Baggies fail to make possession count in derby defeat
ALBION Under-18s suffered a 4-0 Black Country derby defeat by Wolves on Saturday.
The Baggies found themselves 1-0 down at the break and, despite having the lion’s share of possession, fell two behind just after the hour-mark before allowing Wanderers to cruise to victory.
Lead professional development coach James Shan said: “We passed the ball well and were relatively creative during the first hour – but we failed to convert any of our chances.
“The second goal was a turning point, as we collapsed after that.
“We conceded some sloppy goals and I was disappointed in our inability to compete in the final 30 minutes.
“Wolves deserved to win.”
ALBION (4-3-3): Palmer; Ezewelle, Howkins, Greenidge, Hallaghan; S Nabi, Hayes (Pace 70), Cleet; Barrow, Oldnall (Leko 60), Campbell. Subs not used: Buchannon, Viakla, Wright.
