West Brom head coach Eric Ramsay says he cannot become fixated on league position when preparing for Championship games.
West Bromwich Albion cannot become fixated on their position in the Championship table, according to head coach Eric Ramsay.
The Baggies go into Saturday's match at home to Stoke City (15:01 GMT) in the relegation zone after failing to win any of Ramsay's four league games in charge, losing three of them.
"That is something that I'll always keep at bay. The state of the table is meaningless to me from the perspective of the messages I give to the players and the way in which we prepare for an individual game," he told BBC Radio WM.
"You have to have that laser focus on the day-to-day because otherwise the whole situation starts to feel too heavy."
West Brom have announced former managing director Mark Miles has returned to the club as executive director, following confirmation of sporting director Andrew Nestor's departure from The Hawthorns.
But Ramsay says he has not had time to think about what those changes will mean to the team in the long term.
"It wasn't something I'd anticipated coming so soon but not something I've been able to give loads of thought to," he said
"Once there is time to breathe maybe it's something I'll be able to reflect on."
