Mowbray and Corberan on 'opposite sides of spectrum'

West Bromwich Albion winger Jed Wallace says life since new boss Tony Mowbray took charge is "completely different" compared to under Carlos Corberan.

The Spaniard left Albion in December to take over at hometown club Valencia after two years with the West Midlands side.

The Baggies then reappointed Mowbray, who re-joined the club after he was forced to depart Birmingham City due to health concerns in February 2023.

"When I think of West Brom getting into the play-offs with Carlos, I would think something like 18 clean sheets and probably between 12 and 15 wins by one goal and getting 1-0 up and being really, really hard to beat. That was our strength as a team," Wallace told the 72+ podcast.

"I think now, if we are going to get in the play-offs this year, it's going to look like Adam Armstrong getting seven or eight goals between now until the end of the season and us blowing teams away, potentially at home, but also us letting a few in at the other end."

But Corberan and Mowbray's differences aren't just related to the performances on the pitch.

"Carlos is very stand-offish and you dread getting called up to the managers office, it's like getting called up to the headteachers office," Wallace added.

"Whereas the gaffer might call you up and he just wants to catch up and have a cup of tea. See how you're feeling, why you didn't play well on the weekend, how's the mood in the camp - so it's been, to be honest, complete opposite ends of the spectrum."
