Carlos Corberán believes the Baggies will be coming up against the best-performing side in the Sky Bet Championship right now on Sunday afternoon (ko 3pm).
Visitors Sheffield United have made an eye-catching start to life back in the second tier and have won six of their last seven fixtures, losing just two league encounters in 2024/25.
Albion, who have also lost just twice, are unbeaten in ten, but, on the other hand, have won just one of their last 12 matches.
The boss admits he can understand fans’ frustration regarding recent draws, insisting “small details” can be improved in order to try and achieve maximum points in games.
A battle with the Blades is one of the “most difficult” challenges in the Championship according to the Spaniard, but Corberán says his players have the required “quality” to earn a welcome win if they're at the required level.
He said: “The points we are getting shows that we are competing in games. However, we want to win and the fact we aren’t getting three points shows we aren’t quite doing enough at this moment.
“We take responsibility and I take responsibility as the coach.
“It is always better to add one point than no points, but I understand the frustration that is around when you are not achieving wins.
“Small details can have a lot of impact on results in this league. The more small details that you can control gives you more opportunity to achieve the results that you want.
“It’s an equal competition where you need to give your best every time you step out on to the pitch.”
“Sheffield United are our opponents on Sunday and coming into this weekend, they sit at the top of the table and are in the best form.
“They’ve made a terrific start to the season and it’s going to be a very challenging game.
“They are a team who are not going to come here to defend. They will come here to attack and to try to win the game. They will defend when they have to defend, press when they can press and try and dominate the game with the ball.
“We are going to face the best team right now in the Championship. It’s one of the most difficult challenges in the Championship. Every game is a challenge in this division, but every challenge is different.
“We are never going to go into a game thinking about only getting one point. We go into every game trying our best to pick up three, and that’s exactly what we will be doing on Sunday in front of our fans.
“We have the players and we have the quality. We need to show that on Sunday.”
