The post Bryan Robson era begins Tuesday with our Cup match against Cheltenham. Nigel Pearson will be our caretaker manager until a new one is hired. What will we see from Albion during this period of limbo? I can't imagine Pearson doing too much differently. I'll be keen to see how our players respond tomorrow through their performance.
We should win, though I can't see Chuckles setting the team out any different from that previous fool. Come on you Baggies!

West Bromwich Albion 3 Cheltenham Town 1 An ugly win, but still a win. Cheltenham looked in the first half like they would win, and it was they who struck first in this match. But we were able to come away with the win thanks to a Wallwork goal and two penalties finished cleanly by Nathan Ellington and Stuart Nicholson. On to Round 3, and quite possibly a match with a Premiership side. We may even have a manager by then!
