Mowbray was quite clear in his media unveiling on Monday, as well as in the wake of Tuesday's defeat at Middlesbrough, that he sees Albion's productivity lacking in the final third.

Albion signed midfielder Isaac Price for £2.5million this week and are in the January market for a striker. A permanent move for Ipswich Ali Al Hamadi broke down following a medical this week and the position remains the club's main focus in the window. Mowbray stressed his focus must be on the tools at his disposal.
