After the sacking of manager Tony Pulis, Field was given his first start of the season by caretaker manager Gary Megson versus Tottenham in a 1–1 draw at Wembley Stadium on 25 November.[14] Field reprised his role three days later against Newcastle United, scoring his first Premier League goal in a 2–2 draw at the Hawthorns on 28 November.[15]
