West Brom boss Tony Mowbray has hit out at claims his team lacks steel after defeat at Everton yesterday.

Albion have won only two of their last 11 and look to be heading back to the Championship.

But Mowbray was defiant, saying: "I've been asked if we are up for the fight. But you will never see a scraping, spitting, fighting, muscular team from me. You will see a team that passes and moves.

"What is right or wrong? I know what is right, and if you get relegated, take it on the chin. We will play exactly the same next season, you do what you believe in.

"Lack of fight? What does that mean. Is it how many fouls you give away?

"I'm more concerned about whether a striker can hit the target and how good we are on the ball. Those are the things we work at on the training ground.

"This is the team I coach. Some people judge you on results, I judge teams on the way they play. I want to keep our stadium full and people wanting to come and watch us.

"I want to make my players better and we will keep going. We are not too far away from being a good team."
