Low crowd, Furlong who and touching tributes: Four things you may have missed from West Brom's draw with Sheffield Wednesday

Ryan Mason's side created a few chances from outside the box - but had to settle for a point and were booed off by the fans at the end of the game.

Jonny Drury looks at a few things you may have missed from the game:

Low crowd and voting with feet

There have been a few moans and groans in the last few weeks about Albion’s lack of attacking action, certainly at Ipswich last week.

The goals haven’t flowed and neither has the entertainment, and some fans vented their frustration with booing last weekend in East Anglia.

Back on home soil and it didn't get any better, with Albion booed off after a woeful afternoon against Sheffield Wednesday.

The atmosphere was a bit subdued early on, with an unusually low home crowd.

To the eye, there were plenty of empty seats in the Birmingham Road End and the East Stand, unusual for a home game. The official attendance was just over 23,600, but it was nowhere near that.

Why was it? Was it because of the recent displays and lack of that entertainment value that some fans would just rather stay at home.

Then there is the 12.30 kick off element and Sky Sports. We know many aren’t a fan of that.

But my personal opinion is that fans voted with their feet, after two dull away defeats, many maybe just didn't fancy it given what they have seen recently. And that is a bit of an indictment of the way Albion are playing at the moment.

Furlong in disguise

Albion’s right back area has proved a bit of an issue since Darnell Furlong left.

George Campbell has been in there, with Alfie Gilchrist finally breaking into the side in recent games.

What has also been something Albion have lacked is that weapon of a long throw that Furlong had, which every team in the country seems to have these days.

However, they don’t just have that long throw back, they look like they may have an even deadlier weapon.

Gilchrist wound up for a first half long throw and sent a rocket well into the six yard box that caused a bit of mayhem and almost a goal for Albion.

He didn’t have many other chances to do it, but it very much looked like a Furlong type weapon but one that could potentially be even more dangerous.

It has been a while since Albion have used it consistently to their advantage and hopefully on this evidence Gilchrist can be a big provider.

On a day where Albion collectively were poor, Gilchrist's display was one of the brighter ones.

Touching Mark Townsend moment

There was frustration at times in what was happening on the pitch - as Albion failed to get back to winning ways.

But the 57th minute of the game showed that football is about more than just what happens on the pitch.

Albion and Wednesday fans stood to give applause in memory Mark Townsend, who died following a cardiac arrest at the reverse fixture at Hillsborough last year.

It was an incredibly touching moment to see both Albion and Wednesday fans coming together - in what was the first meeting between the two sides since the anniversary of his passing, and the inquest into his death last month.

The touching tribute was another brilliant gesture from the Albion fans, and showed that football is about more than just what happens on the pitch.

Alongside that, around £2,000 was handed over from Albion fans to the initiative ‘One in every corner’, following a recent bucket collection outside the ground.

The campaign is aiming to get defibrillators in and around the corners of every football stadium in the country.

Colin Addison tribute

More tributes were paid at half time to the late former Albion assistant manager Colin Addison, who passed away recently.

The well travelled striker, moved into coaching and was assistant to Ron Atkinson during both of his two spells at the club.

Addison went with Atkinson to Atletico Madrid and even became manager after Atkinson made a swift exit from the Spanish club.

Addison was at Albion during a time when they were one of the best sides in the country - and will be well remembered by certain Baggies fans.
