West Brom boss Tony Mowbray will be shopping for a new striker when the transfer window reopens in January. The Baggies have struggled for goals this season, having only netted seven goals to date.

"It is always a fine balance, I think the players know that," Mowbray told Sky Sports News. "I don't think you need to keep ramming it down their throats.

"The centre forwards at our club are disappointed when they don't score and you can take them on the training ground to do finishing drills, but it is down to what is in their head when the chance comes and how calm they can be and trusting their technique to finish.

"The goals will start flowing for us if we continue to make the chances.

"I have got faith in them, we have got to keep going, keep believing and if we can turn half the chances we create at the moment into goals we will be doing okay."

When asked if he would be in the market for a new striker, Mowbray said: "I think so. A striker was high up the shopping list in the last window really, but because we couldn't get the one that we wanted we didn't spend money in an area that we were not 100 per cent sure on.

"I think the strikers at the football club need extra competition and it is an area where we are looking for, but the right player at the right price has got to be available."
