A ninth defeat of the season and a third under Carlos Corberán leaves the Baggies in sixth spot ahead of Saturday’s games, but they could drop as low as tenth by the end of the weekend such is the tight nature of the Championship.
This campaigns total of 41 points from 28 games is the lowest by a second tier Albion team since the 1999/2000 season and Corberán’s team are five points worse of than Ismaël’s team were at the same stage last season after a 2-0 home defeat by Preston North End – the Frenchman would be dismissed after one more game.
In 2001/02, Megson’s team beat Stockport County 4-0 in game 28, which took place on New Year’s Day 2002, to move them onto 47 points for the campaign. That match was the start of a run of eight wins in nine games which took Albion into contention for the automatic playoff places, and to the sixth round of the FA Cup. They would lose just three more times that season in all competitions.
