Having got the better of Albion on Teesside in the autumn, this Saturday sees Tony Pulis making his first return to the Hawthorns with Middlesbrough, in the first of a series of real crunch matches for the Baggies.
If automatic promotion is still our objective, then it goes without saying that this month is make-or-break time. Every win will be precious, and every defeat costly; but with the standard Pulis curse on Albion, a draw would by no means be the end of the world this week.
