Manchester City loanee Tosin Adarabioyo made his sixth Championship start as West Bromwich Albion lost 1-0 to Hull City on Saturday.
A few weeks ago, West Bromwich Albion were enjoying an almost unstoppable march up the Championship table with top spot in their sights. But, for the first time under the stewardship of club legend Darren Moore, the wheels appear to be wobbling.
A 1-0 defeat at struggling Hull City on Saturday means The Baggies have failed to win any of their last four games, drawing one and losing three. And while Moore was a strong and committed centre-half in his playing days, the 44-year-old is yet to prove in his burgeoning managerial career that he can organise a back-line effectively.
West Brom have conceded 24 goals in 16 games so far – a record which doesn’t reflect well on the likes of Tosin Adarabioyo.
The highly-rated 21-year-old is on loan at The Hawthorns from Manchester City and made his sixth Championship start for the Midlands club away at the KCOM Stadium, losing 1-0 thanks to a Fraizer Campbell strike.
Adarabioyo took to Twitter after the game, suggesting this latest defeat was something of a learning curve. And, clearly, the West Brom fans believe the England U21 international, and the team as a whole, needs to get better and fast.
