Lewis Cox's West Brom analysis: Hopeless on the field and hope lost off it - how do Albion survive?
Albion are hopeless at the moment and that is exactly what their supporters feel.
There is no greater indictment in this sorry state of affairs.
The club appear to be sleepwalking and hurtling towards League One, if that were at all possible.
Head coach Eric Ramsay is on the brink a little over a month into his tenure at The Hawthorns after eight winless matches at the helm, the most recent Saturday's routine 2-0 Coventry victory in the Black Country.
Only a last-gasp Stoke equaliser against relegation-battling Leicester kept the 21st-placed Baggies from the bottom three.
One thing is for sure, owner and chairman Shilen Patel can be under no illusion of the situation having sat through Saturday's defeat to the leaders.
It is not necessarily the scoreline that stung the most, as many expected favourites Coventry to win. Ramsay's hosts, on this occasion, did not unravel to lose by an embarrassing deficit after the Sky Blues struck twice in the first 32 minutes.
Though there is an argument that Frank Lampard's visitors came right off the gas as they coasted through a second half non-event.
The glaring concern for Albion chairman - beyond the league table which should sound deafening alarm bells - will be the atmosphere around The Hawthorns and club generally.
