West Brom midfielder Morrison: Hodgson wants us to finish as region top dogs

West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison is delighted with their season turnaround.

Albion are now in prime position to finish as the midlands' highest-placed club in the Barclays Premier League.

It is a major turnaround in fortunes after collecting 19 points from 11 games under head coach Roy Hodgson.

Morrison said: "We just wanted to finish as high as possible and, to be fair, the manager has been saying 'can we finish as the highest-placed midlands club?'

"I think it's for the fans, so they've got the bragging rights, and we've done well this season.

"It shows how far we have come as a team. We've got some good players and a lot of teams this year have under-estimated us.

"It is important next year that we can kick on and again next year is again going to be about surviving."
