West Brom’s Corberan Addresses Goal Drought Ahead of Burnley Clash

West Bromwich Albion is scheduled to host Burnley, currently in fourth place and three positions above them in the Championship table, on Thursday night. Despite the typical home advantage, the Baggies have encountered difficulties at The Hawthorns. Albion has recorded the joint-lowest number of home goals across the EFL this season, alongside League Two’s Tranmere Rovers, having found the net only twice. Their last home goal was scored on 21 September against Plymouth Argyle. Head coach Carlos Corberan discussed the team’s scoring challenges with BBC Radio WM, stating, “In past years we have had more goals than we have now.” He emphasized a focus on the present and future, adding, “You cannot worry about what has gone. There are so many things we can do. How we defend and how we attack. But we just need to concentrate on the things that affect us.” Corberan acknowledged Burnley as “one of the strongest squads in the Championship,” but also expressed his belief that winning matches requires more than just footballing ability. He elaborated, “The good thing in football is that every game is demanding – a mental challenge. You win with experience but you also win with emotion.”
