Dobbin, 21, has had to be patient for opportunities with the Championship side so far this season.
Corberan has said, as per a report by the Express & Star: “Dobbin is still a young player. But what I watched with Dobbin is that he is growing. The amount of minutes he is having right now is increasing. Why? Because I am seeing his level increasing too. In every training I am watching what they are doing, every time they are on the pitch I am watching what they are doing.”
He added: “Dobbin helped the team with this body contact, with space in behind, he feels comfortable. So depending on the needs you give more or less minutes. On how the player is using it you give more or less minutes. Now Dobbin has arrived to a time where he is more useful for us than in the beginning because even without minutes he has shown good growing.”
West Brom summer recruit assessed
West Brom brought in Dobbin to bolster their attacking department and give them more competition and depth on the wing.
The ex-England youth international has made 15 appearances in all competitions for the Baggies in this campaign, 14 of which have come in the league, and he hasn’t scored yet.

He is due to spend the whole of this term with the Baggies as Corberan’s men look to get into the play-offs.
Dobbin rose up through the academy ranks at Everton and was a regular for the Premier League side at various different youth levels.
He was loaned out to Derby County a couple of years ago to get some experience under his belt in the Football League.
The Stoke-born man went on to play 20 times for the Toffees’ first-team in the end, chipping in with a single goal.
Aston Villa then lured him away from Goodison Park in June before he was given the green light to link up with West Brom on a temporary basis.
What now?
Dobbin’s move to the Baggies hasn’t worked out just yet.
He will be looking to hit form over the coming weeks as they look to start winning more games.
