What they have said: "There is a perception that there are other clubs like West Brom at this level. I don't see anyone else with an £8m wage bill. Would it be my greatest achievement if we stayed up? Not mine, West Brom's. One fairytale was getting into this division. Another would be staying at this level.'' - Gary Megson.

Selection update: Danny Dichio's return after being given a second chance by Gary Megson could be delayed by a back problem. Dichio, transfer-listed after continually being late for training and failing to turn up for meetings, has not trained all week. Scott Dobie and Lee Hughes are again vying to play alongside Jason Roberts. Defender Phil Gilchrist is also struggling with a knee injury. Larus Sigurdsson or Ronnie Wallwork could deputise.
