Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Richard Sneekes stated that manager James Morrison must adapt his tactical style if the club wants to achieve success this season. Speaking on BBC WM's Football Phone-In, Sneekes criticized the team's commitment to playing out from the back following a 1-0 derby defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, which cost West Brom the chance to move joint-top of the Championship.

Sneekes argued that conceding the decisive goal to Fer Lopez following a weak Nat Phillips backpass showed the flaws in the current approach. Despite West Brom suffering their second defeat in eight games, Sneekes noted the young squad should still target a Championship play-off place.
