Albion blog: Transfer hush

First of all I would like to thank everyone who left messages of support on Friday's blog, Honour Bomber,

.

I have emailed the article and all of your responses to Tom Ross BRMB, Paul Franks WM, Adrian Chiles BBC, and Jeremy Peace. I will keep you updated on any response I get.

I chose to watch Saturdays game at the pub, I was disgusted to learn that many of our local bars had chosen to air the Man Utd game instead of the Baggies, so much for local pride.

With results going our way earlier in the day we had the opportunity to go back to the top of the league and open a small gap, and the boys did just that.

Although we did not play as well as what we can, and with yet another referring howler going against us we ground out another important three points.

Hull had plenty of possession and pushed hard for an equaliser in the last ten minutes until Bednar cracked in the third.

I was screaming at the screen for him to take it into the corner right up until it hit the back of the net, and yes all the other Baggies fans turned and smiled at me.

Great result and keeps us ticking along at the top of the table.

The only blip being the sending off of Robinson, although with hindsight he should maybe have stayed on his feet, he did make contact with the ball and the sending off was very harsh.

We wait to see what his punishment will now be having already incurred a poor disciplinary record this season.

Tonight's FA Cup replay offers us the chance to avert our attention away from the league and focus on progressing further in the cup.

I know many fans feel the competition is a distraction but I still love it.

I have also promised my six-year-old nephew we will take him to Peterborough for his first away game if we go through.

It will be interesting to see who Mowbray chooses to play tonight; I would like to see some of the fringe players given a start, namely Hodgkiss and Macdonald.

Macdonald being the only bit of incoming business we have witnessed so far in this transfer window, midfielders Wallwork and Chaplow moving on has freed up some funds for Mowbray to re-invest.

There has been a goalkeeper on trial but we wait to see if he has done enough to get an offer of a deal, while other clubs are busy signing players it is a measure of the work carried out by Mowbray and Peace during the summer that we find ourselves not needing to make panic signings.

I think both the chairman and the manager deserve credit for assembling the current squad and still maintaining our prudent financial status.

Anyway it is Tuesday, we have got a game and I hear The Vine calling my name, all the best, up the Baggies.

Albion fans, what do you think? Have your say below
