    [Albion] Pace / playing on the break

    And in those 15 minutes I saw what I've seen in a lot of our recent games (which is what my comments are referring to, as the thread is, our current reliance on pace and playing on the break - not just the Leeds game). v Bolton we dominated possession early on but didn't break them down, our...
