West Brom's 'mid table' goal scoring statistic with Tony Mowbray & Carlos Corberan comparison

And one alarming goal statistic doesn't leave them fighting for a place in the play-offs, it very much leaves them in mid table.

Saturday's defeat to Sunderland, where Albion passed up good chances and went on to lose the game, has been something seen too often by the supporters this season.

It is arguably the main reason why they are not sitting in the top six, having done so pretty much all season.

And it could well be the reason why they miss out on the end of season play-off lottery.

But breaking down the statistic shows the picture of Albion's lack of goals.

Mid table

Albion are currently seventh, having only scored 48 times in 40 games this season.

It is a low statistic.

The fact they are still seventh is owed to other sides dropping points, and also a decent defensive record.

Overall, their record gives them an average of scoring 1.2 goals per game. 

That statistic very much leaves them in mid table in the division - alongside play-off rivals Watford.

They are still in the hunt and have a very decent defensive record.

Blackburn, who have dropped out of the race now are the only side around Albion who have been in that top six hunt who have a worse record.

Mowbray v Corberan

There has been much debate over recent days about Albion under Carlos Corberan and Albion under Tony Mowbray.

At the end of the Spaniard's time in charge, a lot of the talk was over a boring style of football amid a long run of draws.

With Mowbray, from the start he has said he will take the handbrake off, and to the eye it is clear to see Albion are more offensive in their play.

But how do the statistics rank?

Under Corberan this season, Albion played 22 times and scored 26 goals. That was an average of less than a goal a game. It was at 0.84 per game.

Are they more threatening under Mowbray? Well, yes, but marginally.

15 goals in 13 games under Mowbray sees the current Baggies boss with an average of 0.86 goals per game.

It is a slightly higher average, but overall in terms of goals scored there is not a great deal of difference.
