Albion fans want to see us score more goals - Mowatt
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Alex Mowatt says Baggies fans have reason to feel excited about the attacking football they are going to witness following the return of Tony Mowbray as boss.
After scoring just twice in their first seven home games this season, Albion have now netted 17 in their last seven.
Eight have come in the two home matches since Carlos Corberan's departure for Spain was announced late on Christmas Eve - three under the Chris Brunt-led caretaker team against Preston and now five more in Mowbray's first home game back in charge.
Speaking after the 5-1 win over Portsmouth, Mowatt told BBC Radio WM: "Tony wants us to play it forward quicker and create more chaos at the back for the other team. Get more shots off and get them defending their goal.
"We played so long in the way of Carlos, it's about changing now and adapting.
"Maybe I might touch the ball less but we'll get more chances. And hopefully I might get a few more goals. There's a bit more freedom to move into different positions."
Mowatt scored twice in the 3-0 win at Pompey when Albion were top of the league in September, and he again got the ball rolling on Saturday with the first goal on 25 minutes - the first of four in less than a quarter of an hour.
Grady Diangana netted two of them, either side of one for Jed Wallace, his long awaited first of the season. And the scoring was done by the 56th minute after John Swift also bagged his first of the campaign
"That's what the fans pay their money for," said Mowatt. "They want to see us score goals."
Having climbed back up to fifth in the Championship, Mowbray's men now have the chance to build on that.
They head for bottom club Plymouth Argyle on Saturday before two home games in five days against Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers.
