How to watch Swansea City vs West Brom: TV channel and live stream details ahead of FA Cup clash
West Bromwich Albion interim head coach James Morrison leads his team into battle against Swansea City in the third round of the FA Cup
West Brom interim manager James Morrison has admitted that he’s disappointed to see Ryan Mason lose his job at the Hawthorns, adding that all the coaching staff feel a degree of responsibility for things not going to plan in the first half of the season.
The Baggies have won just nine of their 27 matches in the Championship so far this season and currently find themselves closer to the relegation places then promotion after a 10th away defeat in a row at Leicester City.
Morrison, who was a popular figure at West Brom during his playing days, is has been put back in temporary charge, marking his second interim stint after also filling in after Tony Mowbray’s exit towards the end of last season.
"Obviously my emotions are for Ryan - we had a connection and worked together for a period of time and I thought he was a top man and top coach so, on that front, I'm disappointed," Morrison, 39, told BBC Radio WM. “But I understand football is a results business and I look forward to representing the football club as best as I can."
Morrison says he will carry on filling in until told otherwise as speculation in the background continues to link former Manchester United coach Eric Ramsay with the role.
For the time being, however, Morrison’s task is simple and that’s to lead the Baggies into the fourth round of the FA Cup while trying to avoid an unwanted joint-record 11th consecutive defeat on the road, dating back to 1926-27. Many will be intrigued to see if there’s any difference in how the team approach the game under Morrison’s stewardship and plenty will be keen to follow proceedings on TV.
