West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is confident morale is still good despite the 5-0 home defeat to Manchester United in midweek. West Brom now face two crucial games, against out-of-form Hull at the KC Stadium on Saturday and at home to struggling Newcastle the following weekend.
Mowbray said: "Will the United scoreline affect morale? I don't think so. The players realise where we are at the moment with the club and with the team we are putting out.
"The group know we are a bit short at present of being able to field our best starting eleven.
"To have given United a decent game, we would have needed our best team out - and even then there were no guarantees we would have given them a good game.
"I don't think what happened will damage confidence and belief. The belief comes from beating Manchester City, Tottenham and Middlesbrough in the previous three home games.
"When Newcastle come here in 10 days time, we've got to be ready for that game.
"Before that, we've got Hull at the weekend. I am sure that will be a much tighter affair and we've got to go and try to pick up some points."
