Isaac Price says he’s excited to experience The Den as an opposition player for the first time in his career on Saturday afternoon.
The Northern Ireland international, who joined the club in the winter transfer window from Belgian side Standard Liege, will be part of the Albion squad for this weekend’s Sky Bet Championship encounter with Millwall in the capital city (ko 3pm).
It will be Price’s maiden taste of an environment which is famous for being challenging for visiting teams, but the midfielder insists that’s part of football and says the Baggies will have to settle into the surroundings as quickly as possible.
Isaac said: “I’m looking forward to it. It’s one of those places that if you grow up in England, you know all about Millwall.
“It’s got a reputation and the fans make it difficult for opposition players. We know we’ll be getting stick, but that’s what football is about and it’s something you have to deal with.
“I can’t wait to go there and hopefully we can bag ourselves a win.
“We’re trying to work on finding ways to break teams down at the moment. We know a lot of the teams we play against will look to make things difficult for us.
“We have some very talented players in the final third area and we’ll need to find ways to break teams down, starting with Millwall on Saturday.
“The more chances we can create, the more chances we’ll get to score goals and win games. That’s what we’ll be looking to do at Millwall.”
The 21-year-old has started the last two games against Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers having made substitute appearances in battles with Portsmouth and Plymouth Argyle prior.
Price admits he now feels “part of the group” and says he wants to become a regular in the starting XI.
He added: “I’m really enjoying myself here, even though I’ve only been here for a few weeks.
“All the lads have been really good with me and I think I’ve settled in pretty well.
“I’ve been playing regularly and I really feel part of the group. I want to keep playing and keep getting better.
“We’ve had mixed results since I’ve been here and that shows what the Championship is all about. You can’t get too high when you’ve won a game and it’s important not to get too down if you’ve lost.
“We got a late winner against Sheffield Wednesday and everyone was really happy, but then Blackburn came and beat us on Wednesday night. You’ve got to be fully focused at all times because they came and scored two goals on the counter.
“We were the better team on the night but that doesn’t always mean you’ll win. You have to be clinical in the final third and that’s something we’ll work on.”
