West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine has urged fans to be patient after defeat to Everton.
Irvine asked for time as he tries to mould together a squad which has 11 new faces. Georgios Samaras and Sebastian Blanco came on for their debuts but Joleon Lescott is yet to play because of injury.
"You can't throw a team together overnight," he said. "But I understand that you can't lose games too often, and that if you do, then it becomes extremely difficult.
"I'll keep working to get the lads gelled into the best team we can be as quickly as possible."
