Semi Ajayi is confident Albion have the required attributes to return to winning ways when Sky Bet Championship promotion rivals Leeds United arrive at The Hawthorns on New Year’s Day (ko 5.15pm).
The Baggies fell to just their second league defeat of the season against Middlesbrough on Sunday which halted a 14-game unbeaten run for Slaven Biliu0107’s men.
And Semi, who is ever-present for Albion this season, says the first game of 2020 is the perfect opportunity to get back on track.
“We’re bitterly disappointed with the Middlesbrough result, it’s not what we set out to do,” he admitted.
