Overview
- The 0-0 at The Hawthorns brought only a second point in five games under Eric Ramsay.
- Ramsay remains without a league win after five matches in charge, with Albion seven league games without victory.
- The head coach made six changes and moved to a back four, handing a debut to Aston Villa loanee Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and a first league start of the season to Daryl Dike.
- Centre-back Chris Mepham exited late with a hamstring issue, compounding defensive absences for Krystian Bielik and George Campbell before Tuesday’s trip to Birmingham.
- Albion registered just their sixth Championship clean sheet as Stoke’s struggles persisted, with no league win since January 4 and limited threat in attack.
