Theargus - Alireza Jahanbakhsh believes Albion will have “good days” when their new-look squad settles.
The Iran international was one of two debutants, along with Yves Bissouma, to come off the bench during the second half of the 2-0 defeat at Watford.
Bernardo started while Leon Balogun and David Button were on the bench.
Florin Andone and Martin Montoya are still not available after summer moves from Spain and Jose Izquierdo has also yet to get into the action.
Jahanbakhsh said: “Every team needs time to get used to each other.
“We have four or five new players, maybe more.
“Most of the guys who played (yesterday) had played together last year.
“Me and Bissou went on in the second half.
“But it is just the beginning of the season.
“I think there are going to be good days for us.
“We have quality players, a good manager and a good group.”
