It was similar during the last home fixture on Easter Monday where lowly Derby ran out very comfortable 3-1 winners. It should not have been though.
That day there was a lot of emphasis on the Rams boosting their survival bid. Sorry Albion were licking their wounds from the Good Friday humiliation at Coventry but, as it transpired, there were still hopes of the top six on the line.
What played out, though, in what was to be Tony Mowbray's final fixture was worse than Coventry.
Those top-six hopes were faint against Derby - most fans had given up and it turned out so had the players - but this time for the 2024/25 swansong there is nothing on the line. Nothing but personal pride, anyway.
That is not the case for the visitors from Bedfordshire.
While Albion's form and momentum could hardly be worse, Matt Bloomfield's visitors have found some inspired form just in the nick of time to provide real hope they will be playing Championship football once again next year.
