Hodgson concedes West Brom in relegation battle

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson concedes they're fighting against relegation.

The Baggies were shocked by Norwich City on Saturday.

Asked if he felt his side were in a relegation fight, Hodgson said: "We have been in that for a long time, and will be in it for a long time to come.

"There are a lot of teams in it because all you need is a couple of bad results and then you are dragged right down there."

He added: "The morale is nowhere near as high now as it was last season when we were winning games, or not getting beaten.

"But it is a very common dilemma and one which comes about because we are in a result-oriented business.

"Every time you are not winning, everyone at the club is unhappy. It is as it is and we will have to deal with it."
