Lewis Cox's West Brom analysis: New lows in a never-ending nightmare only likely to end in one place
Just when you think the season might have hit rock-bottom this Albion team plummet to new depths.
Last Tuesday night saw the second permanent head coach of the season axed as relegation fears continued to grow.
Realistically Eric Ramsay had to leave. Nine winless matches at the helm made his position untenable despite just a 44-day tenure.
But Saturday's 2-1 defeat at a desperately out-of-sorts Oxford saw modern-day club legend James Morrison, in caretaker charge, seemingly at the end of his tether.
Albion look absolutely doomed.
It is a miracle - or more accurately a Leicester points deduction due to financial infringements - the hapless Baggies are not in the Championship drop zone.
But they will be, and quickly, if this continues.
There have been some dark days this season but Saturday's defeat at the Kassam Stadium was right up with defeats against Millwall in October under Ryan Mason and the efforts, or lack of, against Norwich and Portsmouth under Ramsay.
Relegation to League One is no longer unthinkable to Albion supporters, it is the absolute reality and it will take some change in fortune, performance level and results to retain the second-tier status.
