Mowbray hints at sticking by Wildsmith

Wildsmith was slow to react to Trai Hume's first-half free-kick and the Baggies were unable to get back on level terms.
"Joe acknowledged he made a pretty bad mistake which cost us a goal, and ultimately the game," Mowbray said.
"But that's the job as a goalkeeper. It's frustrating because that becomes the narrative. With the chances we had and the situations we got into, you have to put the ball in the net.
