If the script was yet to be written from minute 76 onwards in Tuesday’s clash with Wrexham, then James Morrison couldn’t have worded the conclusion to this story any better. We are in the land of film stars, after all.

Albion were staring down the barrel of a third straight 1-0 defeat, on the verge of three and a half matches without a goal. This had a sinking familiarity to it, after the derby miseries which book-ended the international break.

Where are the goals coming from? Frankly, Albion lined up here with lads who, while earnest and with their application not in question, were playing for Forest Green and Falkirk last season. Realism sets in when you consider that.
