The Albion winger - speaking on behalf of Carlos Corberan who saw a late red card in the 2-1 defeat at Ewood Park - insists there is no blame attached to individuals by the boss or team-mates as the Baggies started with defeat on the road.

Corberan's visitors were undone by two poor goals in 60 seconds midway through the first half as young Rovers forwards Dilan Markanday and Harry Leonard struck after Albion errors, first through Conor Townsend and then Cedric Kipre's poor gaff seconds after the restart.

Albion will return straight to their training base in Walsall tomorrow morning as Corberan resumes his work for the new campaign. His side head to Stoke in the first round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday looking to recover from an opening defeat in Lancashire.

It remains to be clarified as to whether the Spanish head coach was shown two yellow cards or a straight red for apparent dissent at Ewood Park and whether that has an impact on a one or three-match ban for the boss.
