We just lacked a bit of quality in the final third, just lacked that bit of composure &#8211; someone who&#8217;s going to get that final pass off and give our strikers a chance in the box.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Having said that, the keeper&#8217;s made a terrific save off Heggebo. It was world-class. Then (had Albion scored) it would have been a different game, sat here 1-0 with a really good away performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It keeps the momentum and we&#8217;ve seen that the results have gone for us again, so we&#8217;ve just got to keep getting the results and points on the board and keep moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Blackburn Rovers manager Michael O&#8217;Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Overall we have to be happy with four points from the two games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think we played as well today &#8211; there&#8217;s always a worry after what the players put into the game on Friday that they can&#8217;t get to the same level physically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I think first half we struggled a little bit with that, gave the ball away a little bit cheaply, and the goalkeeper makes an amazing save for us, which we needed at that point in time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But second half I thought we were a lot better. I thought we looked like the team more likely to win the game, but we didn&#8217;t maybe make the best of some of the opportunities that we had.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;So overall we have to be pleased with a clean sheet. It keeps us six points clear of the teams that are in the bottom three and chalks another game off.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Bromwich Albion interim head coach James Morrison told BBC WM: &#8220;I saw my players give everything.
