ALBION head coach Tony Mowbray said his team must become more ruthless after their 1-1 Championship draw with Hull.

Irritated Mowbray bemoans Baggies' giveaway

Isaac Price's 67th-minute volley was his first goal in English football but Tigers' substitute Abu Kamara equalised in the 79th to make it 18 draws for the Baggies more than any team in the top six tiers.

The visitors were then denied three times by Albion goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith late on at The Hawthorns.

Albion missed first-half chances through Adam Armstrong (twice), Mikey Johnston and Karlan Grant, while John Swift hit the bar just after the restart before Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur denied Price.

"I'm left frustrated and disappointed," said Mowbray. "Did they deserve a draw? Maybe from what they did late on, but we have to be more ruthless and have more end product.

"We had 16 shots but only three on target. From that amount of shots we have to hit the target seven or eight times, not three.

"I was frustrated we were not two or three goals up because at 1-0 you're always susceptible to conceding one to a bit of quality.

"We should have scored more in the first half - you can't have 60 to 70% possession and not have enough shots or work the goalkeeper for the positions we got into. We have to find the answers to that.

"Our keeper made saves late on but it felt like we were the dominant force, yet we have to be more clinical."
