Interim Boss James Morrison Lifts West Brom Clear of Danger With Unbeaten Run

Overview

• West Brom have taken two wins and two draws in their last four league matches under James Morrison, moving four points above the relegation places.
• The team next host Wrexham at The Hawthorns before a trip to Blackburn Rovers, which will show if the recent upturn can hold.
• Morrison reverted to a 4-4-2, gave clearer instructions, and pushed a more direct style with set-piece threat, drawing praise from former midfielder Richard Sneekes.
• Defender Nat Phillips said Morrison spotted the squad’s shortfalls and has them playing more forward-thinking football that suits their strengths.
• Eric Ramsay was sacked after a 1-1 draw with Charlton following nine winless games, a run local analysis describes as the club’s worst on record.
