Albion captain Jonathan Greening has backed Tony Mowbray to help the Baggies avoid relegation. Despite the club's lowly position at the bottom of the table Greening believes The Hawthorns chief is still the right man for the job after a disappointing season.
The former Middlesbrough and Manchester United midfielder claims the club has come on 'leaps and bounds' since Mowbray joined from Hibs two-and-a-half years ago with all fans Greening meets still fully supportive of his expansive attacking style.
The Baggies boss won promotion as champions in his first full season as Albion boss - as well as reaching the FA Cup semi-final - with Greening hoping the players can avoid relegation for the popular boss.
"All the players and the staff love the gaffer," the Albion skipper revealed.
"Everyone thinks he's a top guy and a great coach.
"We all believe in the way he likes to play and personally I think it is definitely the right way to play in the Premier League.
"Everyone says there is no right or wrong to play - and there isn't.
"Stoke play a direct game.
"Wimbledon used to do it for years and they survived in the Premier League for a long time.
"I think to be a top, top team in the Premier League you have got to play the way he likes to play, like Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.
"If we could stay up for the gaffer it would be a great achievement because people have been saying all season we'll get relegated playing this way.
"He got us here in the first place in his first full season at the club.
"Since he's been here the club has come on leaps and bounds and the way we play gets a lot of plaudits from everyone who is a football fan.
"Everyone stops me in Sutton and tells me what good football we play and it's quite a nice feeling.
"It would be great if we can stop up for the gaffer because he's a great guy."
