West Brom goalkeeper Alex Palmer feels that the team’s potential for promotion has been somewhat overlooked due to the competitiveness of the Championship this season. Despite external skepticism, those within the club’s daily training environment are fully aware of the team’s capabilities.
The first third of the season indicates that West Brom is poised to be a formidable opponent until the campaign’s end. With just two losses in their last 11 matches since September, they are closely trailing the early leaders in the promotion race. Carlos Corberan has managed this success, even in the absence of key players who are set to return in the coming weeks, such as Josh Maja, John Swift, and Martin Kelly, with Daryl Dike and Adam Reach also making progress in training.
While external perspectives may downplay West Brom’s chances, there is a strong belief within the club in achieving their goals this season. Despite a recent unfortunate defeat at Southampton, the team remains confident and aims to maintain their competitive position in the league.
Palmer acknowledges the team’s positive start and emphasizes the need to continue grinding out wins and accumulating points. He notes the changing dynamics in football compared to the previous season and stresses the importance of staying focused on their own performance. Despite facing teams from higher divisions and the overall strength of the league this year, Palmer expresses confidence in West Brom’s ability to steadily compete and emphasizes the importance of concentrating on their own progress.
