Carlos Corberan delighted with specific West Brom threat
Albion haven’t been as prolific at set-pieces as they would have liked this season but Carlos Corberan is happy to see his side taking advantage of dead-ball situations.
At one point it seemed like they had lost any sort of threat from corners and free-kicks but Cedric Kipre lashed home at Plymouth and Darnell Furlong’s key header at Hull rescued a point for the Baggies.
Boss Corberan revealed he has talked to his players about the need to improve and capitalise on the volume of set pieces they have.
But he insisted he won’t rest and wants his side to continue to be dangerous and keep using dead-ball situations to give his side an edge in games.
He said: “Everything helps. First of all as a team we are aware we need to improve in this situation in two parts, we don’t concede transitions and we create chances to score. Normally in the way we attack, we have players in the final third and we normally have a lot of set-piece situations.
“So it is important we use them in the same way that we use transitions, we need to use attacks and keep using set-pieces in attack.”
Furlong had also gone close with a header before his equaliser at Hull and his long throw continues to be another string to Albion’s bow when it comes to loading the box.
“We have been disappointed,” added Corberan.
“We were working and talking with the players because it was something we had to improve on as a team.
“We need to keep working on timing of runs, skill of deliver, quality of cross and quality of headers.”
