Jones confirmed the club are working hard in the transfer market
Assistant head coach Nathan Jones says Albion are working hard to strengthen the squad in the next 72 hours, ready to push on in the second half of the season.
Speaking after the 0-0 draw with Burnley, Jones refused to comment on various specific transfer speculation.
He said, "Things are ongoing and we are working hard in the transfer market to try and strengthen for a push.*
"Overall the aim is to strengthen because we want to push on and things are ongoing at the moment.
"I won't comment on specific speculation or players, but we are working hard to bring in a few players.
"It is hard to judge how we will feel at 11pm; it will depend on the next 72 hours, but whatever does happen things will settle down a little bit on the 1st February*
"Hopefully by then we will be in a strong position and happy with what we have and ready to go for the second half of the season."
Meanwhile, Jones admitted the side were satisfied after leaving Turf Moor with a hard-earned point.
Albion battled to a goalless draw at Turf Moor
“It’s a difficult place to come on a Tuesday night and they’re flying. They’ve also had ten day’s rest to prepare for the game, so we think this is an excellent point.
“The players have put in a proper shift tonight. We defended particularly well, and we had a couple of chances – probably the best chance of the game at the end – but it would have been harsh on Burnley if we had nicked it.”
Jones also felt Albion's decision to stay in the north between the cup tie at Port Vale and the Burnley match was vindicated.
He added, "It's been a great trip to be fair, in terms of productivity. We have had the squad altogether and they have worked really hard; they have been exemplary.*
"The club have worked hard for us too, they got us up here and we've been up here since Friday at a fantastic facility.*
"To do that and prepare right helped us today, because that extra edge - from not travelling - proved vital tonight in the final minutes, as we finished the game strongly.
"It has been productive with everyone in the squad playing their part: we've got a point here tonight and progressed in the FA Cup."
