Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 6 games

Published on: Author: Jon Want

For the fifth consecutive season, the Baggies find themselves with eight points from the first six games which, given that they had six points from the first two, is something of a disappointment this time around.

Tony Pulis managed to keep up his record of never having won a point at the Emirates, although Albion were perhaps a little unfortunate given the blatant penalty that referee, Bobby Madley, failed to award early on which could have made things very different.

It was, however, the first time that Albion had lost game six of a Premier League season, although with Watford to come this weekend, it should be noted that they haven’t won game seven since 2012.
