Di Matteo ponders striker options

Thu, 29 Oct 10:47:59 2009

Head coach Roberto Di Matteo is refusing to make any panic buys as West Brom struggle for goals.

Albion's dip in form has coincided with a sorry run that has seen them fail to find the net in four of their last six games - something which has led to extra shooting sessions in training this week.

Summer signing Simon Cox is at the centre of calls to be given a chance against Watford on Saturday while Roman Bednar is also likely to return from a back injury to compete with Luke Moore and Chris Wood for a starting berth.

Di Matteo's options in attack along with the chances Albion are carving out for themselves, despite their failure to take them, means the Italian is unlikely to turn to the loan market just yet.

"We've been looking at that department but only a week ago we were the second highest scorers in the league and now we are the third," he told the club's official website.

"You always review and reassess your own situation and it's an area where we might have to do something if we don't get goals from our team. But I still think in the last two games we could have scored maybe one or two goals."
