# 1994–95 West Bromwich Albion F.C. season

During the 1994–95 English football season, West Bromwich Albion F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

## Season summary

In the 1994–95 season, West Brom started the campaign very poorly with the Baggies winning just one in their first 11 league matches, leaving them bottom of the league and resulting in Burkinshaw being sacked as manager. Grimsby manager Alan Buckley took over the managerial vacancy and managed to keep them away from relegation.
