'We need to become more clinical' - Mason

West Bromwich Albion boss Ryan Mason says the Baggies need to kill games off earlier to avoid dropping more points after the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City on Wednesday night.

"We were 1-0 up in a game we wanted to win, we created opportunities to go 2-0 up and we don't end up winning the game," Mason told BBC Radio WM.

"The players put so much effort in, they are fighting for each other, showing so much quality at times, but not doing enough to get over the line. It's something we need to improve on.

"We are coming out of the wrong end of results where we have had situations to put some distance between us and the opposition. We didn't do that tonight and we got punished for it.

"We need to help the players to become more clinical because we had some big opportunities. We are creating situations, so it is disappointing. I am super-frustrated because the players gave everything tonight."
