The errors will reduce

In the first half it was very much the Robins on top - but more because Albion gifted them chances rather than the home side cutting the Baggies open.

It wasn't all defensive errors - but errors in possession all over as the pace of the game slowed.

We're at a point now where we need to accept it, given the style is coming coming at Carlos Corberan's orders.

But the more things go on, the more they will reduce.

Flashes of Wallace - but something missing

In the first half what we saw from Jed Wallace was a similar display to that of Huddersfield.

However, we also saw flashes of what he can do.

He stayed very wide rather than going inside. He beat his man and almost set up a chance, and he linked well with Brandon Thomas-Asante to create a chance he really should of buried.

But he was lethargic aswell, and there is something just not 100 per cent there with Wallace's game at the moment.

Clean sheet is huge

The main feeling going home is disappointment given how sharp Albion were late on, and the penalty decision.

However, on the other side of things, the first clean sheet of the season is massive.

Given the frailties and the fact the defensive line has taken some stick this season, it is a huge confidence booster.

Maja and a front two

He hasn't appeared heavily in the previous games - but he really announced himself at Ashton Gate.

He came on in a front two, which helps, and he was dangerous.

His touch and link up play was superb, and he got in some great areas.

He was involved in a great chance and should really have had a penalty.

Not only now does he provide another option to BTA, but he provides the option to play as a front two.
