Six Baggies players featured for their loan clubs away from The Hawthorns over the weekend.
Giant defender Caleb Taylor had the most memorable matchday, scoring an injury-time winner for Wycombe Wanderers at home to Stevenage in Sky Bet League One.
The 22-year-old prodded in from close range after his initial effort had been blocked, sparking incredible scenes at Adams Park.
The 1-0 triumph for Taylor’s team leaves them one point and one place behind Wrexham in second in the third tier. There are four fixtures left to play for each team.
Taylor completed 90 minutes and was awarded Man of the Match on what was a special afternoon for the Albion academy graduate.

Two players earned senior minutes in the Vanarama National League.
Goalkeeper Ted Cann completed the entirety of Forest Green Rovers’ 3-2 home defeat to Gateshead.
The visitors scored at the very start and very end of the opening period – former Baggies forward Jovan Malcolm notching twice past his ex team-mate.
Liam Humbles then made it 3-0 just after the hour. Rovers pulled two back through a George Shelvey own goal and a Christian Doidge effort inside the final four minutes, but those goals proved to be in vain.
Cann’s team are third in the division, nine clear of Oldham in fourth and 11 behind York in second with four to play.
Elsewhere, striker Reyes Cleary completed 70 minutes for Hartlepool United who drew 1-1 at Dagenham and Redbridge.
The attacker was replaced by Luke Charman with Pools a goal up after Paul Kalambayi had put through his own net, but a man down as a result of Louis Stephenson picking up two first-half yellows.
Harry Phipps rescued a point for the hosts in the 87th minute. The draw leaves Reyes’ side 11th in the table.
Left-back Josh Shaw completed 90 minutes for Marine, helping them to a goalless draw at Chorley in the Vanarama National League North.
Marine sit 17th with just three matches left to be played.
Right-back Archie Kirton also got a whole game in for his loan club Stourbridge. They beat Leiston 2-0 at home in the Southern League Premier Central division thanks to efforts from Ethan Freemantle and Alex Bradley.
The Glassboys are tenth in the table and have three remaining battles in 2024/25.
In the same league, goalkeeper Ronnie Hollingshead kept a clean sheet for Alvechurch who drew 0-0 at Spalding United.
The Church are 13th and, like Stourbridge, have three games left.
