West Brom two wins in last three but must tighten up at the back

A good bit of form but defence is still slipping.

00:00 Charlie, finally West Brom, you know, two wins from the last three.

00:03 It's looking more positive as the weeks go on in the Championship.

00:06 Obviously, touching on the away form, we've mentioned it multiple times,

00:10 it's not really up to full scratch, but if they do get the wins at home,

00:13 they can still start to build on that.

00:15 And obviously, your man Jeremy Sarmien to actually go on the score sheet as well against

00:19 Middlesbrough. What's it like for West Brom? The host Huddersfield next.

00:23 Surely, I'll look at that as another three points.

00:27 You think so. Last season, I remember they were really struggling towards the tail ends

00:31 away from home. And then a couple of successive one nils at home.

00:34 One of them was against Huddersfield. So maybe flashbacks to then.

00:37 But the problem is they need a one nil at the moment. They keep conceding goals,

00:41 even when they're winning. A three two against Swansea, a four two against Middlesbrough.

00:45 Plenty of excitement at the Hawthorns, but it's not what Carlos Corgram will want.

00:49 He's always been a manager to grind out the one nils, the two nils, the two ones.

00:53 Defensively, they've just been pretty appalling, to be honest, West Brom.

00:57 And against Burra, they only had four shots on target and they scored from all of them.

01:01 That's not going to happen every single week. In terms of shots,

01:04 Middlesbrough had far more in that game. It just ended up being more clinical from the baggies.

01:08 If there's a game where they're not so clinical in front of goal,

01:11 then they're definitely going to struggle even at home. So I think that needs to be the priority.

01:15 On Sarmiento, I did feel quite smug when I saw that goal go in after last week saying that he

01:20 is going to be a player that off the bench or starting games is going to have a big impact.

01:25 I think that's going to be the first of many for Sarmiento. The Ecuadorian, of course, from Brighton,

01:30 my club, I support. I know how much talent he's got and I think going forward,

01:34 he should be starting plenty of matches.
