Last season Albion's young flyer Fellows ended the season joint top of the assist charts with 14.

He could and should have had many, many more throughout the campaign with all the chances he created for Albion's forward line.

Back in the summer, when Fellows departed for Southampton, there was a real worry as to where Albion's ammunition would come from.

Samuel Iling-Junior came in as the direct replacement for the Fellow - but has so far failed to hit the heights of the academy star.
