A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Wright

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. West Bromwich Albion lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market13 Jan 2031

Steven Benda puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at West Bromwich Albion, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market13 Jan 2031

Hugo Bennett has said yes to Northampton Town

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. West Bromwich Albion have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets13 Jan 2031

Too dear: West Bromwich Albion walk away from Martín Zubimendi

$2.5M was the most the club would pay and Arsenal were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

The dugout13 Jan 2031

Danyal Iqbal: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” West Bromwich Albion have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market13 Jan 2031

Exeter City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and West Bromwich Albion did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad13 Jan 2031

Words at West Bromwich Albion training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aune Heggebø is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad13 Jan 2031

Ørn Flø arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Ørn Flø has, at West Bromwich Albion, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad13 Jan 2031

A falling-out at West Bromwich Albion

Jakoslav Stanković and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad6 Jan 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Wright

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. West Bromwich Albion lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings6 Jan 2031

A brace, and Aune Heggebø takes the afternoon — 8.53

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Aune Heggebø provided it, and the 8.53 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market6 Jan 2031

Harold Santiago Mosquera puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at West Bromwich Albion, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad6 Jan 2031

Aune Heggebø falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom6 Jan 2031

West Bromwich Albion beat the market to Chinonso Chibueze from Charlton Athletic

Charlton Athletic will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Chinonso Chibueze has pre-agreed a move to West Bromwich Albion, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad6 Jan 2031

Jakoslav Stanković in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at West Bromwich Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets6 Jan 2031

Leeds United tell West Bromwich Albion: Tom Cannon is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Loan watch6 Jan 2031

Vimal Yoganathan has seen enough of Wolverhampton

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at West Bromwich Albion, and 5 appearances in 23 say he has earned the hearing.

The terraces6 Jan 2031

The crowd has taken to Dauda Iddrisa

At 23 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.

Squad30 Dec 2030

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Wright

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. West Bromwich Albion lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad30 Dec 2030

Steven Benda stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings30 Dec 2030

Age has not caught Jed Wallace yet — 7.99

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.99 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market30 Dec 2030

Shane Gompe hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what West Bromwich Albion can pretend not to have heard.

Squad30 Dec 2030

Tempers go at West Bromwich Albion

Jakoslav Stanković was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match28 Dec 2030

Doncaster Rovers take the points off West Bromwich Albion

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

Tegan Finn gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad30 Dec 2030

A row about effort at West Bromwich Albion

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dauda Iddrisa was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match30 Dec 2030

Halfway: West Bromwich Albion sit in position 17

27 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.
