Season summary

West Brom began the season slowly and manager Bryan Robson departed as manager in October by mutual consent. Under his successor, Tony Mowbray, West Brom were a permanent fixture in the top six from late December onwards and led the division briefly in February, but a run of four defeats in five games at home saw them fall out of contention for automatic promotion.{{Cite journal | access-date = 18 June 2009}} finishing fourth in the process. This was one place above Wolverhampton Wanderers, by virtue of a superior goal difference, but eight points behind Derby County.{{cite web | access-date = 7 December 2008 | archive-date = 29 May 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080529214227/http://www.soccerbase.com/league2.sd?competitionid=2&seasonid=136 | url-status = dead

In the play-off semi-finals, Albion faced local rivals and fifth-placed team Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning the first leg 3–2{{Cite news | access-date = 5 December 2008}} and the second 1–0 to progress 4–2 on aggregate.{{Cite news | access-date = 5 December 2008}} The second leg was the fifth meeting between the two sides during 2006–07, setting a new record for the most times that the Black Country derby has been contested in a single campaign, while West Brom's four wins against their rivals was also a season record for matches between the two.{{cite web | access-date = 5 December 2008 | archive-date = 16 April 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080416125632/http://www.soccerbase.com/head2.sd?team1id=2744&team2id=2848&x=14&y=5 | url-status = dead
