There were no goals and little quality play to cherish as West Brom marked their 100th Premiership match with a 0-0 draw at Charlton.
The corresponding fixture last season sparked the run which saw the Baggies escape relegation and it was perhaps been unrealistic to expect a repeat of that 4-1 away win.
West Brom's Geoff Horsfield and Charlton's Luke Young went closest to scoring in a sterile encounter.
