Albion manager Tony Mowbray has challenged his side to recreate their best moments of the season and carve out a winning run to save themselves from relegation.

Mowbray’s men remain in touch with the teams above them, despite sitting at the foot of the Premier League table.

But the manager reckons they will need a run of consecutive wins to climb out of trouble.

They showed what was possible with three wins in four matches in September and October, also three straight home victories over Christmas and New Year.

Now Mowbray is looking for a similar run.

He said: “I don’t know how many points will be needed, but what I do know is we need to win some matches, because 22 points won’t keep us up.

“We know we can get to 30 points quickly. There have been a few times where we’ve won three out of four.

“We’ll have some opportunities to do that and we’ll have to do it. We’ll need to find that kind of run again so we get some momentum.”

The Baggies boss has taken inspiration from Fulham, despite losing to them last weekend.

He has been buoyed by encouraging words from Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson, who kept the West London club up from a seemingly impossible position last year.

Mowbray adds: “Roy was telling me on Sunday that they’d 15 points this time last year, yet they still managed to stay up.

“But you have to go on a run to do it. Time will tell whether we can do that.”

Mowbray is still waiting today for news on Paul Robinson, whose wife has yet to give birth to their third child.

The stand-in captain wants to be at the birth and would miss Saturday’s trip to Everton if she goes into labour on matchday.

The manager said: “I’m pretty open-minded on Robbo. It’s down to him and his wife as to whether they let things run their natural course.

“We’ll play it day-by-day with him.”
