Ally McCoist has commented on West Bromwich Albion’s troubles, as the Baggies continue to battle relegation despite starting the season with Championship play-off hopes.

Eric Ramsay has failed to win a game since replacing the sacked Ryan Mason in the Hawthorns dugout, and Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Stoke City extended the Black Country club’s winless streak to seven league games.

Albion will make the short trip to Birmingham City on Tuesday night looking for their first win since a 2-1 success over Queens Park Rangers on December 29.

Winning at St Andrew’s is easier said than done, as the Blues are on a seven-game unbeaten streak, including a 2-1 triumph over Leicester City on Saturday.

Ally McCoist left in shock over the alarming West Brom form.

West Brom have high-quality players in their side, like Isaac Price and Callum Styles, but they are only one point above the Championship relegation zone heading into their visit to Birmingham.

Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast on Tuesday morning, former Rangers great Ally McCoist said: “I cannot believe what is going on at the Baggies right now.” “Dear me.

Meanwhile, Ramsay’s poor start to his term could worsen, with Birmingham only two points off the play-off places as they compete for straight promotions from League One to the Premier League.

The Blues also massively boosted their roster during the winter transfer window, adding defenders Jonathan Panzo and Kai Wagner, as well as strikers Ibrahim Osmen and Carlos Vicente.

Eric Ramsay’s position at West Brom may already be in danger if the club suffers additional defeat.

Mason was sacked by West Brom after a run of ten straight away defeats in the Championship.

The Baggies’ poor league form on the road came to an end in Ramsay’s first away game in charge, a 1-1 draw against Derby County on January 23, thanks to Chris Mepham’s 95th-minute equaliser.

However, the 33-year-old’s stint began with a late 3-2 loss to Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns, followed by a 5-0 humiliation at home to Norwich City.

West Brom were unable to capitalise on their stoppage-time draw at Derby, losing 3-0 at Portsmouth before failing to win against Stoke.

If the Baggies lose against Birmingham, Ramsay’s winless streak will stretch to six games, adding a fourth defeat to his Championship management record.

Acquiring the 33-year-old from Minnesota United always seemed like a risk for the Hawthorns outfit, especially since Wilfried Nancy failed at Celtic after joining the Scottish Premiership giants from Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew.

Perhaps Ramsay has not yet had time to instill his own ideas and techniques at West Brom, but the club’s Championship status is jeopardised if they continue to lose games.

Albion will get some relief from their second-tier woes when they go to Norwich in the FA Cup on Saturday, but an impending league match against automatic promotion candidates Coventry City could cause problems for their new manager.
