Albion blog: Can we be champions?

As we all slowly come down from Tuesday night's thrilling Black Country derby win, it is now time to focus on our remaining games, writes blogger Jarrod Hill.

I would have been happy with a point, but in gaining the win we are now in pole position to push on and win the league.

The game itself was entertaining rather than a feast of football, and Wolves 100% effort ensured it was a close affair. Wolves had their share of possession but seemed to lack real quality in the final third and eventually ran out of ideas.

To win these types of game you need your big players to have good games and with Phillips, Gera, Clement, Greening, Kiely and Morrison all playing well we threatened their goal on numerous occasions.

Our midfield out fought and out thought Wolves midfield for long periods of the game, Michael Gray seemed to be carrying much of the fight and I was surprised when he was taken off. Collins at the back looked nervous and indecisive all night and Phillips experience and movement was a constant threat, and it was no surprise when he provided the goal for Gera. His touch from a long raking ball and composure was a class above what we often see in the Championship.

I hope we can now go on and get promoted, and a large part of me hopes Wolves join us, the whole build up to the game, the nervous tension, the passion, and the banter, made me realise how much I would miss these occasions in our calendar season if our clubs were in separate leagues.

Anyway back to our next game, Norwich are still on the verge of a relegation fight and will be looking for points to guarantee safety. I am not sure my nerves will be able to take a last day round of fixtures to decide our promotion fate, if we could get three points at Carrow Road, the home game against Southampton could be party time. With us playing two days after everybody else we could either be playing to secure promotion or be playing catch up, I am not sure which one carries the most pressure, but I know which one I would prefer.

If I was offered second spot and automatic promotion I would accept it in a heart beat, but a conversation I had with my dad on Saturday has stuck in my mind.

He quite rightly pointed out that we have not won any league since 1920, which means he has not seen us lift a League Champions Title in his lifetime.

This may be our best opportunity for many years to come, in a season where it seemed nobody wanted to win it; we are now looking at three fixtures to decide our fate. All season we have heard opposing managers, fans and commentators saying we are the best team in this division, it is now time to prove them right. The table does not lie, but we have won nothing yet, it is time we finished the job, starting with Norwich tomorrow.

The thought of having to go to QPR and sit there in my super hero outfit (cannot decide between Captain America, Banana Man, or just shave my head, shrink a foot and go as Kevin Phillips) chewing my nails, fills me up with nervous tension.

Come on boys lets finish what we started back in August, come on you Baggie boys!!!!!
