Everyone connected with West Bromwich Albion could be forgiven for peering enviously at the victors on Saturday for a picture of all that their club once was, and should be.
Huddersfield are a club of modest scale, but guided by a dynamic manager and backed by an attentive owner, they absolutely know their principles and how progress can be obtained.
For West Bromwich right now, none of that applies. The players look lost, there is deep discord in the stands and, though Alan Pardew remains in charge, defeat at Watford on Saturday would in all likelihood bring his tenure to an end.
