Tony Mowbray today hailed the desire that he believes can carry Albion back to the Premier League.
The Baggies manager called an on-the-field huddle after last night’s 1-1 draw at Charlton to demonstrate the unity at The Hawthorns.
And he insisted that morale remains as high as ever despite recent setbacks in the promotion race including a 4-1 defeat to Leicester last Saturday.
“I don’t think there are any cracks in our team,” said Mowbray.
“Sometimes results can damage morale and nobody enjoyed last weekend but I think people could see yesterday that the morale and belief is very much there among this group of players.
“The performance, the desire and the work ethic they put in was as good as it’s been all season.
“The huddle wasn’t pre-planned and we don’t generally do it, although occasionally the players will do one before a game.
“But I thought the supporters who travelled needed to see, after last week, that the team are very much together and fighting for the cause.
“I thought the performance showed that, but the unity of the group was something important to show to the supporters watching on TV or in the stand behind the goal.
“They saw that this group gave everything they’d got to try to get the results to get us out of this league.”
Leading scorer Kevin Phillips took his tally for the season to 21 when he grabbed Albion’s equaliser at The Valley yesterday.
But Mowbray is still not willing to guarantee the former England man a place in the starting line-up.
“We know the quality that Kevin possesses,” he said.
“Kevin is very respectful of the other players we’ve got.
“Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller have scored goals and I thought that Luke Moore was looking for an opportunity to get his tally going last weekend.”

Tony we want the desire to win not draw
lol he is doing it the mowbray way!!!
did any one else hear that popping sound from the valley…….it was definitely a bubble bursting
…..winning nowt the Mobray way…..come on you Wolves
We can hate each other through & through,but if the cockerknees, scousers, Mancs,Geordies or anyone else for that matter extract the proverbial, we’d unite as one & fight back to back.
I’m proud of my Black Country heritage & even more proud of the Staffordshire Regiment!
Don’t you just hate it when ignoramous’s call you a Brummie?
Tony! Surely from now on please pick your best winning team instead of trying to give all the top players a turn. We all wantyou to go up, this then will allow for injurys,But what-ever you do, we trust you. Best of luck to you and the team.
Doing 2 points out of 9 the mowbray way!Yes wolves are behind you in the league but who was saying they were up at xmas arrogant baggies! you better watch your back cause we are catching you, although today will be avery very difficult game at the mol. On a lighter note did everybody see wolves v albion got voted the best derby in the country credit to both clubs.
if wolves get a win today (very difficult) we will 3 points behind albion!

13,laughin,how do you know,have you bin on here all afternoon too,instead of going to the game boing boing
13 whats your point!!!
We drew away against a top team you drew at home to a team below yourselves..
We hit the bar in the last minute and your scored in injury time today and yet you say we where lucky.
I think you are getting a little carried away dont you with this cheerio gera phillips etc , Because trust me if your lot dont go up it will be goodbye keoh goodbye kightly and byebye hennesy the prem vultures are already scouting them that is a fact!
Dream on faggies!
Kites back for the albion game , let see who singing last … Mowbray aint got a clue when it comes to a team playing defensively … we will show you tescos how to beat charlton.. COME ON WOLVES …
HAH WBA ARE RUBBISH WBA ARE RUBBISH. CANT YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY TEAM IN THE FA CUP THAT HASNT ACTUALLY BEATEN A BETTER TEAM. YOU DONT DESERVE THE CUP OR PROMOTION. WHO ARE TOP OF THE FORM GUIDE? WOLVES ARE. WHO ARE 11TH YOU ARE.UP THE WOLVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT IF YOU LOT DONT GET PROMOTED THIS SEASON A MAJORITY OF YOUR PLAYERS WILL BE GETTING IMPATIENT AND JOINING A BETTER PREMIER LEAGUE SIDE LIKE THE WOLVES. ALSO THAT KEVIN PHILIPS IS OVERRATED. HE HAS SCORED 1 MORE GOAL THAN OUR SEB AND HE IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. SEB AND OTHER TOP STRIKERS NEVER GET MENTIONED. ALSO THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW WOLVES ARE TOP OF THE FORM GUIDE WBA ARE 11TH.
laughingwolf:
terrywembleybaggie post a lot of stuff on “OUR” page in the name of banter.But hey, what a funny guy!
Not only is he WBA’s fishing champ, but he’s trying his hand at darts ( well he’s trying to get 3 in a bed)& Olympic contender for the High Jump if ever his other half finds out what he’s been up to.
Now leave my mate Terry alone!
3) Yeah it was kiely treddin on the balloon that flew onto the pitch
he burst it because it was in the way
stupid dingles as always posting rediculous comments go back to your own page
13, Inbredwolf what are you going on about?
you might have desire but put simply..YOUR JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 5th place now and hanging on for a place off place, yes bring it on at molineux, and the 3 points should be good enough to take us above you.
SUPER MICK MCARTHY..THE SOUTHBANK..BARMY ARMY.
MAKIN’ THE PLAY OFF’S THE MCARTHY WAY..IN STYLE OF COURSE..OH YES!!!
7.You will get no points at the custard bowl when you come thats a cert,dream on.
lets hope your up for it as golden palace. Phillips and gera leaving, your right back hoefkins slating the club and the area in his native country, robinson seeking advice on how to pass a medical and get out, greening unable to get a haircut and terrible form and after a heavy defeat in the cup you may even finish 7th oh how hiliarious that would be 2 seasons of arrogance 2 seasons of failiure!!!
I bet you tony mowbray will not be at wba next feb he would of been sacked!
Has your Manager got a charisma bypass or what ?
he’s so depressing.The Grim Reaper has more personality.
28. MAD MICK IS A LAUGH A MINUTE!!
how can you say its a point gained IF you want to go up in style, as you lot keep banging on about? Surely a “quality” side like albion should be beating charlton 2/3 nil??you keep saying you the best team in the league, but you have not shown it CONSISTANTLY this season….it will go down to the wire, you watch
“The Mowbray Way” has far too soft an underbelly for my liking.
Skill and flair will only get you so far in this league, what we need now is grit and determination, which are qualities I haven’t seen up to yet.
We need the same attitude as when we went up the first time (We were 12 points behind a certain team, who was that?).
Forget the fancy football all that matters is winning now!
HEY!
I AM KENT WOLF’S NO1 FAN!
THE BLOKE IS A GENUIS!
GOING UP, THE McCARTHY WAY!
None of you Boggie div’s know how to spell your own managers name.. MOWBRAY, not Mowbury, not Mowbrey, get with it you bunch of thick sod’s, going up the MOWBRAY way eh? What like last year? Oh yeah, you didn’t go up.. silly me, you lost to Derby, who are the worst Premiership team, hmm what does that say about your team eh? Enjoy :-D
