The Baggies drew 1-1 away at Ashton Gate 13 years ago, and the fans have loved seeing the throwback to the goal that they scored in the game, a wonderful move that was both started and finished by their Slovenian star, Robert Koren.
Many fans have drawn comparisons between the team they had on that day and the one they have now, and the Baggies are keen to see their side score some equally nice goals to the one bagged by Koren when they face the Robins tomorrow.
