Hands up all those fans who'd heard much about the two new players who signed on at the Albion in the same week in June - Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Barney Stewart?
I suspect there's not many. But in the absence of Aune Heggebo, Morgan and Stewart will probably form the strike partnership when James Morrison's team kick off their home campaign against Burnley tomorrow.
The pair have a grand total of one Championship appearance between them .. Morgan's goalscoring debut at Norwich last Saturday. They're as green as the newly-clipped pitch at The Hawthorns. Stewart is 22 and cost £1.2 million from Falkirk; Morgan, even younger at 20, was poached from Chelsea for £1.3 million.
