West Bromwich Albion were unable to find the back of the net against Wigan Athletic at the weekend.

Harvey Barnes has told West Bromwich Albion’s official website that Darren Moore was quick to encourage his side to forget about their latest defeat to Wigan Athletic.

West Brom were uncharacteristically poor going forward on Saturday, as they drew a blank at the DW Stadium.

The Baggies just didn’t look their normal selves, but Barnes insists that Moore did not read them the riot act after the contest.

“The main thing now will be recovery and setting up to bounce back,” the Leicester City loanee said.

“The gaffer was saying ‘that game’s done’ and ‘we’ve got to move on’.

“A positive mindset will be needed for next week.”

Despite West Brom’s failure to find the back of the net against Wigan, they still remain the Championship’s top scorers.

Barnes, Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez have all hit the back of the net prolifically this term.

West Brom have been knocked out of the automatic promotion spaces for now though, with Middlesbrough leapfrogging them in the table.

The Baggies are next in action on Wednesday, when they take on Frank Lampard’s Derby County side.
