West Brom boss Carlos Corberan has sent a heartfelt message to the fans after their 4-1 triumph over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday (13 January).

The Baggies continued their stunning home form at The Hawthorns in convincing and dominant fashion as they blew away Championship strugglers Blackburn to consolidate their fifth-placed position in the table.

Two goals from Brandon Thomas-Asante, a goal from Tom Fellows and an own-goal ensured the Baggies picked up their first Championship win in 2024 and succumbed the away side to their fifth consecutive Championship defeat.

And Corberan, taking to his personal Twitter account (13 January) posted a message to his team and the West Brom fans following a resounding victory.

He posted: “Proud of them, pleased for you. First league win of 2024. Thank you again for your magnificent support.”

Comfortable

The Albion were rarely troubled all game against Blackburn as they continued their stunning home form in the Championship once again.

It’s now nine wins from their 14 games in Birmingham giving West Brom all the push they need to be strong contenders for a playoff place or more crucially, the third spot in the Barclays Premier League next season.

The win over Blackburn was as dominant as fans can get but also provided Corberan with a reminder that his team are no pushovers when they’re in this sort of mood. One which must continue as things heat up in the coming weeks.

West Brom are also boosted by the returns of the likes of Daryl Dike, Jed Wallace and John Swift from injury but to also see Thomas-Asante in and amongst the goals with some terrific finishing will have Corberan absolutely delighted right now.

A tremendous win which must now be followed up with a crucial away win at Norwich City next Saturday (20 January).

In other West Brom news, two senior players could be set for an exit from The Hawthorns in January, one other youth product attracting plenty of interest already.
