The West Bromwich Albion Sentinel
Player ratings27 Dec 2027
Mikey Johnston runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

West Bromwich Albion leave it late against Shrewsbury Town
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 88th, and Shrewsbury Town spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.
Player ratings27 Dec 2027
Isaac Price scores twice — 8.02
Two goals and a mark of 8.02 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The terraces27 Dec 2027
The crowd has taken to Callum Olusesi
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match25 Dec 2027
West Bromwich Albion make home a hard place to visit
8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Peter Davis out for 40 days
