For us oldies, how about going back to 1983.
Wins against WBA & Notts County that may, but wouldn't, have kept us up, or win V Sheff Wed and a trip to Wembley?
For 34 years that/those trips to Wembley were the greatest days of my Albion supporting life.
A win in Ajax may not beat that day but it would come close.
Oh yes. Even given the choice again I'd take relegation and the Cup Final as opposed to survival that season. We were going to get relegated anyway at some point (maybe even next season), and at least we went down in .... well not perhaps a 'blaze of glory' but with what was until recently one of THE great Albion achievements. That semi-final against Sheff Wed! I'd always been so jealous watching the Cup Final and wishing it was us, and then one day it was.

Well, we won at Ajax and got four points from the two Premier League games. I think most of us would have taken that!

Def would - but wouldn’t have expected the points to come how they did. If it wasn’t for a silly red, and if we’d put away a second chance as we should have v Sheff U, it would be been 3 wins…!

Or as Liam Brady said after our draw with Canvey Island, 'If my auntie had balls, she'd be my uncle'.

And if that forest header (I forget who by) in the dying minutes had gone in and not been well saved by Bart, it would have been 1 win... ifs and buts apply when we win too!

Very happy with the return of 2 wins and a draw from these three games all things considered! 😀
