Where do you begin to sum up Tuesday nights (20th January) performance against relegation battlers Norwich City. Perhaps it is best not to try, but suffice to say the last time Albion ‘shipped’ five goals at home without reply was on Boxing Day 2004, when Liverpool and Michael Owen did the damage in the televised Premier League clash.
However, we must wish the new man at the helm Eric Ramsey well, in his quest to put Albion back on an even keel.
Albion were also on the wrong end of a 3-2 home defeat against title chasing Middlesbrough four days earlier, when Alistair Robertson was on hand top present club caps to two former club captains, Jake Livermore and Kyle Bartley pitchside during the interval, and it is hoped that we see a lot more of the two crowd favourites in the future.
Ally was also ‘on duty in the Richardson Suite along with another former skipper Paul Raven, Bernard McNally and Carl Heggs, before the Norwich City game, and Andy Johnston joined Chairman Ray Wilson, Secretary Geoff Snape and Treasurer Norman Westbury and guests in the Regis Suite.
