Morrison Prepares for Mowbray Return as West Brom Host Blackburn

Overview

• West Brom welcome Blackburn to The Hawthorns on Saturday with James Morrison urging focus on the Championship's "fine margins" after a shaky run of results.
• West Brom regained momentum with a late 2-1 win at Wrexham on Tuesday that ended a two-match losing run and restored belief in the squad.
• Morrison has made bold selection calls this season by dropping and later using players such as Auge Heggebo, Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Nat Phillips, and substitutes played decisive roles in the Wrexham comeback.
• Blackburn arrive in good form, having taken 10 points from their last four games, and a win would allow Tony Mowbray's side to leapfrog Albion in the table.
• The match revives a personal subplot between mentor and protégé, with Mowbray returning to the club that signed Morrison in 2007 while West Brom seek consistency from a young team still gelling and aiming for a promotion push.
