West Bromwich Albion U23 have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Premier League 2 Divison Two, after 1-1-4 (6 played).

With the Bromwich losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Bromwich, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-5 versus Reading U23 (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Aston Villa U23 wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Reading U23 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
