West Brom: Carlos Corberan Explains the Basis for the Josh Maja v. Coventry City Decision
To the evident annoyance of their supporters, West Bromwich Albion has turned into a draw specialist in the Championship this season.
The Baggies are now at an alarming 11 draws in second-tier play from 20 games overall following Sunday’s 2-2 draw with fellow promotion contender Sheffield United. The West Midlands team is starting to fear that the accumulation of these near-misses might hinder their chances of winning.
When you take into account that Carlos Corberan’s team has only lost twice this season and that top-tier attacking players like Josh Maja and Karlan Grant are more than capable of scoring the goals required for a continuous promotion chase, these draws become easier to bear.
The attacking quality of West Brom
Prior to their current success, both players were probably written off in West Brom uniforms; Maja was prone to injuries during the previous campaign, and Grant was loaned to Cardiff City after seeing little action at the Hawthorns.
With 10 goals from 20 league games, Maja is in the double digits, while his 27-year-old teammate has five goals away from the former Sunderland star stealing the show, three of which have come in his team’s past six second-tier games.
In the end, Corberan will hope that his team wins more games as a result of these thrilling offensive performances because his team has yet to win in their past four games in the challenging division.
If he weren’t still injured, the Spaniard would want to use this alternative option up top to aid in their hunt, which has been a significant issue for the £7 million Baggies acquisition throughout his time thus far.
their prospects of being promoted.
