Albion were knocked out of the FA Youth Cup by Derby County at the Amex tonight.
Simon Rusk's side were beaten 2-0 in an entertaining third round tie.
They were on top in the opening quarter of the contest but Derby gradually took command and outpowered them in the second half.
The visitors went through with goals by muscular Congolese centre-forward Offrande Zanzala (60) and Tom Mellors (66).
