FT: West Brom 0-2 Coventry Tony 'Bomber' Brown West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM It's been a bit very disappointing afternoon. Two early goals we gave away and I think it was poor defending for both of them and that costs you the game. They haven't been able to get to get forward, get any kind of strikes on to get back into the game. So really it's been a miserable afternoon if you're in Albion supporter who haven't had enough quality to break this Coventry Coventry side down.

West Brom 0-2 Coventry Steve Hermon BBC Radio WM commentator This is the strength in depth that Coventry City have got. To be able to bring on Ellis Simms and Josh Eccles, who is making his 187th appearance for Coventry today. So an experienced player in Ellis Simms and now they're going to bring on Brandon Thomas-Asante and Romain Esse who's on loan from Crystal Palace.

West Brom 0-2 Coventry Tony 'Bomber' Brown West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM Albion can't afford to slow this pace down now. They've set off and they've shown the intentions. They've got to keep it up, got to keep this tempo up and go at Coventry. West Brom 0-2 Coventry Tony 'Bomber' Brown West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM You can see what's happened in the dressing room at half time. I think there's been a few words Because Albion's manager sent them out early. Eric Ramsay must have had his harsh words early, sent them out and now let's see how they respond. All of a sudden the Albion fans are getting behind them. They need a gold desperately. West Brom 0-2 Coventry The second half has kicked off with West Bromwich Albion looking to make a comeback against Coventry City. Albion start off strongly as they nearly create an early chance with Heggebo's effort from the byline. HT: West Brom 0-2 Coventry Steve Ogrizovic Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR If there's a template for an away performance, that first half was exactly it. Coventry were solid, they controlled the ball well, good in possession, took the steam out of West Brom's early forages. Moved the ball and kept it away from them. When West Brom did keep the ball, they had a good shape. The shape is a lot better and they've been really clinical when they've got forward. HT: West Brom 0-2 Coventry Tony 'Bomber' Brown West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM The Albion fans haven't been happy at all and to be fair, Albion haven't been able to break this Coventry side down. They they've been very comfortable, very confident. This Coventry team as a whole look quite a decent side, but it's got to be a lot of talking from the manager at half time. He's got to put a little bit of spirit and a little bit of zip or something into this Albion side. They've got come out in the second-half and take the game to Coventry to try and just turn it round, get anything out of it. If they can get an early goal at the start of the second-half you'd think they might have a chance, but it's been a poor first half. West Brom 0-2 Coventry Half-time at The Hawthorns sees Coventry City leading 2-0 over West Bromwich Albion. Ephron Mason-Clark and Jack Rudoni both found the net, benefiting from defensive lapses in the West Brom backline. Coventry have looked organised, while West Brom have struggled to gain a foothold, prompting some frustrated fans to depart early. Both sides will need to reassess their strategies moving into the second half. West Brom 0-2 Coventry The first half is winding down with Coventry City in control, leading Albion 2-0. The home side have struggled to create clear chances, with their fans becoming increasingly restless. Coventry City have now scored 68 league goals this season Coventry City made it back-to-back wins to strengthen their promotion hopes and push West Bromwich Albion deeper into relegation trouble. Frank Lampard's Championship leaders picked up where they left off in Monday's 3-1 win over second-placed Middlesbrough as they brushed the Baggies aside at The Hawthorns. Ephron Mason-Clark gave the Sky Blues an early lead with his seventh goal of the season before Jack Rudoni doubled the advantage with a superb long-range effort before the break. West Brom, who have not picked up three points in the league since 29 December, are yet to win under Eric Ramsay in his eight games leaving them just a point above the drop zone. Following goalless draws in their past two league games, Albion have now failed to score in four Championship matches and picked up just three points since the turn of the year. Milan van Ewijk signed a new deal at the CBS Arena this week and he celebrated by laying on the opener for Mason-Clark after Frank Onyeka won possession. Van Ewijk fed the striker and he lobbed despairing Baggies goalkeeper Max O'Leary. It was all Coventry and Joel Latibeaudiere went close to a second when he headed against the crossbar. It was just a temporary let-off for West Brom and Coventry doubled their lead when they turned over possession and Rudoni was allowed far too much time and space before he let fly from 25 yards out with a left-foot rocket to score his first goal in 21 games. West Brom tried to respond and Charlie Taylor and Jayson Molumby went close, but they only registered their sole effort on target in the 79th minute through Isaac Price. Victor Torp squandered a great chance to make it 3-0 to Coventry in the closing stages and the final whistle was greeted with boos by the home fans.
