A post on the West Brom forum prompted me to look up the following stat.

The last time we were in the premier League was the 2011/12 season.
On the 5th October 2011 we had played 7 games and were placed 14th in the League.
P7 W2 D1 L5 GF 6 GA 10 P7

Compare that with now
P7 W3 D3 L1 GF8 GA6 P12


At the end of the season the table had a distinctly different look.

P38 W5 D10 L23 GF40 GA 82 P25.

Already this season looks a great deal better.
