Albion’s Second Tier Season Comparison – 15 games | OneFootball

After eight matches without a victory, Carlos Corberán’s team finally secured three points at the MKM Stadium defeating Hull City 2-1 thanks to first half goals from Karlan Grant and Josh Maja. It means that the run of drawn games ended at a joint club record of six, but that the unbeaten record now extends to seven games, the best since the ten game run between February and April earlier this year

The result leaves the Baggies in fifth place ahead of the final international break of the autumn, a position that they have occupied for much of the last twelve months.

The Tigers’ goal is the ninth that Albion have conceded in fifteen league games this season, which is still a joint club record at this stage of the season – it matches the record set in 1905/06 and in 1948/49. Eight of those goals have been conceded on the road and that record after eight away games has only been bettered on eleven occasions, most recently in 2019/20 when Slaven Bilić’s team conceded only five goals in the first eight games away from the Hawthorns.

There were no new goalscorers for the Baggies meaning that their sixteen league goals this season have been scored by only four players, with Mowatt and Molumby being the other two. Mikey Johnston did record his first assist of the season becoming only the eighth Albion player to record a goal involvement in the Championship this season – Fellows, Račić and Furlong being the other players to have registered an assist.
