Last season the Albion were poor.Now that is do able.....
They were poor under the first manager, and didn't improve under Hughton.
You could even make a decent case for being worse.
They scored less than a goal a game, made considerably worse when taking into account seven goals came in 2 games.
So far this window the club as bought in defenders to strengthen one of the strongest defences in the division, and a comparatively cheap forward from Spain.
What possible reason can you have for not thinking that team won't finish 2 (just two) places lower than last season.
The only think in the clubs favour is the fact it's in the Championship.
Which completely nullifies the original point.
