They say that one man doesn't make a team but today, one young man, Jake Robinson, certainly made a massive difference to the Albion when he came on at half time against Burnley. Without him, we looked clueless and ineffective up front with McCammon and McPhee unable to win the ball, hold up the play or give any options for balls to be played into areas that would trouble Burnley's defence.

By this time, Burnley were 1-0 up through Akinbiye (doesn't he always seem to score against us?) who was generally being well marshalled by Virgo (except for this one instance where everyone stood back and watched them score) who was playing in a three man defence in place of Dolan who had been dropped to the bench.

After half time, when Jake had replaced Big Mac, the whole team suddenly sparked into life and we looked more dangerous than we have done in an away match for quite some time. Looking like a little Michael Owen, Jake ran at their defenders and made darting runs for balls to played through to him. Although he was caught offside more times than we would have liked he gave the midfield options of somewhere different to play the ball, worried their defenders and opened up more opportunities than we would ever have had without him.

Most of our best play came down the right where Paul Reid was transformed in the second half and he made the goal when he got to the bye line for the first time and put in an inch perfect cross for Dean Hammond to score.

The 1,000 or so travelling fans went mad and looked forward to more of the same. Reid put the best chance high and wide of the goal and other opportunities were lost due to a mixture of over cautiousness or poor finishing. However, whenever Jake got the ball, we looked like something would happen and he's got to be playing in our last three games. Whether that's from the start or coming on as a sub again to completely change our way of playing is up to Mark McGhee. Let's hope he gets it right.

A draw at home to West Ham and a win at Rotherham should be enough shouldn't it? Let's hope we can go into the last game against Ipswich with nothing riding on the result!
