Blackburn's defence of the FA Cup began on thr 16th January with a 4-1 home win over Derby County. The second round on January 30th saw them travel to West Bromwich Albion where they were defeated 3-1.
West Bromwich Albion thus took the baton off Blackburn Rovers. It was West Bromwich Albion's third stint in possession, becoming team 29 on our list.
The third round on February 13 had Albion drawn at home against The Wednesday, and the Throstles went through with a 2-1 win.

A third match, played at The Racecourse Ground, Derby on March 9th produced an emphatic 6-2 win for West Bromwich Albion
