West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberan believes that the key to turning around the team’s recent winless streak is to simply improve their performance on the field. Despite being at the top of the table just a month ago, the Baggies have now slipped down to fifth place after earning only two points out of a possible 12 in their last four games.
Corberan remains focused on making his team more competitive and efficient, even though they are currently experiencing their worst run in terms of points since he took charge almost two years ago. He acknowledges that winning games brings happiness but stresses that the main goal is to do things better overall.
The recent downturn in form began after a promising victory against Portsmouth and a win over Plymouth, followed by losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough, as well as a draw against Millwall and another late equaliser conceded at Oxford. This marks the third time under Corberan’s leadership that West Brom have gone four league games without a win.
Despite the challenges, Corberan sees each game as a learning opportunity and emphasizes the need to adapt to different opponents and situations. He points out specific areas where the team needs to improve, such as stopping the opposition’s press, creating more chances in the final third, breaking down defensive structures, and being more clinical in front of goal.
One glaring mistake that Corberan highlighted was West Brom’s inability to manage the game effectively, as evidenced by the wasted throw-in that led to Oxford’s equalizing goal. Moving forward, the focus will be on correcting these errors and executing more effectively to get back to winning ways.
As West Brom prepare to face Blackburn Rovers next, Corberan and his team are determined to put their recent struggles behind them and show their true potential on the pitch. By learning from their mistakes and making the necessary adjustments, they hope to regain their winning form and climb back up the Championship table.
