No Baggies fan will be disappointed with a draw away at Tottenham, particularly after the start we’ve made this season, although Rondón’s late chance did make you think of what might have been.
Nonetheless, while the first game of the Pulis era was a distinct improvement in performance and entertainment, the statistics this campaign still make sorry reading. Only in the Great Escape season did we have fewer points or fewer wins from 13 games, and never have Albion scored fewer than 10 goals at this stage.
Game 14 last season was a home game with Watford, and it was the first time that Albion had won game 14 in the Premier League.
