On the pitch, the Baggies made the perfect start to the season on Saturday, winning 3-1 away against Queens Park Rangers thanks to a hat-trick from Josh Maja.
Talking after the game, Carlos Corberan hailed Maja but admitted that the Baggies will have to manage his game time after his recent injury problems. “We are always very happy when we see one player, who has suffered a lot, come back to the pitch and for me every player on the pitch needs to play with the maximum concentration to help the team and have a contribution on the result we want to achieve.
