Boss saw the ‘right mentality’
HEAD coach Carlos Corberan expressed his delight after seeing Albion come from behind to thump Huddersfield.
It was not plain sailing for the visitors and Corberan acknowledged: “We knew today was important and that it was going to be a tough game.
“In one week, we’ve had three games and two away. Playing away is tough, especially when you play against a team that are fighting to survive.
“I like the fact I saw the right mentality of my team, especially in the second half.
“It was important after the first half to understand the type of game we were playing.
“In the second half, we wanted to move fast from their press in our pitch and tried to launch attacks in their half.
“Sometimes it takes us some time to understand the game, but I think the players in the second half
had the right character and understanding to win the three points.
“What’s important is we’re starting to find the right stability because we’re having a lot of mistakes but what’s important is how you stop it after.”
Huddersfield remain entrenched in the relegation zone as they were punished for letting their first-half advantage slip.
“Their first two goals were really unlucky, and this changed the game,” said boss Andre Breitenreiter.
“We were fantastic in the first half and controlled the game; we wanted to play the same style in the second half.
“We should score again after the equaliser and we had a big chance, but that was the difference – they scored from 30 metres and we didn’t from ten.
“West Brom were good in the second half and we have to congratulate them.’’
