Summary

August

Newly appointed manager Ryan Mason began his Albion tenure with an opening day clash at home to Blackburn. The hosts started brightly, grabbing the lead fifteen minutes in through Isaac Price. Albion held on in the second half, despite Darnell Furlong's red card, to win 1–0.[57] The Baggies were in action just three days later in the EFL Cup, and were knocked out on penalties at the Hawthorns by Derby County. Aune Heggebø scored his first goal for the club in the second half, but Joe Ward equalised right at the death and the Rams won the subsequent shoot-out 3–2 to knock Albion out in the first round for the third year in a row.[58] The first away day of the season was a trip to newly promoted Wrexham, with owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watching on. Isaac Price scored again to give Albion the lead, but the hosts hit back through Lewis O'Brien just before half-time. Substitutes Mikey Johnston and Jed Wallace combined to give the Baggies the lead in the second half, before Price grabbed his second to make 1–3. Sam Smith pulled one back for Wrexham late on, but it wasn't enough to stop Albion making it back-to-back victories to start the league campaign.[59] Next up for the Baggies was Portsmouth at the Hawthorns, and it ended in a controversial 1–1 draw. Mikey Johnston gave the hosts a first half lead, but Colby Bishop equalised for Portsmouth just after the interval. Albion were denied a penalty for what seemed to be a clear foul on Aune Heggebø, and then saw a stonewall red card not be given moments later, with Ryan Mason sent off for his protests.[60] Mason then had to watch from the stands as they won 0–1 away at Stoke, with Nat Phillips heading Albion into 2nd place going into the first international break.[61]

September

West Bromwich Albion celebrated 125 years at the Hawthorns on the 13 September at home to Derby County, but the visitors spoiled the party with a late Andi Weimann strike.[62] A long trip up to Teesside awaited the Baggies on the following Friday, against a Middlesbrough side top of the Championship table. Boro took lead through defender David Strelec, before Kaly Sène doubled the lead on the hour mark. Aune Heggebø pulled one back late on, but it wasn't enough as Middlesbrough took all three points.[63] Next up for Albion was Leicester City under the Friday night lights at the Hawthorns. Samuel Iling-Junior made his full debut, and ten minutes in scored a wonderful solo goal. Albion had multiple chances to kill the game off, but didn't take them and were made to pay when Nat Phillips put the ball in his own net in stoppage time.[64]

October

Norwich City in midweek were next up, having lost all of their home games so far. Josh Maja's first goal of the season was enough to earn all three points on the road, as Norwich's poor run at Carrow Road continued.[65] Albion were then well beaten at the Den, with Millwall running out 3–0 winners. Jake Cooper gave the hosts a first half lead, before Femi Azeez and Zak Sturge extended their advantage in the second half.[66] The Baggies returned home from the international break with a promising 2–1 victory over Preston. Mikey Johnston and Isaac Price put Albion 2–0 up, and held on despite a late Michael Smith consolation.[67] They were unable to build on the victory however, falling to a 2–1 defeat at Vicarage Road the following Wednesday. Price scored again to give the Baggies the lead, but Watford turned it round through Imran Louza and Rocco Vata. [68] Albion then lost on the road again, with Jack Clarke pouncing on a late mistake to win the game for Ipswich Town.[69]

November

The poor run of form continued with a goalless draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday, who had recently entered administration and had been deducted 12 points.[70] Albion performed better against Charlton, and Josh Griffiths saved a first half penalty, but they conceded a last minute Sonny Carey winner to ramp up the pressure on Ryan Mason.[71] The Baggies did manage to end the poor run with 2–1 comeback win over Oxford United. Will Lankshear put the visitors in front, but Greg Leigh put the ball in his own net 2 minutes later to equalise. Aune Heggebø then came off the bench to score the winner twenty minutes from time.[72] Following the final international break of the year, Albion fell to a 3–2 defeat against league leaders Coventry City. Aune Heggebø scored twice to put the Baggies 0–2 up, but the Sky Blues pulled a goal back through Josh Eccles before half-time. Following the interval, Jayson Molumby received his second yellow card, and Coventry took advantage, Ellis Simms and Victor Torp scoring to turn the game around.[73] Back at the Hawthorns, Albion played out an entertaining 1–1 draw with local rivals Birmingham City. Alex Mowatt grabbed the opener, before Marvin Ducksch equalised late into the second half.[74] The Baggies were back at home just three days later, up against Swansea City. The Swans made the perfect start, with Zan Vipotnik scoring after just 12 seconds before Ethan Galbraith made it two ten minutes later. However, Albion came out rejuvenated after the break, and Aune Heggebø squared the game with two quickfire goals before Jayson Molumby completed the comeback in the 85th minute.[75]

December

Albion then lost on the road again the following weekend, falling to a 3–1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers. Aune Heggebø's sixth goal in seven games was not enough, as the host scored via a Jonathan Varane header and a brace from Rumarn Burrell.[76] Down at St. Mary's in midweek, the Baggies lost their seventh consecutive away game. Adam Armstrong scored twice after an early Léo Scienza strike to put Southampton three goals up at half-time, and despite second-half goals from Karlan Grant and Nat Phillips, the hosts secured all three points as it finished 3–2.[77] Mason's men picked up a much needed win under the Sky cameras on the Friday night, beating in form an inform Sheffield United side 2–0. Aune Heggebø put the Baggies in front just after half-time, before Karlan Grant doubled the lead ten minutes later to secure the three points.[78]
