Carlos Corberan, who maintains that Leeds is the sole rival, has directed his Albion team to concentrate and achieve their target.
Carlos Corberan has ordered focus among his Albion squad while insisting ‘the only competition is with ourselves’.
The Baggies entered the current international break in fifth, eight points clear of play-off-chasing rivals, with eight fixtures left this term.
Head coach Corberan insists the championship table does not post an accurate reflection of rivals boasting a game in hand. He has called on his troops to worry about their own performances in a bid to win as many of the remaining clashes as possible to reach the play-offs.
“In front of us, we are looking forward to facing the challenge—eight big games—and in these, we need to compete and win them to achieve what we want,” Corberan said. “It is very important for us to just focus on ourselves right now. That’s all. The competition is with ourselves; we know that the better we perform, the more options we have to win football games.
