West Brom’s Conor Townsend: We went away from what we’re good at

West Bromwich Albion defender Conor Townsend urged his side to refocus after a 1-0 defeat to rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Fer Lopez scored the winning goal following a Nat Phillips error as James Morrison's side struggled to execute their possession-based style. Wolves claimed consecutive wins against Albion for the first time in 30 years.

Townsend called the performance Albion's poorest of the season, noting that goalkeeper Max O'Leary prevented further goals with crucial saves. The 33-year-old left-back defended Phillips, insisting mistakes come with their tactical approach and calling for squad unity ahead of the international break.
