West Bromwich Albion
Peace has finally broken out on the Hawthorns board after a summer of strife, but Gary Megson’s men face the fight of their lives to avoid returning to the First Division. With just a Nationwide League budget available, Megson knows it is vital for West Brom to accrue as many points as possible pre-Christmas while the excitement of promotion is fresh
LEAGUE: promoted as First Division runners-up
FA CUP: quarter-final
WORTHINGTON CUP: third round
PREDICTION: will lose battle to avoid drop
TITLE ODDS: 1000-1
OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.wba.co.uk
.

Key man: Jason Roberts
Providing he stays fit, Roberts could be the difference between West Brom staying up or returning to the First Division. A tall, powerfully built Grenada international who made his name with Bristol Rovers, Roberts revels in running at defenders and has long been one of the best strikers outside the Premiership. Now 24, Roberts’s once raw first touch is much improved

Coach: Gary Megson
To win promotion to the Premiership having spent just £2m on transfers and paid your squad a relative pittance in wages is some achievement. Small wonder Megson is football’s latest managerial hot property
