Lewis Cox's West Brom analysis: Glaring shortcoming new boss must address

Saturday's 1-1 draw at Swansea followed another negative trend of the season - the shipping of a late goal on the road.

This felt very familiar. Like Oxford before it way back in October. There was Sheffield Wednesday before that, where a last-gasp goal meant defeat. Preston's Deepdale is a more recent example.

Albion have not shaken game management issues that continue to linger.

A record of 13 draws from 26 Championship fixtures so far this season has been painfully restrictive and have kept the Baggies trailing the top three or four sides in this division.

Albion's defeats record - just four - is as good as Sheffield United and Sunderland's above them. Their record of wins - just nine - trails behind.

This latest draw, in south Wales, was perhaps one of the most painful yet. Perhaps because it seemed that life after Carlos Corberan, under the caretaker trio of Chris Brunt, Damia Abella and Boaz Myhill, had brought a more purposeful style of attacking intent?

But while it was a very open clash between two tired teams in the first half, there was no signs of the shackles coming off after Tom Fellows' 66th-minute opener.

Fellows could have bagged a second to kill the game but Swansea had most of the ball after the opening goal and Albion dropped off. That might have been natural from the players, or it might have been under instruction.
