ISHMAEL Miller has rallied behind Luke Moore by declaring: "We're all in this together."
Miller was 'disgusted' by the booing his team-mate was subjected to by a small section of supporters when he entered the fray as a 72nd-minute replacement for him in Saturday's 3-2 win over Preston.
That was instantly drowned out by a wall of noise in support of Moore, whose name continued to be sung for the remainder of the game.
And Miller was quick to highlight the part the ex-Villa hitman has played by contributing to 16 of the second-placed Baggies' 22 league wins this term ahead of tonight's home clash with Coventry (ko 7.45pm).
"Hopefully, we won't hear that again," said Miller.
"To be honest - and I know it was only a minority - I thought it was disgusting.
"He's one of my team-mates, a friend.
"You don't like to see those kind of things anywhere in the game - especially to a player for your team.
"It doesn't matter who he is, he's been giving his all for the cause.
"He's played a lot of games for us this season when I've not been there or Roman hasn't been there.
"He's contributed to our season.
"We're not where we are because of one or two people - it's because of everyone.
"We've got a great bond here.
"Everyone has played their part.
"Certain players have set up goals, scored goals and stopped them at the other end.
"But it's about the whole squad, not just two or three players.
"That's the truth of it."
When asked how the incident had affected Moore, Miller added: "I see Luke in training every day.
"I know what he's capable of, what he can do.
"Everyone is different as a person or player.
"The system we play may suit me or Roman more rather than Luke or Coxy.
"I'm laid back, just like Luke is.
"Everyone is different and people can have a perception - but you don't do that to people who play for your football club.
"I hope he will prove them wrong.
"He has nothing to prove to us. We know what he's capable of.
"Luke's been fine - no-one's even mentioned it.
"It was only a minority, luckily, so he's okay.
"You have to dismiss those things and there's no point talking about it.
"We just want to go out and get three points."
