West Bromwich Albion's Transfer Window Hopes Hinge on Morrison's Next Move
West Bromwich Albion's 4-1 win over Bromley in pre-season has given fans hope for a successful transfer window, but James Morrison must prioritize adding a missing piece in attack this summer. The Baggies are now returning to England ahead of playing Shrewsbury and Peterborough.
What happened?
West Bromwich Albion beat Bromley 4-1 in Albufeira on Friday to conclude their pre-season training in Portugal on a high. Jimmy-Jay Morgan, Aune Heggebo, Jack Bray, and Barney Stewart were all on target to secure Albion's victory in front of hundreds of fans who travelled to Portugal. Victor Adeboyejo's first-half penalty proved no more than a consolation for Bromley, who kick-off their first ever season in League One against Barnsley next month.
Why it matters for West Bromwich Albion
For many West Brom fans, Friday's win was the first time they got to see how Morrison set up his side after a period of intense training and preparation. And while many were impressed by what they saw on the pitch, West Brom News has gathered three things supporters might have missed from the victory in Portugal.
What comes next?
Next up for the Baggies is a trip to Shrewsbury on Saturday, before heading to Peterborough on 1 August. Albion's season officially begins on 8 August when they take on Rotherham in the Carabao Cup, before they kick off their Championship campaign against Huddersfield Town on 12 August.
