The last couple of matches have certainly been food for thought, to the extent that thinking is possible while nodding off. The fast-paced excitement of the season's early weeks has diminished by degrees, and while Albion are still capable of mounting quick attacks here and there, too often we're guilty of getting bogged down in midfield, sending passes astray, and ultimately inviting the opposition to gather momentum of their own.
The good news is that while Bournemouth extend their lead at the top of the table there's much of a muchness to the chasing pack at the moment, and Albion are therefore still well in the promotion race. But on paper, three points against Bristol City this Saturday is a must if we're to keep the pace up during a difficult phase of the campaign.
They Played For Both
Solve the anagrams to find former Albion men who've also turned out for Bristol City:
1. AW, ILL LYRICISM
2. BRITS CHURN
3. BY TOOLBAR
4. GOOD BUBBLY
As we're a bit light on names there, solve *these* anagrams to find players who've scored at least two Baggies goals versus Bristol City:
5. BRA PRETENSE
6. LIBRARIAN SWOT
7. NB: MOTOWN ROBBERY
8. VICAR'S ODDS
9. HUGE HEELS
10. BROKEN RETRO
11. WIGGLY DEATH
12. ZERO DAIRY JUG
13. BALKANS HONOUR
14. MICK'S MOON JOY
15. SOWETO DYLAN
And as I'm super-organised this week, an extra crop of players who did play for both clubs:
16. ORCHID SOW
17. SAD BATHROOM
18. ACHIEVE THE WILD
19. UNADVISED BIRD
20. BUN LOTTERY
21. HEROINE JUMPS RACCOON
22. NOMIC SOX
23. SYNCH YORKIE
24. RUCKLE CHURCHYARDS
25. SOBER TROJANS
26. INKY CIDER
27. JINN MASQUE
28. UPON ZONAL TOOL
29. GEEZERS REBORN WEEING
30. TRUANT ROYALS
31. DOUR NAPALM
32. MILKMEN CLOY

4 the one and only Bobby Gould
2, It's Brunty
8 David Cross - he was unlucky; as I recall, he was doing well for us, got injured, replaced by some bloke called Regis...and that was that
3 Bart Looby - not many know about him but he was a tricky winger...slippery!

All correct except for Bart Looby, who sadly died in a freak flower-arranging accident before making a senior appearance.

I have to confess that in a moment of supreme absent-mindedness, for number 11 I anagrammed a cricketer with the same surname as the former Albion player. The correct anagram is now up.
