Carlos Corberan heavily reliant on West Brom usual suspects amid Championship squad statistic
West Brom have struggled to really get going this season, with the Baggies winning just two of their eight Championship matches so far.
The Albion have also lost two of their eight games, having drawn the other four, with 12 goals scored and 11 conceded.
Up next for Carlos Corberan’s men is a very tough test against Preston North End, who currently sit third in the table and are unbeaten in their eight matches, with six wins and two draws.
There are undoubtedly several factors to the club’s difficult start, one of which may just be down to fatigue. As per Transfermarkt, West Brom have used 19 players this season, less than any other Championship club.
Injuries have certainly played their part, but the manager does have a squad of 26 to choose from this season (Transfermarkt), which is definitely not the lowest figure on the list.
Players such as John Swift and Brandon Thomas-Asante have done their best to step up, but perhaps a few of their teammates have been below par on too many occasions this season.
Alex Palmer has been utilised most often this season, followed by Jayson Molumby and Darnell Furlong, as per Transfermarkt.
Corberan will be desperate to have his full squad available as soon as possible, with striker Daryl Dike undoubtedly his main priority.
The USA ace has been sorely missed at The Hawthorns in recent times amid his achilles tendon injury. He banged in seven league goals last time out during his frustrating injury-hit campaign.
In other West Brom news, one player has backed up a Corberan decision with a 100% masterclass against Millwall.
