West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison expressed frustration following his team’s 3-1 loss to Middlesbrough, acknowledging that while his side dominated large portions of the match, poor timing around goal concessions proved costly. Morrison highlighted a solid first-half performance where the Baggies controlled proceedings, though they failed to convert their territorial advantage into clear scoring opportunities.
The turning point came after the interval, with Middlesbrough capitalizing on their improved play to take control of the contest. Morrison felt the timing of the opposing goals was particularly damaging to his side’s chances. He also raised concerns about officiating, suggesting that the linesman should have done better in detecting offside positions when Middlesbrough found the back of the net.
Despite the defeat, Morrison maintained a positive outlook on his team’s overall display. He praised the squad’s ability to find passing lanes and maintain possession in difficult circumstances, noting that the crowd’s frustration stemmed from West Brom’s inability to convert their good work into results. Morrison suggested that the performance itself was commendable, even though the final scoreline did not reflect their effort during significant periods of play.
