The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as WBA have lost on their last two travels.
The manager S. Bilić was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground The Hawthorns. WBA suffered a 1-5 loss to Crystal Palace (placed 11th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Sheffield United.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Crystal Palace was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

WBA has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Manchester City in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
