes he has given his manager a headache by helping Albion to a good point.
The on-loan midfielder was particularly impressive in the first half of the 0-0 draw at Hull City on the first start of his second stint with the club.
He now hopes to play a part in away games at Cardiff on Saturday and Bristol City next Tuesday.
He said: “I came here to play minutes and I’ve had to sit on the bench in the first couple of games.
“The lads have done fantastic and you’ve just got to hold your hands up to them and wait your turn.
“The manager now has got a big squad at his disposal and he can tinker formations and put different players in.
“It gives him another headache for the games coming up.”
Sidwell was delighted to help in a clean sheet and reasonably happy with a point.
He added: “We had a gameplan to come and win the game first and foremost and, second of all, not to lose it.
“We have come away with a point and that could be a vital point come the end of the season.
“It’s a good point against a side who will definitely be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.”
Elsewhere last night, Blackburn won 3-0 at home to Fulham.
