Having been given the green light from their parent clubs about retaining their services for Albion’s promotion run-in, the next job for Dowling was to ascertain whether the players themselves were content to remain at The Hawthorns.
The emphatic response bodes well for the players' commitment to the collective cause.
“All the clubs we’ve spoken to have cleared them to play but of course you can’t do that without establishing whether the lads themselves are happy to stay on,” Dowling explained.
“They have got their careers to think about, don’t forget. What was brilliant was the reaction I got when I spoke to them about it. I was asking them if they were happy to stay and they looked at me completely ‘gone out’ – as if I was mad!
“To a man they responded: “Are you crazy? Of course we want to stay.”
Dowling couldn’t speak highly enough of those players for their contributions in getting Albion to favourable position they now find themselves in ahead of the restart.
For Pereira, one more appearance lies between him and the triggering of a permanent move to The Hawthorns. Depending on the division Albion find themselves in next term, similar moves for Robinson and Krovinovic aren’t out of the question.
West Ham loanee Diangana may be a little trickier, because of the Irons’ long-term plans to integrate him into their own first team.
The latter being back and available for selection after a lengthy injury layoff is terrific news indeed for Slaven Bilic, however.
“I’ve got to say that all the loan players have really brought into the club this season and been an absolute delight to have in the club. They all love it here which is great for us,” Dowling continued.
“They want to see it through, and if there is one ‘upside’ to this halt to the season it is that we have now got Grady (Diangana) back and available again which wasn’t the case before the stop.
“In the other direction, we’re talking to Charlton about Sam Field returning to feature for them now Sam has recovered from injury. It would be a great opportunity for him to get some invaluable experience in a demanding situation.”

The episode saw the celebs being shown a heartbreaking clip from the BBC 's Ambulance programme , where a man suffered a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to resuscitate him .
Thankfully the boy 's CPR worked and his dad survived .
At the time of filming Eamonn had made emotional comments about his own father , who had previously died of a heart attack .

Manchester United are prioritising a move for Jack Grealish over Leicester City counterpart James Maddison this summer - because the Red Devils believe they ’ ll be able to recruit Grealish for a lesser fee , especially if Aston Villa drop back into the Championship .

Manchester United are prioritising a move for Jack Grealish over Leicester City counterpart James Maddison this summer - because the Red Devils believe they’ll be able to recruit Grealish for a lesser fee, especially if Aston Villa drop back into the Championship.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made signing an attack minded, creative midfielder his transfer priority once the remaining Premier League matches are played out.
United spent big to bring Bruno Fernandes to the club in Janury, but they’re looking to make another significant addition to the midfield department as they bid to close the gap that has widened between themselves and rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

Grealish, who upon his return to the top flight as skipper of boyhood club Villa has excelled, has found the net nine times and created eight assists in all competitions this term ahead of the club’s run-in - and their battle for survival against relegation.
Should Villa fail to avoid the drop, then the Manchester Evening News claim that United will make Grealish their top target - ahead of fellow playmaker and England hopeful Maddison.
Under Brendan Rodgers, Maddison has helped Leicester into the top four - indeed, above United themselves - and they’re eyeing Champions League football at the King Power Stadium for the second season in five years.
Extracting Maddison from his settled surroundings from the East Midlands, then, would appear to be very difficult.
For Grealish, of course, his surroundings are equally as settled - perhaps even more so. He did, however, admit recently that he might not have still been at the club last summer had Villa not ventured into the play-offs on the back of that 10-match winning streak and carried themselves into the top flight on the back of it.
“Last season was a bit surreal if I’m honest, when I look back at it. When I came back [from injury] we were something like 13th, and we ended up going on a ten-game winning streak and ended up getting promoted,” he admitted.
“That was obviously a massive achievement. If I’m honest, I don’t know if I’d have still been at the club if we’d not been promoted.
“This [survival] would definitely be up there though. We’re 19th at the moment, but it’s all in our hands - that’s what I’ve been saying to everyone in the changing room.
“We’ve got a game in hand - if we win that game in hand, then we’re out of the bottom three.”
