It already seems half a lifetime since Bolton showed up at the Hawthorns on a sunny August day and began the season by giving us a bloody nose that seemed an ominous sign of things to come. Thankfully, things have improved since, and we have the chance to repay the favour on Monday night in Lancashire.
Last outing against Norwich was a heartening performance in difficult circumstances which nevertheless ended up feeling like two points dropped after the Canaries pinched a late equaliser. Still plenty of time left in the season, and time to shuffle the jigsaw - hopefully even to add a couple of new pieces - but for the time being, we could do with a win to give us a boost.
