Mowbray takes Stoke swipe

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Mowbray issued a thinly-veiled criticism of Stoke City's physical play after a 1-0 loss at the Britannia Stadium.

The Baggies remained rooted to the foot of the Premier League table after seeing their winless run stretch to seven games.

A towering header from Mamady Sidibe six minutes from time secured a massive three points for the Potters.

"You may describe Stoke a physical side - you've got to be physically ready to come here and I thought we did that admirably today," said Mowbray.

"Sometimes that makes for a less enjoyable football match, less of a spectacle.

"But there you go, all that matters in the eyes of some is the result.

"You know my philosophy. My view is that I like to entertain the supporters who come and pay their hard-earned money and I thought that was very difficult to do here.

"I don't want to be harsh, but I thought it was a pretty dross game of football.

"I don't think there was too much to talk about, it was a pretty poor match.

"I can't remember them having too many chances, but we've lost 1-0 and it's disappointing that we didn't create enough chances ourselves."
