West Bromwich Albion are preparing for their first full season under James Morrison, who guided the team to safety last season.

What's the plan?

Morrison has been trusted with the reins on a permanent basis after an excellent run heading into the final day of last season, sealing a spot in the division. The team's recent form has been LDWWD, and they are looking to build on this momentum, with a goal difference of -10 from 48 goals scored and 58 conceded last season.

Key players

Defender Nat Phillips has praised the impact of Morrison and his coaching staff, providing a hint on the tactical work being put in before next season. Phillips said the gaffer has added two more staff members, Tony McMahon and Gavin Strachan, who have slotted in seamlessly and brought a lot of energy to training.

What comes next?

The team is looking to increase their possession stats, which averaged 51.6 per cent last term, and become a dominant force in the Championship, 44 points behind leaders Coventry. With Morrison's awareness and the team's new tactical approach, fans can start to feel excited about potentially watching a free-flowing side once again, as they look to improve on their 21st place finish in the Championship with 51 points from 46 games, and recent form LDWWD.
