West Brom fans back James Morrison after 2-0 win over Preston | OneFootball

James Morrison’s West Brom extended their unbeaten run to eight with a 2-0 victory over Preston, prompting some supporters to call for him to get the job.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the reaction was buoyant, with widespread praise for Morrison and the team.

Goals from Josh Maja and Daryl Dike took Albion to 49 points, while defeats for Oxford and Leicester brought them closer to safety.

Supporters on X hailed a big step towards survival, praised the noise after Dike’s strike and revelled in a clean sheet. Several lauded Dike’s response and the team’s improved organisation. One even wondered whether, without Morrison, they might have been heading for League One.

A win against Watford on Tuesday, combined with results going for them elsewhere, could make Albion mathematically safe. There remains the prospect of a points deduction for financial issues, so building a cushion still feels important to many.
