The Baggies delivered a long-awaited first clean sheet since Carlos Corberan's final game in charge - 13 matches earlier - in Saturday's 2-0 win over Oxford.

Mowbray said the previous week he felt a first clean sheet under his management was around the corner and believed his side would be bolstered by Kyle Bartley's return from suspension next weekend.

After keeping out the lowly Yellows at The Hawthorns, though, Mowbray revealed he told his players not to get caught up in limiting the opposition to no goals.
