Former West Brom boss Ron Atkinson says they should be going for Cups this season.
Atkinson, who had two spells as manager at The Hawthorns, believes it is in the cup competitions where the best chance of success lies.
“You have a mini league of six at the top, maybe Everton are about to join," he told the Express & Star.
“Then there is a group containing the likes Southampton, Albion, Leicester, Palace and Stoke who are battling it out behind. I think Albion will be OK. Tony's thing is 'we won't get beat' and the aim is always to get to 40 points.
“What I would like them to do is target the cup competitions more. The fans know that unless they have a miracle, like Leicester, no-one outside the top group is going to win the league.
“So you say 'hang on, let's go for one of the cups'. A lot of the other clubs toss them away too easily. The fans love it. Can you imagine the atmosphere if West Brom went to Wembley?"
