WBA vs Derby & Blackburn - Wed 8th July 5pm & Sat 11th July 3pm - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 07-07-2020

The good news is that with seven goals in two games and a brace of pretty convincing wins under the belt, there's life in the Albion yet. The bad news is that with the teams all around matching us point for point, there's life in the promotion race too, making this week just as important - maybe even more important - than last week. First up tomorrow evening we play host to Derby, who currently stand three points off the playoff places and have everything to play for. We're without a win against the Rams for over a decade now, their last visit was an abysmal 4-1 defeat for Albion in autumn 2018, and they've been a form team in the division since Wayne Rooney arrived at the beginning of the year, so this is a crucial test of our Premier League credentials in every way. Stumble, and Brentford are only one win away from toppling us.
Ewood Park is the next destination, and it's no less daunting, as our last victory there was the last-gasp 2-1 win under Roy Hodgson in December 2011. Mid-table safety might have relaxed them a bit, as they've now suffered three defeats on the trot, but again, we'll need to be sharp to get the points. Get your prayer mats out.
