Preparation for Albion's home opener at The Hawthorns against Watford tonight has left no stone unturned.
They’re going to be there, like Middlesbrough, we’ll have to be at the top of our game. Bruce said of the visitors: “Yeah, very good! “Who was the 400m runner in our era?” Bruce queried. They’ve got some pace at the top end of the pitch. “He even showed Jesse Owens winning the gold medal in 1936. “Tony Strudwick did the presentation and I it was like ‘where has he got that?’,” Bruce smiled.
West Brom are back at the Hawthorns for the first time this Championship campaign on Monday evening when fellow promotion hopefuls Watford come to town.
Away from that and Albion have a full bill of health ahead of the game. With the two often passing each other between promotion and relegation, they haven’t actually faced off in competitive action since 2018. A 2-2 draw and a 1-0 defeat for Albion in the 17/18 Premier League season.

He also picked up six assists along the way which was The Baggies’ second-best haul last term and three fewer than Robinson mustered. All of this adds up quite nicely to West Brom to win by exactly 1 goal. Across the 12 games Unders came in on 11 occasions with just Hull’s 2-1 win over Bristol City being the outlier.

“A difficult start for Steve Bruce, Middlesbrough away and then Watford at home, but I thought they played very, very well in the second half against Middlesbrough, a lot of new faces getting to know each other and the way they want to play. With their start to the season set to impact Bruce’s credit in the bank with the home faithful, a positive performance at least feels like a minimum requirement heading into the encounter. Watford got themselves up and running with a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in their first competitive outing under Rob Edwards, and that should stand them in good stead to take on the ambitious Baggies under the lights at The Hawthorns.

West Brom have made X changes from the opening day as they take on Watford in their first home game of the Championship season.
It will be a great test to see where the squad really is and how they can compare against a team fresh out of the Premier League looking to go straight back up. There is a great balance in attack with goals from all four forward positions, while they’re countered by the solid base in midfield which they will hope can stifle the Watford attack. This is a strong team and with only minimal injuries and players missing out, there is no excuse for this team not to be good enough to compete against the other top sides in the division.
There is one change to the Albion side this evening - winger Grady Diangana comes in for Matt Phillips, who in turn drops to the bench.

“They’ve recruited some good players and they will be a difficult team to get the better of. “There’s been a good vibe around the training ground. But actually pulling it off is another.

And ahead of their trip to West Brom, manager Rob Edwards revealed there is a good feeling inside the Watford camp right now. Ismaila Sarr scored a quite incredible goal for Watford against West Brom from inside his own half at the Hawthorns.

It is not the best scenario for Watford, as it will force them to open up, and it is unlikely that they will be as reliable in defence as they were a week ago. It could be said that the team made the most of the encounter, as the advantage proved to be less than significant. It should be a cracking night involving two of the best teams in the Championship.” In a clash between two ambitious and equally strong teams, the home team has a slight advantage. Steve Bruce is very fond of playing as number two and this was clearly evident in the Middlesbrough game. As good as they are doing in the Championship, so bad are they doing in the Premier League. The owners – the Pozzo family – who make very abrupt and unreasonable coaching changes and player transfers play a big role here. Of course, they wanted to give it another try, but in the 21/22 season the reliance on Valerien Ismael not only didn’t work, it almost put the club in a crisis situation. The team’s most expensive player, who were rescuing the team on numerous occasions, moved to Crystal Palace, desiring to play in a more spiffy league. From 2010 to 2018, the club was able to successfully compete in the EPL and reach minimal objectives, but then the Throstles fell into a certain decline in which they were facing the difficulties in reaching the top flight. It’s a titanically difficult task to stay in the elite right now. This match represents perhaps the highlight of this Monday’s football – be prepared to see interesting fight of the clubs that are setting themselves ambitious objectives and definitely intend to return to the Premiership next season. The English Premier League and most of major domestic leagues are back.
FOOTBALL is well and truly back - and Watford star Ismaila Sarr has ensured it has returned with a bang after scoring this incredible goal.The winger.
Sarr took it himself, but 12 yards proved to be too close for him as Button gained redemption and saved it to earn his team a point. Then another big moment arrived for Sarr to win it when the Hornets were awarded a penalty with just 17 minutes remaining after a foul on the attacker. With the score still goalless, Sarr received the ball around five yards inside his own half with his back to goal.

Pretty unfortunate in the way the ball broke to Sarr in the build up to the penalty. Still finding his shooing boots after a summer off, on the basis of the first 40 minutes when he could've scored a hat-trick before he actually managed to find the net. Took a no nonsense approach to his defensive duties, though most of the second half he was on the halfway line as Albion dominated. A little quieter in the second. While last week he stole the show, this week Swift was ever so slightly quieter and he allowed Wallace and Diangana to play more prominent roles. At fault for the concession of the penalty but he was otherwise imperious. He picked him out with a beautifully crafted pass and the Albion centre forward did the rest. Made one low stop to keep out Sarr and then there was the penalty save, which was rather straightforward. Carried on his commanding presence from Boro. Kept pace with the lively Sarr and brought the ball out. Albion hunted in packs, pressed with purpose and, crucially, when they had the ball - which, in a dominant first half was plenty - they were really positive. Watford sharpened up, and when Sarr took advantage of a breakdown in passing from Conor Townsend, he found himself in on goal. This was the best Albion had played over 90 minutes for a long time.

Grant got plenty of chances to find the net but carrying on the trend of the 2021-22 campaign, he could not put any of them away… But they got one chance to do so and they made the most of it as Ajayi brought down Sarr for a second-half penalty that he embarrassingly squandered. He and Ajayi have to be the duo for the rest of the season because Kyle Bartley is not on this level.

Not that anybody will remember that in years to come. The former Rennes man's kick was weak and easily stopped. Or at least, that is what West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper David Button must have thought as he stood outside his penalty area. I can't remember a goal like that against me before. They should hand over the Goal of the Season award now. 'It was one of those moments of genius,' said Watford head coach Rob Edwards. 'I'm not surprised as he's super talented.
Watford fans were in agreement with boss Rob Edwards about their side's 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday evening.
SkylaRose : WBA battered us all game and if it wasn't for a wonder goal by Sarr we would of lost that. Truth is we could have won playing like that if Sarr wasn’t on the pens. wfc_warehouse: I think we got away with that - big time - even against the Southamptons and Brightons of the world that would’ve been a bloodbath. NathWFC : A footballing miracle we've come out of that with a point. Watford fans generally were in agreement with boss Rob Edwards after the game - that they were fortunate to leave with a result.
