The Baggies’ first goalless draw of the season sees them move onto 77 points and, coupled with Sheffield United’s victory at Hull, it means that the top two is now mathematically out of reach. It also means that Albion are guaranteed to finish in the play-off positions.
Shan’s team have the same number of points as Mowbray’s title winning side of 2008, when 77 points was enough to lead the division, but only in the two unsuccessful campaigns of 2001 and 2007 did Albion have fewer points at this stage.
The Baggies have only been victorious in game 45 on two occasions but have only lost once – that was at Stoke City in 2004 when Megson’s team had already secured promotion.
