Roman Bednar was delighted for Luke Moore after his goal in West Brom's victory over Manchester City earlier this week.

Bednar said: "Everyone was pleased when Luke scored on Sunday because he does work hard in training and he scores some great goals in training but he just needed to play more games in a row.

"I really think in the future he will score more goals for West Brom because he is a good quality player. He just needed a break like everyone else at the moment. I was really glad for him.

"It was a good finish. He did really well. Sometimes when you have time like he had in that particular situation, you just do the first thing that is in your mind but that finish showed the quality of Luke. It was a good finish.

"It will give a big lift to his confidence to get that first goal."

Mowbray has often played one main striker this season - either Ishmael Miller or Bednar - with Jonathan Greening being pushed forward from midfield in support in recent games.

But Bednar is hoping the Baggies chief will persevere with the 4-4-2 formation as they look to take advantage of the absence of suspended Chelsea skipper John Terry.

Bednar said: "I hope we will play the next game together because I think we were dangerous together against Manchester City.

"Could we could form a good partnership? I think so but then I think all the good players can play together.

"If you are a good player, you have got to understand each other on the pitch and I can play with Luke and he can play with me. We know that.

"I think we will be glad if we can play together."
