A new season but the same old result from another trip to the Hawthorns

On my journey to West Brom, with our team being on a five-match unbeaten run, I was in a buoyant mood and believing this was the day we could rectify our abysmal record there by returning home with at least a point.
Preston North End were beaten at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday
With us still being in the game right until the last minute, I did not experience quite as much of a prickly time at the Hawthorns as I had felt on previous occasions.
However, it feels that this place is cursed as a narrow 2-1 reverse amazingly made it 14 league defeats from our last 15 visits here since 1973.
Backed by more than 2,000 vociferous fans, North End's players responded in the game's early stages.
