Lewis Cox's West Brom player ratings: Three eights including for returning defender in battling Blues stalemate

MAX O'LEARY 

Big saves from Osayi-Samuel and Osman in the first period. Fortunate from a looped corner and moment of hesitancy. Another huge stop from Ducksch after break. Charmed life late on but earned it.

Earned 7

DANNY IMRAY

Endured a nightmare start with the early booking against speedster Osman. Lost Paik for diving header cleared on line. Improved later in break but hooked at half-time again.

Hooked 5

NAT PHILLIPS

A series of strong tackles and important clearances. Continuously put his head where it hurts and finished with concussion injury. Is he finding some form?

Warrior 7

CHARLIE TAYLOR

Accomplished and well-positioned for key clearances. Unbelievable goalline clearance after the hour was outrageous. He was composed throughout and was rightly applauded by colleague at full-time.

Clearance 8

CALLUM STYLES

Really strong start to the game in both directions. Responsible for fine early 'save' on the goalline from Paik but very useful with ball. Really solid and composed after early yellow.

All-action 8

ALEX MOWATT

Albion look much better with him back at the heart. Dictated with the ball and used it well to get Baggies on front foot. Some nous late on when Albion were battling.

Nous 7

JAYSON MOLUMBY

Looks somewhere back near his best - again helped by having Mowatt. Full-blooded and spirited display as ever - if more here. Moved forward after changes but he was everywhere.

Relentless 8

JED WALLACE

Unable to assist the targeted Imray early but got into decent positions down other end. Couldn't find telling ball or delivery but gave his all as ever.

Outball 6

ISAAC PRICE

A quiet evening as he struggled to get on the ball and make things happen but it was not for the lack of industry. Albion needed him to see more of the ball.

Quiet 5

JAMALDEEN JIMOH-ALOBA

His second Baggies appearance and once again he looked a real livewire. Blues' backline struggled to handle his pace and trickery. Looks a promising loan capture.

Trickery 7

AUNE HEGGEBO

Back somewhere near his strong best after Saturday's breather. Held it up brilliantly against two big, imposing centre-backs. Little chance-wise bar flicked header. Grafted.

Industrious 7

Substitutes:

Alfie Gilchrist (for Imray, 45) Not exposed like Imray was. Caught ball-watching for one Osman effort. 6

Mikey Johnston (for Wallace, 61) Couldn't quite get into his groove for an impact. 5

Daryl Dike (for Heggebo, 61) Put himself about and looked more ready than on Saturday. 6

Ousmane Diakite (for Jimoh-Aloba, 71) Got away with backwards header. 6

Krystian Bielik (for Phillips, 90+2) n/a

Subs not used: Griffiths, Whitwell, Bostock, Maja
