A point from a dramatic comeback against Huddersfield Town finally brings up the half century of points for the Baggies, a tally they reached after just 23 games in their previous Championship season.
I suggested in my match preview that Albion could probably only afford to drop seven points from their remaining eleven games if they were to secure a play-off spot and two of those went this evening. We have the apparently unstoppable machine that is Fulham up next so it’s going to be some run-in if Steve Bruce’s team are to pull off that particular miracle.
However, Gary Megson’s 2002 team earned 26 points from their last ten games of the season – that would be enough. It really is the hope that kills you!
