Every season has its moments of truth, and for Albion, the major one comes this Saturday at three o'clock when Norwich visit the Hawthorns. It may not be the be-all and end-all of the promotion race - those with good memories will recall the home six-pointer against Nottingham Forest at the same time in 2010 which Albion lost in spectacular fashion, yet which proved the beginning of the end for Forest's own campaign - but defeat would put a serious dent in our hopes of automatic promotion.


The state of our injuries and suspensions list doesn't inspire confidence. However, Norwich are even worse than us for shipping goals, so in a straight end-to-end scoring fest, we can maybe hold out hope of coming out on top. A win would let us leapfrog the Canaries and blow the whole race wide open: we need to seize this chance with both hands.
