West Brom may have only drawn their opening game of the new Championship season but they could be best placed to win promotion.
According to The Times, Steve Bruce is now involved in his 44th consecutive season as a player and a manager in professional football which is a statistic no one in history can match.
He has come a long way since his debut for Gillingham in the 1979-80 season and now he can be the one to lead the Baggies to promotion as he has done with Aston Villa and Birmingham City in the region.
His first half a season with West Brom hardly saw him pull up any trees but he did steady the ship at The Hawthorns somewhat and now he has had a transfer window to make his own additions, this Albion side will be one that other sides need to fear.
Starting with Watford on Monday night (8 August) who have just come down from the Premier League and beat Sheffield United on the opening weekend of the new campaign.
The Championship can be the most difficult league to gain any kind of momentum as any side can beat anyone on their day, something West Brom are more than familiar with after last seasons troubles.
But consistency comes from experience and no club can boast a more experienced boss than Albion and it could be Bruces decision-making that decides the clubs fate.
If he can consistently get it right, then West Brom will be tough to stop now they have addressed their creativity issues with John Swift and Jed Wallace.
In other West Brom news, Kean Bryans return to fitness has been nudged even further back to limit Bruces options for the visit of the Hornets.
