Tom Fellows: Rising Star in the Championship

In the fast-paced world of the Championship, few players have made as significant an impact as Tom Fellows, a 21-year-old winger who is turning heads with his performances at West Bromwich Albion. This article explores Fellows' journey, his impressive stats, and the influence of his manager, Carlos Corberan.

A Stellar Start to the Season

Fellows has established himself as a standout performer early in the season. Having contributed four assists, he accounts for an impressive 40 percent of West Brom's league goals so far. His exceptional form has drawn the attention of the national selectors, leading to his first call-up to the England Under-21 team.

Debut and First Goal

Fellows made a memorable debut for the U21s, where he not only played but also scored his first goal in a dominant 4-1 victory over Austria. Reflecting on this experience, he stated, "I know the call came a bit late, but it was good just to even be drafted in and be in the camp with all those players." Learning from peers at a high competition level has immensely contributed to his development.

The Impact of Carlos Corberan

One of the pivotal factors behind Fellows’ rising success is his manager, Carlos Corberan. Corberan’s detail-oriented coaching style has facilitated significant growth in Fellows' game. "He gave me my opportunity, so obviously I'm really thankful for the chance to play and to prove I can perform at this level," says Fellows.

Emphasis on Development

Under Corberan's guidance, players are encouraged to absorb key details that enhance their performance on the pitch. Fellows commented, "It's a lot of detail and a lot of stuff to take in, but you get used to it after a little bit." This structured approach has propelled West Brom to the top of the Championship table.

Current Performance and Future Aspirations

As West Brom prepares for their upcoming match against Sheffield Wednesday, they sit at the top of the Championship standings with five wins and a draw in their first six matches. Building on last season's near-miss in the play-offs, Fellows emphasizes the importance of consistency. "The Championship is so tough and doesn't even really get going until probably around Christmas, but you've got to be in amongst it to have a chance," he reflects.

Aiming for Promotion

Fellows and his teammates are motivated by their previous play-off exit against Southampton and are determined to make this season count. "After coming so close last season, it definitely fuels you a bit to want to go that one step further. To get there at the club I've grown up in would really feel like the biggest achievement possible," he adds.

In Conclusion

Tom Fellows is certainly a player to watch in the coming weeks of the Championship. His early season form, coupled with the leadership of Carlos Corberan, positions West Brom for a potential promotion bid. As fans eagerly anticipate their next match, all eyes will be on Fellows to see if he can continue his impressive ascent.
