Few surprises in Albion's prompt cup exit last weekend, and no choice but to focus on the league campaign with the most important match of the month in the offing. On Saturday we travel down to West London for a meeting with Queens Park Rangers, one place and one point below us with a game in hand. Recent history is just about on our side - we've won four of our last five in the league against Rangers, including two in consecutive seasons at Loftus Road - but form is firmly with the Hoops, as is the ability to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

The hope remains that Daryl Dike will make an instant impact if or when we see him, provided he can recapture his Barnsley form, but he'll have his work cut out for him. The stakes are high, defeat will be a further nail in the promotion coffin, and Albion need a touch of magic from somewhere.
