Okay Yokuslu, one of Albion’s most impressive players this year, attributes a lot of the team’s success to the quality of the midfield alternatives available to the Baggies.
Carlos Corberan’s roster usually includes Yokuslu and Alex Mowatt, his regular midfield partner. The Turk has praised Mowatt but feels that having a variety of choices in the middle of the park is crucial.
Since Jayson Molumby sustained a foot injury that kept him out for several months, Nathaniel Chalobah has been the initial substitute, if either has been absent for the most of the season.
Following that injury, Yann M’Vila signed a contract with the team that would last until the conclusion of the season. Yokuslu stated of Mowatt, “He’s a very good player, a great player.”
When we play together as midfielders, it doesn’t matter who plays; we always know what to do because we have Chalobah and M’Vila.
It’s crucial to have these players.
In order to guarantee a spot in the Championship play-offs in May, Albion will now need to win nine crucial games, beginning on Saturday when Bristol City visits.
The match on Saturday against The Robins follows Albion’s victory against Huddersfield Town.
The Baggies scored four goals in the second half, including a thunderbolt from Yokuslu, after a subpar first half.
This kind of comeback, in the Turk’s opinion, is a huge confidence boost this time of year.
And he argues that Albion’s run-in has more to do with adopting the proper mindset than it does with tactical awareness.
He then on, “You need to have both, and this is what we did. Sometimes you work on all the tactical stuff, but if you don’t have the right mentality then you suffer.”
Since the Championship is, as you are aware, a lengthy event, it is crucial to return, particularly during this portion of the season.
Yes, it will improve confidence since every away game is difficult, especially against a team like Huddersfield who are a strong squad and battling for themselves.
“We couldn’t be happier, even though the first half was frustrating; it’s not easy to come back.”
Yokuslu thinks his rocket at Huddersfield will be a challenge. Recently, loanee Mikey Johnston has been having his own goal of the season competition, with outstanding strikes against Coventry, Plymouth, and QPR.
He added: “It doesn’t happen very often, but it is going to be up there!”
