'We've got to be on the players every day' - Morrison

West Bromwich Albion head coach James Morrison said his players cannot afford to come off the gas after losing at bottom side Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the Championship season.

The Baggies clinched safety with two games to spare after a run of one defeat in 11 games after Morrison was placed in interim charge after Eric Ramsay's departure in February.

But having been given the job on a permanent basis this week, Morrison suffered a second loss to hand the Owls just a second league win of the season.

"I don't want to get away from what we've achieved, but obviously we've set standards now and we didn't meet them today from the first 10 minutes," Morrison told BBC Radio WM.

"I think it's the first time I've had to get angry again at half-time. We huffed and puffed second half, but still again we didn't value the ball how I would like.

"The stuff that's brought us success wasn't there today, so I'm a bit disappointed with that. But the bigger picture is where we were at Oxford to where we are now - that's the positive.

"We felt their (Sheffield Wednesday's) occasion today and we didn't rise to it and that's the thing I've learnt today - we've got to be on the players every day and we can't come off the gas."
