Competitions

Summary

August
Albion's opening game was a trip to Ewood Park, against Blackburn Rovers. However, they were caught out by two goals in quick succession by Harry Leonard and Dilan Markanday. Matt Phillips pulled one back in the second half, but ultimately Albion left Lancashire empty handed. Next up was Stoke away in the EFL Cup, with the hosts winning 2–1. Brandon Thomas-Asante was on target for the visitors in that one. Swansea City were the first to visit the Hawthorns for the season, and Albion managed to record their first win. Semi Ajayi gave the Baggies an early lead following a long throw, before Swans keeper Carl Rushworth put the ball in his own net to double the lead. Conor Townsend then raced into the penalty area to win a spot kick, which was confidently converted by John Swift. Swansea pulled two back through Harry Darling and Ben Cabango, but the hosts held on for a 3–2 win. Albion were on their travels again on the Friday Night, this time to Elland Road. After a goalless first half, Jayson Molumby's shot ricocheted in off Brandon Thomas-Asante's arm, which was not picked up by the officials. Luke Ayling equalised for Leeds in the 72nd minute to split the points in a 1–1 draw. There were six goals in Albion's next match, at home to Middlesbrough finishing 4–2 in Albion's favour. First half strikes from Cedric Kipre and John Swift found the top corner, with Middlesbrough's Emmanuel Latte Lath scoring straight after the second. 2–1 at half-time, it was soon 3–1 when Brandon Thomas-Asante latched onto an error by Lukas Engel. Marcus Forss stuck away a penalty late on and Jeremy Sarmiento scored his first Albion goal to seal the points in stoppage time.

September
Albion were at home again against Huddersfield Town at the start of Septmber, but lost thanks to a 96th minute winner from Jack Rudoni. They had fallen behind after Delano Burgzorg's first half effort with Swift scoring a counter-attacking goal on 52 minutes. After the season's first international break, Albion were held to a 0–0 draw at Ashton Gate. Bristol City dominated the first half before Albion came into the game in the second period, however neither side could find a goal. There were four goals scored in the opening 25 minutes at Vicarage Road the following Wednesday, and none were scored after that period. Watford began the game brightly and Tom Ince put them in front after just 3 minutes. Albion responded in little time thanks to a Swift free-kick and a clever finish from Albion skipper Jed Wallace. Matheus Martins levelled the Hornets in the 23rd minute and that was the end of the scoring, the game finishing 2–2. Alex Palmer then saved a Zian Flemming penalty in the next game at home to Millwall, but despite a strong display Albion were unable to find a winner and the game ended goaless. Albion certainly weren't shy on goals in their following trip to Deepdale, as they simply blew Preston - who were undefeated - away in a 4–0 thrashing. Darnell Furlong opened the scoring with an arrowed strike in the 4th minute, before Alex Mowatt doubled the lead before half time. Matt Phillips and Kyle Bartley got two late goals to cap off a brilliant away day.

October
Bottom of the table Sheffield Wednesday came to the Hawthorns and lost by a goal to nil, courtesy of John Swift's fifth goal of the season. Swift had six just three days later, when he put Albion 1–0 up just five minutes into a midlands derby at St. Andrew's. However, Albion would go on to lose that game, with Leandro Bacuna equalisng from a controversial penalty, and Dion Sanderson and Gary Gardner sealing a 3–1 victory. Albion came out of the international break with a 0–0 draw at home to newly promoted Plymouth Argyle, with the visitors looking the most threatening. It was back-to-back home games as Queens Park Rangers made the trip to Black Country sitting inside the relegation zone. After a goalless opening 45, the game hinged on a penalty won by the dancing feet of Grady Diangana. Brandon Thomas-Asante stuck it away confidently before Diangana grabbed a second thanks to great work by Nathaniel Chalobah. It was a visit to the CBS on Monday Night Football, and Albion made it back to back 2–0 wins. Grady Diangana pounced on Ben Wilson fumbling the ball as he tried to catch it, and Brandon Thomas-Asante scored in the second half with a ruthless finish in the top corner.

November
Albion were back at home against the impressive tigers, Hull City, and made it three wins on the bounce in a 3–1 win. A risky back pass from Jean Michael Seri was intercepted by Jed Wallace, who calmly converted from 12 yards. Hull levelled just before the break, through captain Lewie Coyle with a smart volley. However Albion responded thanks to two fluid team goals finished off by Matt Phillips and Semi Ajayi. However, for the third time in a row, the Baggies would lose going into an international break on the south coast against Southampton. Conor Townsend couldn't keep out Will Smallbone's first half effort, but Albion responded with Kyle Bartley's scramble after Thomas-Asante's header hit the bar in the second half. However, despite a strong second half showing, the Saints struck late via Adam Armstrong. High flying Ipswich Town at home seemed like a tough game to try and respond after the break, but Albion put in an incredible performance to win 2–0. Goals early in each half from Darnell Furlong and Grady Diangana set the Baggies on their way to victory. The final game of November was in South Wales against Erol Bulut's bluebirds. In a scrappy game, the match was decided by a moment of brilliance from Jeremy Sarmiento, curling in a beautiful shot from a tight angle.

December
Albion's next game was a home fixture against top of the table Leicester City, and the Baggies put up a great display and were unlucky to lose. In a cagey affair, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall headed in a Mavididi cross in the 72nd minute, only for Josh Maja to score what looked to be a goal which salvaged a deserved point. However, there was late heartbreak, as the Baggies were caught on the break and Harry Winks stole the points at the death for Leicester. A rare poor performance followed on Wearside, and Albion were beaten 2–1. After a goalless first half with a couple of refereeing mistakes, Dan Ballard nodded in Sunderland's opener from a free-kick and Dan Neil scored on the counter attack. Thomas-Asante pulled one back, but Albion ultimately lost back to back games for the first time in the season. Albion got back to winning ways at the New York Stadium, wining 2–0 after second half goals from Grady Diangana and Jed Wallace on his return to action following an injury. Rotherham - who had slipped to the foot of the table - tried to make it difficult from the off, but were undone by a deflected Diangana shot and a stunning late free kick from skipper Jed Wallace. The following Sunday Albion returned to the Hawthorns against managerless Stoke City. Lynden Gooch gave the potters an early lead following a cross-shot that sailed over Alex Palmer's head, with Brandon Thomas-Asante equalising with an impressive volley. Albion battled hard in the second half but were unable to find a winner.
