The Baggies made virtually sure of top-flight football by drawing 1-1 at home to Southampton courtesy of a late goal from £3million signing Chris Brunt.

Mowbray said: "I am delighted for the players and the staff. It has been a long, hard season after the play-off final defeat and the changes in the squad during the summer."

He added: "We had the expectation of people saying 'Albion are the best team in the league' to deal with. That could have been a burden but full credit to the players for overcoming that.

"We are almost there and it will take a strange set of results at the weekend to deny us promotion but the players in the dressing room were already talking about winning the league.

"That was a strong feeling amongst them after the final whistle."

Now they will have to lose at QPR and main rivals Hull win at Ipswich and over-turn a 12-goal deficit to deny Mowbray's team a return to the promised land.

Mowbray admitted he will fully enjoy what Albion have achieved with his family after taking the midlands club in his first full season in charge.

He said: "I enjoy winning any match. I am not outwardly emotional but inwardly I enjoy things as much as anyone else.

"I will enjoy the moment when I get home with the family. Then I will feel the warmth of getting into the Premier League."
