Albion won 3-2 against West Ham United at the Hawthorns on Saturday to record their first victory of the season.

Before the match they had only managed to score one Barclays Premier League goal, leading to suggestions that Mowbray's squad does not posess the firepower to keep them up.

cutting edge

He said: "We have players who can lead the line for the team. It's going to be about trying to retain the ball, trying to stay in the game and making the opposition aware that we are a decent footballing side and that they can't be over-cavalier.

"The striker has to be at the cutting edge of the team, when the ball comes into the box he has to threaten the goal and in the four league games we've played we've generally done that.

"It was nice to get three goals at the weekend because it stops people asking about whether we can score goals - I have no fear that we can."
