Charlie Austin acknowledges that securing promotion is not the equivalent of a beauty contest as the race for the Championship's two automatic places enters its final throes.
Austin doused West Brom's 442-minute goal drought from the penalty spot earlier this week in a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in which substance trumped style.
Slaven Bilic's team sit second in the table, having played some stunning football throughout the course of this most unusual of seasons but its business end will call for different qualities, according to the 30-year-old.
'It's in our hands but we have to do something about it and winning games of football doesn't have to be pretty,' he said, ahead of Sunday's visit to the Hawthorns of relegation-threatened Hull.
