[Albion] If?

[The Optimist]

That thought was uppermost in my mind in 1997 ….

26 years to go from the 4th tier and one game from non-league to being in the running for Europe. It’s been quite a journey!

if we were to qualify for Europe how would we fair look at West Ham flying last year get into Europe this year their league form has dramatically dropped only two points off a relegation spot is this a sign that if you are not one of the big six with a second squad of players practically as good as the first team then managing players game time proves to be very difficult and if we do loose Ali Mac and Casedo in the summer will we be able to cope

I'd fancy us to buck the trend. We are not other clubs.

Also worth noting West Ham got to the Semi final and Rangers got to the final.

Imagine that ! would almost be worth a terrible season after

But West Ham qualified for Europe two season in a row, it didn’t have that much effect on them last season, finishing 7th and getting to the Europa League semi final. This season it appears to be having more effect but that could be several other factors. For a start Antonio seems to have forgotten where the goal is and they heavily relied on his goals previously.
