If we go up will we see a radical change in our playing style? If we give goals away for fun at this level, I shudder to think what it'll be like in an unforgiving premiership.

Pearson seems to have got things right in both penalty areas and I think overall he'd have been a better fit for us.
Precisely AlbionM,

Every so often a great combination comes along complementing each other, I like the way Pearson and Shakespeare are talking to each other all through the matches standing virtually side by side, the way they run their teams made them a shoe in for the job at Albion, Baggies should have swooped for them instead of appointing 'the plank'....'penny wise pound foolish' comes to mind when it comes to the way Albion go for the machinery needed to be a success.

Bilic is doing a great job at the moment, but when push comes to shove he reminds me a lot of Keegan, it gets all too much for him, hope I'm well off target this time.
