Albion’s Promotion Challenge Season Comparison – 15 games

As the Baggies go three games without a victory for the first time this season, they have dropped down to fifth place in the table and look to next week’s trip to struggling Hull City to get back to winning ways.

It’s a game that could have gone either way with Rovers in the ascendancy following their equaliser only for ‘keeper, David Raya, to be forced off through injury with all three substitutions having been made. That left Blackburn with ten men and midfielder, Richie Smallwood, in goal for the last ten or twelve minutes, but while they came close, Albion couldn’t find the winner.

From a comparison point of view, only Megson’s 2001 team had a worse record at this stage.
