I think just as we talk about players adjusting to a new league

The manager knows the league, but hasn't managed here and it feels like quite a leap, especially given they did the untried manager route and got rid of him. He looked broken and it was his first game.

Also why so few Baggies fans? I always thought they had decent crowds. Is there a real disillusionment with the club for some reason other than the performances - or is it just been stuck in this league for longer than they were expecting?
