Grady Diangana and Alex Mowatt of West Brom were able to duplicate and even outperform their individual performances against Millwall last Saturday as they aided Albion to a sizable victory over Preston North End at Deepdale. Carlos Corberan was impressed. In the resounding victory, which the scoreline in no way favored the Baggies, Mowatt scored the second of their four goals.
Mowatt and Diangana both received their first starts of the year in Albion’s goalless draw with the Lions last week. Despite Albion’s inability to capitalize on their dominance that day, the duo were among the best players, with Mowatt widely regarded as the team’s best player.

Since Albion’s roster will be put to the test once more in the coming week, Corberan is now able to change up the personnel to aid with the demanding match calendar, as opposed to previous year when Albion had players they could not live without.

The same applies to Mowatt. When players demonstrate that they play a significant role for the team, they deserve to play. It’s critical that they maintain their consistency.
“I was aware that I had been analyzing Mowatt and Kipre’s performance levels during the previous year, and we had thought that they were two players who could improve the team’s performance. Mowatt is a special player in my eyes who possesses some unique skills. He has put in a lot of effort to develop as a player and is still a player with more to offer.
