Have Albion's January transfer window priorities changed?

It has been the sort of period which must have left - and still leaves - the freed up Ian Pearce, sometimes maligned in his role, feeling immensely satisfied as he watched this refreshed side, which he has heavily influenced in moulding, take apart promotion fancies - including his own former employers.

Not only have we felt even more the effects of Rabby Nzingoula, Felix Horn Myhre, Brayann Pereira and Jimmy-Jay Morgan in the Albion starting XI as they swept aside Millwall, but then the lesser spotted winger Kareem Tunde played a leading hand when arriving from the bench to aid two of the three goals.
