An unlikely promotion six-pointer awaits us this weekend in the last fixture before the September break, as Albion - whose 100% record subsided last week thanks in no small part to some Specsavers refereeing - travel to table-topping Stoke, still luxuriating in their maximum points return. And if ever there was an opportune time for the Potters to break their once-unthinkable six-game winless streak against us, it's here and now, as a late transfer flurry has permanently deprived us of Darnell Furlong, Tom Fellows and Caleb Taylor at the eleventh hour with no time for their incoming replacements to bed in.

It'll be a changed and possibly disjointed XI taking the field at the Britannia then, with Krystian Bielik liable to deputise at right-back, George Campbell reprising his role in central defence and Jed Wallace returning to the wing. Hope springs eternal, however, in Aune Heggebo's performances so far, with the Norwegian looking more capable of bullying defenders and holding the ball up than any striker we've had in years. I'd happily settle for another draw here, but if we manage more, expect the Bergen Bargain to be at the heart of it.

Interesting times, squad is evolving, Ryan banished to the stands, Clayheads unbeaten, Albion robbed by the officials of a maximum 9 points,
We have dominated stoke, results wise, recently ……

My prediction therefore is for a ….. no bleeding idea, anything could happen

Come on you baggies, do us proud.

Great write up Ska’d, you make my week with your wit and your insight. Let’s hope the Albion do the same.

Hope springs eternal, onwards and upwards, I actually have a confident belief that under Ryan and our owners we can make it back to the greed league and with a good transfer policy, stay there.

Albion til I die

Yeah, thanks again Ska'd....
..... my confident prediction is 0-0, with John Osborne scoring all the goals
