Mikey Johnston and two new signings: Three West Brom players who have it all to prove this season

Mikey Johnston is one of three players who will still need to prove themselves to James Morrison at West Brom.

The Baggies have started the Championship season in fine form, putting up promotion sealing results so far.

However, it will not be lost on anyone that we are still just seven games into a very long season.

And lots could still change before matchweek 46.

For Morrison's squad, there have been plenty of top performers, and while some may have impressed, others still need to prove themselves.

Here are the three standout picks that must begin stepping up for the Baggies in the coming weeks and months.

The West Brom challenge Barney Stewart must overcome

Barney Stewart has not had much of a chance at West Brom so far with Aune Heggebo and Jimmy-Jay Morgan ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Scottish striker is awaiting his first goal for the Baggies and he needs to prove himself as quickly as possible to try push his way in.

At the moment, the likelihood of starting games for the Hawthorns outfit looks incredibly slim.

Stewart needs to prove he is ready to have an impact on the Championship level or his time in B71 will ultimately be a difficult period for him.

There is lots of work for the striker yet at West Brom.

Why Mikey Johnston has something different to prove at West Brom

Johnston needs to prove himself in a different way to others.

West Brom fans already know what he brings to the table, with his pace and dribbling a key trait of his.

However, after sustaining a long-term injury, Johnston has struggled to make his return so far, and there may be concerns over what type of player comes back.

Johnston has recently faced an injury setback at West Brom, keeping him out for an extended period as well.

So, when he does finally return, the Irish international will have to prove that he is still the same player that Baggies fans have come to know.

Brayann Pereira faces a defining West Brom test

With Nolan Galves out injured, Brayann Pereira has an exceptional chance to stake a claim as a West Brom regular.

The right-back did not get off to the best of starts when he was sent off on his debut against Derby.

Pereira is now back available to face Wolves, but questions still remain as to whether Morrison will trust him in such a big clash.

Either way, whenever he gets minutes, he simply has to prove he can be West Brom's long-term right-back option.

He's been handed the perfect opportunity.
