Interestingly (and perhaps worryingly), Steve Madeley on Twitter is pointing the finger at the summer recruitment: "Irvine isn't a fool.  He knows his side need an attacking spark.  If he thought Blanco, Samaras, Ideye etc could provide it, they'd play."  He's suggesting that the summer signings (with the exception of Lescott and Gardner, and Varela who's been injured) just haven't been doing enough in training and in the cup games to warrant inclusion.

If that's the case, then hello relegation battle.

This is why Dingle Downing and Kiely shouldn't be at the club, its time to let the new boss thing in his own people to freshen things up everything at the Albion has been stale for far to long it needs a fresh approach so the usual suspects aren't nailed on to start week in week out
