Tony Mowbray gives West Brom form admission and talks selection changes

As far as manager Tony Mowbray is concerned they are in 'such a good position', but he admits that they have to start winning games to stay in the top six hunt.

Either side of Mowbray's reign and since Carlos Corberan's departure, Albion have won just three of their last eleven league games.

They have remained in the play-off spots in part, due to other sides dropping points, but Mowbray knows that has to change starting with Saturday as they welcome Oxford United.

He said: "We are in such a good position and we have to strive to win games to stay there.

"There are a lot of teams around us, every time you lose you can drop considerably in terms of places, but when you win they you could give yourself a little more space.

"We want to win on Saturday and keep progressing if we can." 

Mowbray first six games have seen the Baggies manager make a number of changes to his side, as he chops and changes while assessing the squad of players he has at his disposal.

But while he has explained how he is looking at the qualities of his players - much of his selection is down the opposition he is facing on any certain day.

He explained: "We play Leeds away next week, are we going to play the same team against Oxford at home to Leeds? Probably not.

"I am not sure we are the best team in the league where we don't have to be concerned about the other team and play the same team every week.

"When you go to a top team away from home who are going to be the better team, we will have to look at the team and put one out to stop Leeds and give them problems.

It is always a balance and that is why we are trying to see what we can get from players whose main asset is out of possession, and then players whose main asset is in possession.

"What can they do it with it, how consistent are they and it is a process we are going through."
