They need to be careful” – Oxford United sent warning over West Brom forward
The Baggies have failed to win their last two Championship games after last weekend’s draw at Millwall, with a more consistent string of positive results required to keep the Black Country outfit in the top six mix.
It hasn’t been plain sailing for Tony Mowbray since taking the West Brom hotseat, with the 61-year-old losing as many games in his opening six matches in charge than Carlos Corberan did throughout the whole of this season he was in charge for – highlighting the struggles the first team squad are having in transitioning to a new style of play.
Frustration has brewed among the Albion faithful over an untimely dip in form, and all the pressure will be on the hosts to earn three points against a team they are expected to have the majority of the ball against.
West Brom remain sixth and a point clear of the play-off chasing pack heading into the weekend, and will be hopeful of victory against an Oxford side who haven’t tasted victory in five league games.
