West Bromwich Albion secured an impressive 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers, but former midfielder James Morrison has issued a 'miles better' call to the club, urging caution despite the result. Speaking after the match, Morrison emphasized that while the win was a positive step, the team still has significant room for improvement if they are to achieve their season's ambitions.
Morrison's Assessment of the Win
Morrison, who made over 300 appearances for the Baggies, praised the team's performance but stressed that consistency will be key. "It was a good win, but we need to be miles better if we want to challenge at the top," he said. The victory at Loftus Road lifted West Brom to third in the Championship table, just two points behind leaders Leicester City.
Key Moments and Impact
The match saw West Brom take control early, with goals from Brandon Thomas-Asante and Jed Wallace putting them 2-0 up before half-time. QPR pulled one back through Lyndon Dykes, but substitute John Swift sealed the win with a late strike. The result extended West Brom's unbeaten run to five games, but Morrison insists the team cannot afford to rest on their laurels.
Looking Ahead
With a packed fixture schedule ahead, including a clash against Leeds United next week, Morrison believes the squad's depth will be tested. "We have a strong squad, but we need to show we can handle the pressure," he added. The Baggies will be hoping to maintain their momentum as they push for automatic promotion.
