Mozza blasts unacceptable display as woeful run continues

'LET DOWN' James Morrison revealed there were some harsh words said in the West Bromwich Albion dressing room after their winless run continued at fellow strugglers Oxford United.

Stan Mills climbs above his markers to score Oxford's first goal

The Baggies’ defensive frailties were punished from two set-pieces as Stan Mills and former Albion loanee Will Lankshear netted to put the hosts 2-0 ahead after 26 minutes at the Kassam Stadium.

Substitute Ollie Bostock pulled a goal back for Albion after 33 minutes with a deflected 25-yard shot and the visitors had plenty of the ball in the second half as they strove for an equaliser, but the result meant the Baggies are now without a win in 11 Championship games.

Oxford’s first victory in seven league matches moved them three points behind fourth-bottom West Brom and two off 22nd-placed Leicester City.

"There were words in the dressing room after the game, but I want what was said to remain in the dressing room," said interim boss Morrison, who was taking charge after Eric Ramsay was sacked after just nine games as boss.

"There were some harsh words, but there has to be. You can see that I’m frustrated. That was a big game for us."

He added: "We have to get real. I do feel let down by them.

"Maybe we're not as good as we think we are - maybe that's why we are where we are. You get what you deserve."

Morrison labelled the defending for the two U’s goals as "unacceptable" and admitted the afternoon as a whole was an incredibly frustrating one.
