West Brom boss Tony Mowbray has whisked his players away to an Essex training camp for a tactical pow-wow.

"We've come away for various reasons," Mowbray told the club's website.

"The players worked extremely hard during our week in Holland and we decided to play Ipswich because I thought they would give us as close a test to a Premier League side away from home - due to the way they play football - as there is out there.

"We've now got another opportunity to have a few days together both relaxing and training and trying to tie down the tactical side, rather than the physical side or technical play.

"We'll be walking through a lot of scenarios - things that might happen on the pitch next season.

"It's more of a tactical get-together."
