James Morrison

Kim Helbig, he's never been out of the championship.

Who else is up there? West Brom right now is James Morrison.

He's never been promoted out of the championship.

They believe in what they're doing.

They were absolutely fabulous.

James Morrison described it as a complete performance.

Everything that he wanted to see was replicated out on the pitch.

So you can't take anything away from the Baggies.

And since then, they've responded with 10 points in the last four.

So it's been a really good return and it's shown a good reaction.

And for James Morrison, obviously you and I sat here in the summer when we did our 1-24s, sort of plotting West Brom blind almost because we just didn't know what we were going to get.

Because obviously they'd done so well towards the end of last season with James Morrison in an interim role.

But he's been there, done it, got the t-shirt, so give him a little bit of patience, I think.

West Brom, one of your old teammates, James Morrison, of course, your former club as well.

What do you make of him as a manager? you expect it he's started really really well he's a

silent assassin i would say the boy he's a great great great lad and uh he's done a fantastic job of just going in there and you know what he's he's very placid very calm steadied the ship obviously i've had a few managers go in there and it's been a bit indifferent he's what he's gone in there and watched it and recognized what they need and he looks like he's steadied the ship and put the players in the right positions to do what they should be doing within them positions it sounds easy It's not easy.

Yeah, yeah.

Excellent for the Baggies this weekend.

And their boss, James Morrison, climbing the table.

Very competitive at the start of this campaign.

to come on.

James Morrison.

You

give me

We are going to talk a lot about Middlesbrough, I would imagine, as part of this.

So I'm going to throw to James to talk a little bit about Charlton, because I know that's going to make me happy.

Yeah, I just sort of dug up the tweet from earlier in the season where I was getting absolute dogs abuse from Charlton fans saying, I don't know what I'm talking about because I didn't think Nathan Jones was that good of a manager.

I didn't think they'd do very well this year.

No win since August.

Keelan, Adam, anyone else want to touch on Charlton before we start talking about Borough?

Nothing other than it's what we expected at the start of the season, which James sort of already mentioned there.

I actually don't think they're too bad defensively, but I just don't think they're going to score enough goals to threaten teams.

I wanted to shout out West Brom as well because they've now won three out of four since losing those back-to-back derbies against Wolves and against Birmingham.

So massive credit to James Morrison and to the Baggies.

But yeah, the home form is a real concern for West Ham right now.

Certainly is.

And the top assistor is Jimmy J. Morgan, as well, with four.

The manager is ex-baggy James Morrison.

And what a great job he's done, by the way.

Two caretaker stints, but was given the permanent role in April after steering them to safety.

But yeah, West Brom, decent.

The market realigned in the same way I did actually when it was like, no, James Morrison's actually good.

Isaac Price is going to keep playing well all season rather than just for a couple of months.

And yeah, they've got some star power and some threat up there.
