Presumably why Rusk has been promoted which I guess we will be officially informed of some time before the season's end?

I really enjoyed the game last night, the pace was non stop and often end to end, West Brom were that big solid side you expect from a premiership outfit, but I thought Rea, Hunt, Chickson and Dallison, kept them fairly quiet bar about 15 minutes at the start of the second when West Brom appeared to pick up the pace against our younger players, and we had to make some professional fouls to stay in it. Both sides had limited clear cut chances and Monakana had a great chance first half that he just put wide and Harris hit the crossbar from a free kick.

I thought our keeper Harry Doherty looked great and made two fantastic saves. Fenelon looked strong against an organised defence and George Cole looked very lively and with some mazy runs after he came on. 0-0 a fair result with both sides threatening at times to nick the game. Good game against a side pushing for promotion. We appear to be getting to grips with a very tough league, against seasoned U21 outfits.

Five away games now before tough home games against Newcastle, Bolton and Stoke.

I just looked it up for some reason:

We've only ever won once in a proper match at the Hawthorns and we have not played them for over 20 years (unless I have missed a Cup match?)

If that's correct, the last time we played them was the day that the Grand National was voided by all the horses racing following a false start.
