HAL ROBSON-KANU has warned West Brom’s promotion rivals they have the best attack in the Championsh­ip.

Albion are the highest scorers in all four divisions with 37 goals in their 17 league games, heading into tonight’s Ipswich clash.

Their squad boasts the likes of Dwight Gayle, Jay Rodriguez, Harvey Barnes and Matt Phillips.

But they have conceded more goals (25) than any other side in the second tier.

“We’ve got a front four, five or six where all the players can comfortabl­y play,” said Robson-Kanu.

“I think we’ve got the best attack, but you don’t win a Championsh­ip with just an attacking force.”

Robson-Kanu was on target in the win over Leeds and, after getting a start in a new-look 4-3-3, he hopes to keep his place.

“For me, it was just about being patient. It was really nice to get a start to show what I can do,” he said.

Ipswich boss Paul Lambert is looking to build on back-to-back draws.

He has not managed to haul Town off the bottom yet, but is hoping that stopping the bleeding could be the start of a revival.

Lambert said: “This is a different game from what it would have been a couple of weeks ago.

“We’ll be ready for it and we’re playing with a lot of confidence at the minute.

“We certainly don’t look like a team at the bottom of the table.”
