Tony Mowbray demands West Brom answers as Albion suffer play-off set-back

Championship promotion hopefuls West Brom were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Hull at The Hawthorns

West Brom's head coach Tony Mowbray has demanded his team be more ruthless after Albion dropped points in their 1-1 Championship draw at home to Hull.

Isaac Price netted his first goal in English football with a 68th-minute volley, but Hull's Abu Kamara levelled the score in the 80th minute, resulting in the Baggies' 18th draw of the season – the highest among all teams across the top six tiers.

The visitors were then denied three times by Joe Wildsmith but Mowbray preferred to focus on his own team's missed opportunities:

"I'm left frustrated and disappointed," he admitted. "Did they deserve a draw? Maybe from what they did late on, but we have to be more ruthless and have more end product.

"We had 16 shots but only three on target. From that amount of shots we have to hit the target seven or eight times, not three.

"I was frustrated that we were not two or three goals up because at 1-0 you're always susceptible to conceding one to a bit of quality.

"We should have scored more in the first half – you can't have 60 to 70 per cent possession and not have enough shots or work the goalkeeper for the positions we got into. We have to find the answers to that.

"Our keeper made saves late on but it felt like we were the dominant force, yet we have to be more clinical."

Former Standard Liege player Price's volley from just outside the box put the home team in the lead, following Charlie Hughes' clearance of Mikey Johnston's corner.

"It wasn't one of those aesthetically pleasing volleys, it was a straight shot really, and then the one after that (which went wide) was very similar," Mowbray commented, adding, "I wish he'd have had the same technique for the second one.

"Isaac is disappointed at the [Hull] goal we lost because it went over his head," Mowbray added. "I said to him that maybe he's got to move his feet quicker and flick it away for a corner.

"You can't let it go over your head and allow someone to head it across the box. That's his job, that's his position today, but he's not a right-back."

Wildsmith managed to keep out Joe Gelhardt's shot, substitute Lincoln Henrique's angled follow-up and then thwarted Kamara in a one on one.
