Ryan lets rip at his side after a mauling at The Den

WEST Brom boss Ryan Mason slammed his side's 'worst performance' of the season in a shock 3-0 defeat at Millwall on Saturday.

- 

After a midweek hiding at the hands of Coventry, Lions boss Alex Neil made seven changes in response to his side's third home loss in four games on Wednesday and what he got from his new-look lineup was a vastly improved showing in both boxes.

Captain Jake Cooper lifted the mood with his first-half opener and after Femi Azeez's stunning strike doubled their advantage, former Chelsea youngster Sturge rifled in as West Brom were beaten for just the second time this season.

West Brom boss Ryan Mason said: "I think it's our worst performance, absolutely, in every element of the game.

"It's the first time it's happened this season that I've really felt that so it's tough, it's disappointing, but the players feel it as well, most importantly.

"I just think we probably didn't show ourselves anywhere near what we needed to get anything from the game.

"I think when we had the ball, we were below par - I think in this type of game, with the wind, with the conditions, with the dry pitch, we needed to show personality and quality and we didn't quite have enough today.

"We gave away far too many free-kicks, far too many set-plays, inviting pressure on our box, balls coming in.
