Mowbray insists Wildsmith is still his man after the 1-1 draw ahead of Hull visiting The Hawthorns tomorrow.

When Alex Palmer was sold to Ipswich Town in January, Josh Griffiths was recalled from what had been a successful loan spell in League One with Bristol Rovers. Some expected Griffiths to slot straight in but Mowbray has instead opted for Wildsmith.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Mowbray said: "You can’t change your goalkeeper because he’s made one error. If you change him and then the next goalie you put in makes an error where are you going next? Are you going back to the goalie you have just disappointed - who feels you are not supporting him because he’s made one error?.
