West Brom boss Eric Ramsay insists "there are no easy answers" to their plight after they lost 2-0 at home to Coventry to deepen their relegation woes.
The Baggies are just a point and a place above the bottom three and Ramsay is winless in his first eight games in charge.
West Brom fans booed at the end and Ramsay says there is no obvious way out.
He told BBC Radio WM: "There's no easy answer to our position and if there was an easy answer, someone would have arrived at it by now.
"We have to make sure we keep the approach, where we grind away, we don't get distracted, we make sure we push the messages we feel are important day to day and that the group responds to those.
"I was extremely disappointed with the manner of the goals and to come away with nothing, which in our situation is far from ideal and not what we would want in any way.
"I felt we started the game positively and aggressively, we connected with the crowd and there was real energy.
"Then we really let ourselves down after five or six minutes. Unfortunately another goal followed that quickly and we gave ourselves a mountain to climb."
