Squad

Jed Wallace 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.

Squad

George Campbell 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Karlan Grant

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Karlan Grant, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Nat Phillips is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Looking ahead

Josh Maja goes back to face Stoke City

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Josh Maja’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and West Bromwich Albion needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout

Josh Maja knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Josh Maja trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Ousmane Diakité has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Ousmane Diakité has written the date down.

Market

The Josh Griffiths question follows West Bromwich Albion around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Josh Griffiths’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Aune Heggebø has been watched

Newcastle United had somebody in the stand with a notebook, and he was not there for the pies. Watching is free; the next step is not.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Aune Heggebø the difference as West Bromwich Albion beat Bristol City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Aune Heggebø. 2‑0 against Bristol City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Wrexham take the points off West Bromwich Albion

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Jed Wallace was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

No hiding place for Max O'Leary

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Max O'Leary, and the manager let it.

Squad

George Campbell 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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by George Clarke to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Mikey Johnston runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Isaac Price

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad

Toby Collyer makes the position his own

At 22 he is in the side on merit and somebody else is watching. Places at West Bromwich Albion are won quietly and lost loudly, and this one was won.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Rabby Nzingoula turns Sepsi OSK down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Jed Wallace 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Jamal Jimoh-Aloba at West Bromwich Albion

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jamal Jimoh-Aloba is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Max O'Leary makes it 200

200 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Loan watch

Ben Cisse counts the days

“I watch every West Bromwich Albion game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Cambridge United runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match

West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

George Campbell 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.

The dugout

George Clarke on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” George Clarke after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Looking ahead

Jayson Molumby goes back to face Preston

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Jayson Molumby’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and West Bromwich Albion needing him to play as if none of it matters.
