With four points on the board and a berth in the next round of the League Cup, things aren't looking quite so bad on Planet Albion this week, and though concerns remain over the shortcomings of the team, there is at least a sense that we can compete in the Championship this season.

Greater fears linger over Saturday's visitors QPR, who are more or less a walking advert for the fate that befalls Premier League teams unable to bounce back. Fined £17m for breaking divisional spending limits and in a state of boardroom transition, the Hoops currently sit 23rd in the table without a point to their name. Obviously all that can change in ninety minutes though, and Albion need to be switched on this Saturday. There's a possibility Oli Burke might play a part after his winner on Tuesday, but otherwise there's not much need to tinker with the side victorious at Carrow Road last weekend.
