Can West Brom shake off their yo-yo tag and avoid an instant return to the Championship? 28 points from 27 games suggests they are on track to reach the magic mark of 40 but in reality their major slump since early December has set the alarm bells ringing.
Having just completed a run of games at home against the bottom 3, attention is now turned to try and muster some points from a series of mid table teams. Only time will tell if avoiding defeat to the 3 'W's' were vital results but now positive outcomes against the likes of Birmingham, Aston Villa, Everton and Sunderland are required before the final big penultimate away game showdown at Molineux.
Over the next 3 months 'Scrapplejack Reborn' will take a close look at West Brom's battle against the drop and see whether a less dramatic version of 2005's great escape will materialise. Starting at Stoke, this coming Monday and culminating at St. James' Park in mid May, a full reflection on the Baggies quest for stability will regularly appear on this blog.
