Zoltan Gera missed a late penalty as honours finished even in a pulsating 155th Black Country derby. The day saw Albion show their support for two vital campaigns: Stand Up for the Black Country (Black Country Consortium's bid to bag £50million worth of Lottery money for the region) and White Ribbon Day (international day to end violence against women). Ishmael Miller was also presented with his BRMB/Sunday Mercury/West Bromwich Building Society Midlands Player-of-the-Month Award for October before kick-off.
