West Brom boss Tony Mowbray admitted he "didn't particularly like" his side's performance in their 2-1 win over Watford.

"I think the three points is the most important thing, I didn't particularly like our performance," he told BBC WM.

"I prefer to dominate the game and have double the shots of the opposition. It was a strange game today, they're a hugely athletic team and gave us some problems and yet I always felt on transitions there was a lot of space for us to play into.

"Two cutback goals is brilliant because we've worked on that a lot in the past 10 days.

"After the Sunderland game where we had over 60% possession and over 20 shots and lose 1-0, I said to the players do they want to be the dominant team or do you want to defend deeper and leave some space to counter-attack. It was interesting for me to see how quickly we could break away. It's food for thought moving forward."
