Tony Pulis will be hoping that new club-record signing Nacer Chadli can make an immediate impact for West Brom at Bournemouth this weekend, to ease the pressure that is already building on the Welshman.
It seems quite a knee-jerk reaction to talk about pressure being on West Brom's head coach just three games into the season, but things have been simmering under the surface for some time. While results from the end of last season and the start of the current campaign have been underwhelming, it is the performances and style of play that has led to mounting criticism of Pulis.
