West Brom utility player Steve Watson is pushing for a recall ahead of the Baggies' trip to Plymouth on Saturday.Watson, who last featured in senior action more than a month ago, has returned to training after recovering from hamstring troubles and could feature against the Pilgrims, although a Boxing Day outing against Preston is more likely. The Baggies are otherwise at full strength although Paul Robinson, Jason Koumas, Nigel Quashie, Zoltan Gera and John Hartson are all one more booking away from triggering one-game suspensions. Albion manager Tony Mowbray said: "It is pleasing to go into the Christmas period with a fully-fit squad but I am just hoping the players on four bookings do not all get their fifth in the same match. "But every team will be suffering with players on four bookings with the way this league is, so we just have to get on with it."
