The Championship is not a league in which any team gets much of a rest, and after a hectic February in which West Bromwich Albion faced seven games in just the 29-day period, the March calendar is here and it has the Baggies down for five tough games.

The first of those clashes comes as soon as tomorrow evening as Newcastle United travel to the West Midlands for their FA Cup 5th round tie, but after that, the Baggies face an incredibly tough run of league games where they travel away to Swansea, host Birmingham and then get on the road again against Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday.
It won’t be an easy time at all for the Baggies, but with Slaven Bilic aiming high and with the fans’ hearts set on promotion, it will be another grind for the West Midland’s side as they go into these games. The recent defeat against Wigan needs to be forgotten and winning ways need to be resumed, but it will certainly be easier said than done.
How many wins will we get on this month?
One/Two
Three
Four
Full house! All five

Would take a quarter final and 8/12 points

I would take 9 points from the 4 league games and a 1/4 final place in the FA Cup

12 points and a cup win! Aim high!

Need at least 7 points from the 4 games. Keep that average and we’ll go up.

The fans have got high hopes for the next few weeks and will just be keen to see their side perform, retain top spot and hopefully make it into the cup quarter-finals.
