What do we think?
Prior to the postponement of professional football in England, it may be fair to say that the Baggies put themselves into a somewhat positive position to achieve promotion to the Premier League for next season. West Brom currently sit in second place in the Championship table, earning 70 points from their 37 league games thus far.
Had English football not been postponed, it is possible that the Baggies could have secured promotion to the Premier League by now, provided other results had gone their way. As a result, it may be understandable why some Baggies fans may be somewhat anxious to see English football get back underway.
