West Brom: 5 Reasons They Will Be Relegated This Season
3. They Don't Have A Goal Scorer (Top Scorer Has Four)
Its common for teams that are struggling in the Premier League to find scoring goals difficult, and this is certainly the case for the Baggies. Last season, the club had Romelu Lukaku on loan, and that took a lot of pressure on the team as he scored 17 league goals. Of course, when he returned to Chelsea in the summer he was always going to leave a big hole to fill. At the moment, the club seem to be pinning a lot of their hopes on Saido Berahino, who is their top league scorer with four this season. The club does have other strikers, but most of them havent really performed this season. I mentioned earlier that the team draw too many games, and I think its fair to note that too many draws is often a consequence of not having enough goals in the team. West Brom fans will be hoping they can find some goals from somewhere, but if they cant find them in the forthcoming matches; things could well end in disaster for them this season.
