West Brom debrief: Impressive Alfie Gilchrist debut and what Albion need for Championship success
The week began with what was a positive step forward - with the middle part serving up what seemed like a step back for West Brom.
Questions were raised about the home form and Albion answered them with a victory over Preston.
Ryan Mason's men then faced part one of a two game away week haul - as they headed to Watford. Despite early optimism when they took the lead, they faltered.
Watford hit back to win the game - and arguably could have won by more with Albion struggling to create more than one second half opening.
Jonny Drury reflects on a handful of talking points to come from the game:
Creativity - time for a tweak?
In the first half at Watford, it was a pretty even affair.
Albion got into some decent enough areas, before a piece of Isaac Price magic put them ahead.
They were quickly pegged back - but at half time it felt like the game could be there for the taking if Albion grabbed it. They did not. Watford did.
Albion had spells of possession, but aside from a decent move that saw Price have a header saved, they failed to create.
