Carlos Corberan ponders West Brom changes

Corberan named a new-look midfield at Hillsborough, including a full debut for Ousmane Diakite, who struggled. Alex Mowatt and Jayson Molumby were unable to start due to injury.

“We need to analyse how the players are, analyse the opponent and analyse what I want to do with them,” Corberan said. “It is a good game to prepare. We have two days to prepare and we need to do it with a lot of detail. From a physical perspective everyone is fine.

“We know Molumby and Mowey were not ready to start the game – or I should not have forced them to start the game. We have a squad with many players, it is important we all grow the same and together. Let’s see how we can prepare.”

Molumby has spent a short period on the sidelines with a calf concern but was well enough to be a substitute on Saturday, albeit he remained unused.

Mowatt was sent on at half-time for Diakite and helped swing the contest in Albion’s favour, going on to net what would look like earning his side a point prior to Wednesday’s quick-fire winner.

Albion had begun the season with an unchanged starting XI for five games and were the final club in the top four divisions to make alterations this term.

Corberan also has several other summer recruits pushing for a first start and more involvement, including left-back Gianluca Frabotta, fellow defender Mason Holgate and attackers Mikey Johnston and Lewis Dobbin.

Grady Diangana has impressed with cameos and is likely to get a look in, with captain Jed Wallace also pushing.
