West Brom boss Slaven Bilic has been criticised by BBC Sport journalist Ged Scott as their lack of results at the Hawthorns continued on Wednesday night.

What's he said?

The Baggies are unbeaten after four Championship games this season but their only win has come away from home – at Luton last weekend.

It echoes the start former boss Darren Moore had to the year when West Brom went six games without victory at home before he was ultimately sacked.

Under caretaker Jimmy Shan, the club went on to win five successive Championship matches on the bounce as they went on to make the playoffs with a fourth-place finish.

On the matter, Scott said:

"It really is hard to fathom West Bromwich Albion’s home form in 2019.

"One of the prime factors in Darren Moore’s departure in March was the Baggies’ untimely run of six games without a home win.

"Now this season under Slaven Bilic, it’s as you were again.

"Two away wins so far. And 0 out of 2 at home. And tonight’s contest is already shaping up to be the same."

Hawthorns form must be eradicated

Although it's not a pressing concern, seeing as there have only been two home league games - both resulting in a 1-1 draw, it is something that the Croatian will have to eradicate otherwise he may face the same fate as his predecessor.

The Baggies are unbeaten so things can't be too disastrous but patience may be required before Bilic is able to finally settle on his first-choice starting XI.

A quartet of players arrived on deadline day, all of which are likely to play huge parts this season.

Charlie Austin joins Kenneth Zohore in their attacking ranks and will surely be influential to their season having scored 66 goals in 130 Championship appearance in his career.

Though, he has hardly had a pre-season after being frozen out by his former boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Whilst three wingers accompanied the 30-year-old on deadline day with two of them featuring already this season.

Grady Diangana practically won West Brom the game against Luton, coming on as a substitute to turn the game around with his brace.

And Matheus Pereira has impressed despite featuring as a substitute on three occasions.

Meanwhile, Chris Willock has been getting minutes for the U23 squad in preparation for this season.

Once these players are fully embedded amongst the first team, the likelihood of the squad clicking will increase as Bilic will be able to call upon a more settled starting XI and as they still remain unbeaten, there shouldn't be many concerns for the time being.
