00:00Playoff hopefuls West Bromwich Albion were forced to settle for their 18th draw of the season
00:08after being held to a 1-1 draw against relegation threatened Hull City.
00:14The Baggies took a deserved lead through Isaac Price from the edge of the area
00:19in the second half but were pegged back in the final 15 minutes
00:24when Hull's substitute Abu Kamara levelled the proceedings.
00:30The result leaves West Brom clinging on to a playoff spot just ahead of 7th place Bristol
00:37City on goal difference following Bristol's victory over Norwich City,
00:42Middlesbrough's draw at Luton and Coventry's 3-0 triumph over Sunderland.
00:49I think during the international break there's some serious work to do in getting more end
00:55product from our possession and play in the final third. It's a disappointing dressing room
01:01and I think rightly so said Tony Mowbray. With just eight games left to secure their
01:09place in the top six West Brom face a tough challenge. Their remaining fixtures will be
01:15pivotal as they battle for promotion against the likes of Sunderland, Coventry City,
01:21Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Watford. West Brom are targeting a return to the Premier League for
01:28the first time since 2021 and Tony Mowbray who led the club to the top flight in 2008
01:35is determined to guide them back at the first time of ASCII.
01:39So competitive and a championship I think is one of the most exciting divisions in the world for
01:44that reason. This year West Brom have kind of been fifth and sixth the entire time. It feels like
01:49somehow sticking in that place despite drawing so many games more than any other team in a division.
01:55I think the important thing is they've been very difficult to beat.
01:59His track record gives him belief that he can get West Brom back to the top flight but time is
02:06running out and the baggies must deliver results if they are to stay in the playoff race.
