Graham Potter felt there were similarities from the pain he suffered from falling into a railing and Albion's defeat to bottom of the table Sheffield United.

Albion’s head coach came into his press conference on Thursday ahead of the defeat to the Blades with a shiner under his eye.

He revealed that he suffered the injury after tripping and falling into a railing while walking at the beach.

But after being beaten 1-0 at Bramall Lane, Potter was asked which hurt more the railing or the defeat.

To which he replied: “Well it is a different type of pain if I am be honest.

“The pain is obvious when you get smashed into a railing, but the pain tonight (Saturday) is also difficult because you are working away and it is a bit of a step back for us.

“But that is what we have to accept, be brave enough to accept that and then try to move forward.”
