Six Albion players featured away from The Hawthorns over the first weekend in February.
Towering defender Caleb Taylor made his debut for Bolton Wanderers who drew 1-1 at home to Barnsley, with left-back Zac Ashworth bagging the equaliser at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Both Baggies started on Saturday afternoon, with Ashworth completing the whole game and Taylor getting through 68 minutes before being replaced by Calvin Ramsay.
Devante Cole put the visitors into an early lead, but Zac’s powerful back-post header in the middle of the second period earned his side a share of the spoils.
The result leaves Wanderers third in Sky Bet League One, one point behind second-placed Derby County.
There was another debut for another centre-back this weekend. Aaron Harper-Bailey came on in the 34th minute of Kidderminster Harriers’ thrilling 3-2 victory at home to Oxford City in the Vanarama National League.
The Albion man started on the bench at Aggborough but was on to replace Matt Preston before the break.
Oxford City were 2-0 up at the interval thanks to Josh Parker’s brace, But Kiddy hit back to claim three huge points courtesy of efforts from Amari Morgan-Smith, Jack Lambert and Gold Omotayo.
The victory was their fourth on the bounce in the National League, and one which means only goal difference is now keeping them in the bottom four of the division.
