    I remember Slaven Bilic, during his brief tenure at Toronto F.C., when he would stalk the touch-line and explode in frustration at his hapless (then) team. He had little to work with at that time and one can see similarities , now, at the Hawthorns with his current team.

    The good news is that we have not lost in the league so far this season. But the ominous news is that our leader is about to lose it, if management do not back him up with further acquisitions.

    By now he is probably well aware of the deficiencies : our strike force is anemic and we need a lynch-pin to coordinate midfield and play in front of a defense that itself needs strengthening, because its only a matter of time before Bartley costs us dearly.

    Ten games will IMHO be the tipping point. I just hope that someone is aware that the current squad is walking on thin ice and needs a boost. We are not Bolton, yet. But you can see what happens under listless ownership.

    The key game is Fulham away. We need to get something from that game to prove we can compete with perhaps the best in this league.
    I think you are being a bit pessimistic, Derwent. Bartley. by all accounts, is playing well and reliably – having been relieved of the burden of having to play like Beckenbauer he is doing a stopper’s job. In any case we have Hegazi to come back. And now our strike force is anaemic yet when Austin signed we were all cock-a-hoop.
