James Morrison ready to shoot for top-12 finish

Albion midfielder James Morrison has set his sights on a top 12 finish, despite admitting Premier League survival is still the number one aim.

With every team in the bottom half of the table still embroiled in a relegation scrap, the Baggies currently sit eight points off the drop zone in 14th position.

But after picking up four wins and three draws in their last 10 top flight fixtures, everyone at Albion is looking up instead of down as the Tony Pulis revolution continues.

"The way the table looks you could probably say we've got one foot in the Premier League next season but not both," Morrison said.

"We've got a couple of games coming up at home and we've been good at home recently so we'll be looking at them to get maximum points and then the big boys (Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea) come along.

"But we will be looking to give all of them a game and secure a top-12 finish because that would be a good season for us.

"We are looking to go as far as we can go, take things game by game and just enjoy it really because we deserve to be where are now."

Albion slipped to a 3-0 defeat against Man City in their last game before the international break following a fixture shrouded in controversy after Gareth McAuley wrongly sent-off in a case of mistaken identity.

"It was horrible playing City with 10 men but we just had to dig in and fight hard for each other," Morrison said.

"The most important thing for us now is to work on the goals we conceded.

"They were quite sloppy and we haven't been giving those types goals away recently.

"So it was hard to take but the most pleasing thing was how hard we worked for each other. We dug in and went to the last minute."

The Scotland midfielder also revealed the squad have full confidence in 'keeper Boaz Myhill who will be between the sticks until the end of the season following Ben Foster's knee injury.

"Boaz is an experienced keeper," Morrison said.

"He's been around for a long time and he's played in some big games so we've got no qualms about him.

"We know he'll be 100 per cent on it."
