Small pickings for Robson and Souness

West Brom 0 Newcastle 0

Despite a third successive draw, and the first point Albion have gained under Robson at The Hawthorns since his arrival in mid-November, the Baggies remain rooted to the foot of the Premiership, five points adrift of safety.

Souness, with his side shorn of three world-class strikers through injury, will perhaps be the more relieved to have gained this point.
