West Brom debrief: An exciting first XI and upbeat mood as two Baggies make their point

Carlos Corberan's hosts led at The Hawthorns before two goals in as many minutes from the Blades turned the scoreline on its head. Tom Fellows struck with a deflected effort after the break to claim a draw - a 10th in the last 11 games - with a share of the spoils the least Albion deserved.

We look at some of the talking points in the latest Albion debrief.

Best XI’s first selection

Corberan went with a starting line-up that satisfied pretty much every Albion onlooker. It was an attack-minded 4-4-2 against the high-flyers and, interestingly, the first time that XI has been named this season.

Corberan's availability has chopped and changed this season. Albion started in a winning first month with an identical line-up, it had Semi Ajayi - now injured - in the backline and no room for winger Mikey Johnson.

But, after a month or two of injuries in the defence and experimental rotation in midfield, Corberan may have found what many Baggies supporters, and perhaps even he, considers his best side at the moment.

That XI certainly put in a vibrant performance against the Blades. They were busy, full of attacking intent and showed quality and composure in all positions.

The remaining issue, as has been all season, is input from outside of the line-up off the bench has been barely existent. Most will want to see that same starting line-up from the off against Coventry on Wednesday and hopefully it is, but the same 11 will not be physically capable of being flogged game after game. So others will be needed.

Upbeat after latest draw

The mood was low after Preston the previous week, arguably as low as it has been in Corberan's reign of more than two years.

But Sunday was as well as Albion have played over the best part of 90 minutes for some time, against strong opposition too - albeit strong opposition generally suits Corberan's Albion.

Most importantly it was packed full of attacking intent and a desire to go for it from the off and not just be satisfied there.

The Baggies were fuelled by injustice at half-time as they trailed despite a dominant 30 minutes, but in their credit they went for it again in the second period.

It earned another draw. But a satisfying one.

Molumby significance

The Republic of Ireland midfielder was back in the starting XI after groin pain and returned in style.

It has been a frustrating stop-start to the campaign for the 25-year-old bundle of energy. That was just a 12th start of 19 Championship games. Now it feels Molumby has arrived.

He sets the tone for Albion. His energy with and without the ball is relentless and he never shies away. He is among the most important members of the side.

Styles breath of fresh air

Few have caught the eye in recent weeks as much as Callum Styles, who appears to have made the left-back role his own.

It is great to see. Styles is an intriguing prospect. A summer signing, a great age to develop at 24 and on a long-term deal. He was hailed as a Jack of all trades-type player, but Corberan has made it clear he sees him at left-back.

What he does bring is a bundle of energy, excellent technique and a desire to attack. He is quickly becoming a popular figure and could be key to a more offensive Albion.
