After a dismal defeat against Pulis's Middlesbrough (in a twist which surprised no one who's seen Albion turn out against a Pulis side at any time in the last fifteen years), things get no easier for the Baggies with the visit of the Albion Rejects XI this Saturday, just finding some form at the worst possible time.

With both Berahino and McClean finding the net, the chances of insult being piled onto injury look depressingly high. We've failed to secure a midfield dynamo to stamp his authority on the middle of the park, and our passing game just isn't good enough to deal with teams who press high and get in our faces. The only consolation is that our forward line can still do damage when they get the ball; here's hoping they see plenty of it on Saturday.
