We have to keep our feet on the ground - Mepham

Mepham warns Albion must stay grounded despite fifth-place position and 14 points from six games.

West Bromwich Albion defender Chris Mepham has urged his side not to get carried away after an impressive start to the Championship season. The Baggies lie fifth, just a point behind leaders Birmingham, following Saturday's 3-0 win over Millwall at The Hawthorns.

Mepham, who was made vice-captain this season, told BBC Radio WM that while the team would have taken their current position at the start of the campaign, they must remain humble. "In this league you have to keep your feet on the ground, stay humble and stay grounded because it can change quick," he said.

The 29-year-old Wales international praised manager James Morrison and the coaching staff for providing clarity, and highlighted midfielder Isaac Price's standout performances with six goals and three assists already this season.
