Mentality trumps anything, no excuses - Mason
West Bromich Albion manager Ryan Mason is demanding a "positive mentality" as they head into the busy Christmas and New Year shedule.
The Baggies play four games across 11 days, and are currently 16th in the table after three defeats in their last four matches.
Mason told BBC Radio WM they must relish the tough schedule.
"The mentality is the most important thing. For me, that trumps everything," he said.
"You'll be amazed what the body can do. I've brought some experts in, and there are some really good people here who are planning training and pitching it to a certain point, and a lot of the physical stature - you can see that.
