West Brom final league position predicted by supercomputer after Stoke City draw
West Brom are now predicted to finish fifth in the Championship after their 1-1 draw against Stoke City on Saturday.
The Baggies added yet another draw to their Championship tally, taking their total up to 14 for the season, which is the most of any team in the second tier.
At the moment, Tony Mowbray’s men sit sixth in the league so the supercomputer evidently believes things are going to get even better at The Hawthorns.
Powered by Opta Analyst, the supercomputer believes the Baggies will be fifth in the table and have a 60.98 per cent chance of earning promotion to the Premier League via the Championship playoffs this season.
West Brom need a striker before winter transfer window closes
Now that Josh Maja is ruled out for an extended period of time, it feels almost imperative that West Brom bring in a new striker before the winter transfer window slams shut.
While Grady Diangana and Karlan Grant have done a decent enough job in his absence, the difference in quality between the three is glaringly obvious.
Neither Grant nor Diangana are 15-goal-a-season strikers, which is exactly what Mowbray needs in the absence of the former Bordeaux man.
The Baggies have made contact with a striker regarding a move [DOOD], but the name of the player hasn’t yet been shared.
Isaac Price is likely to become a Baggies player imminently, which shows that West Brom mean business and are gunning to finish in at least one of the four playoff places.
Of course, there are still around two weeks left in the transfer window, which means things could turn around and perhaps change course before it closes, but on paper, a striker seems like the most needed area of reinforcement at the moment.
