"And it got even worse for the Baggies on Tuesday night as Blackburn's 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday meant Albion dropped into the Championship's bottom three for the first time since November 2022. For a club of this size, relegation to League One almost certainly fits the cliche of "they are too big to go down". This is a club that has only ever been relegated to the third tier once before."
"But badges do not win football matches. A relatively inexperienced head coach in Eric Ramsay, no wins in six (lost five), just one away point from a possible 36, no win on the road since 1 October and the second worst defensive record - the facts do not make for great reading. Fears around The Hawthorns have only increased further after an aggregate 8-0 reverse in games against direct relegation rivals in recent weeks - the 5-0 home hammering by Norwich and 3-0 defeat at Portsmouth last"
The transfer window closed and three months of the EFL season remain, with the Championship, League One and League Two producing potentially historic outcomes. West Bromwich Albion face relegation to League One after dropping into the Championship's bottom three following Blackburn's win. The club has only been relegated to the third tier once in its 148-year history and has spent most seasons in the top two tiers. Poor form under inexperienced head coach Eric Ramsay includes no wins in six (five defeats), one away point from 36 and no away win since 1 October. Recent heavy defeats against relegation rivals total an 8-0 aggregate, including 5-0 to Norwich and 3-0 to Portsmouth.
