West Brom debrief: Ugly Albion, dark arts, more spirit and the key Championship dogfight duo
Albion picked up what could be another key point come the end of the season - as they kept Birmingham City at bay on Tuesday evening.
Chances were limited for the Baggies and they had to soak up waves of pressure - but they got over the line with a bit of fortune late in the game.
Blues had the ball in the net before it was ruled out for offside - before Vicente struck the post with the last kick of the game.
It was a second clean sheet and has given Albion a platform to kick on in the coming weeks.
Jonny Drury looks at some key points to come out of the game:
Damning statistics but a change
Last night represented Albion's first back to back clean sheets since 2024. It was also the first time they had gone unbeaten in two games since November.
Those statistics outline how bad Albion have been this season - and how open they have been since the end of the Carlos Corberan days.
You need to score goals to win games - but you need to keep them out if you are to build momentum.
They have found a way now. Eric Ramsay may have gone the long way around finding it, but his back four has given Albion a platform now.
