Former West Bromwich Albion defender Kyle Bartley has called for Baggies fans to get behind their team when they host league leaders Coventry City on Saturday (12:30 GMT) in their fight against relegation.
Albion are currently two points above the drop zone and have not won a Championship game in 2026 so far.
But the 34-year-old believes the home stands can help change the tide for the struggling side.
"I would urge every single West Brom fan, for these next two home games, to get behind the team," Bartley told BBC Radio WM.
"From a player's perspective, and being in that situation, the fans can have a real effect on the team and on individuals.
"Just try and stick behind the team. If we can get to the end of the season and stay in the Championship, the recruitment process in the summer will look a lot different from what it has done in the past two years."
