Tony Mowbray, boss of bottom club West Brom, intends to play the passing game rather than try and muscle their way out of trouble. The former Hibernian boss, whose side visit West Ham on Monday, said: "You'll never see a fighting, scrapping, muscular football team from me.

"You'll see a playing, passing, moving team. What's right and what is wrong? I know what I think is right. If we get relegated, we'll take it on the chin.

"If we have to go back down, the team will be exactly the same next year and, as we did last season, we would hopefully do okay in a league where you've got to do what you believe in."
