West Brom boss wants a run of form

Mar 3 2009 by Christopher Lepkowski, Birmingham Mail

TONY Mowbray believes Albion must follow Stoke and Middlesbrough’s lead to help kick-start their survival bid.

The Baggies take on Arsenal tonight knowing that they could find themselves with more than a two-game swing if they lose and results go against them.

Stoke and Boro both pulled away from Albion following their weekend results, Tony Pulis’s men drawing 2-2 at Villa and Boro beating Liverpool 2-0.

“We need to try and get a run going,” said Mowbray.

“Let’s hope we can do it against Arsenal just like those two teams got their results at the weekend.

“We’ve got to win some games pretty quickly. Let’s say we win the next two games against Arsenal and West Ham and get six points. Then we would be facing Bolton and Stoke at home with everything spun on its head.

“It’s easy to say, ‘how are you going to win the next two games when you haven’t won in however many?’
