Lyndon Dykes celebrates his goal against West Brom/Picture: Kyle Andrews

It was all about time on Tuesday night at The Hawthorns.

The result, a 1-1 draw in which the Addicks were deeply unconvincing, meant it was time up for West Brom head coach Eric Ramsay, who had only been in the job since January 11. The 34-year-old barely had the chance to unpack prized possessions on his work desk before getting the boot. There was definitely no need to dust afterwards.
