As the post-Wolves dust continued to settle, Corberan & Co recovered in the best way possible – with a dramatic late win over another local rival as former Villan Andi Weimann taunted Blues at The Hawthorns.

Heartbreak came the following weekend, in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Ipswich, as Albion lost Dike to yet another ruptured Achilles and fell to a stoppage-time leveller.

The middle of the month brought Southampton to The Hawthorns – the very trip Russell Martin’s men will make on Sunday.

The Friday night clash was rather trumped from a news perspective, though, as one Shilen Patel took his place in the West Stand and was serenaded by supporters as news of his imminent takeover emerged 24 hours earlier.
