IT’S ANOTHER REPRIEVE, AL

games remaining, and midfielder Chris Brunt admitting Albion need “snookers” to stay up, no change of manager is expected this week. Another defeat against Leicester next Saturday would lead to another review of Pardew’s position, but he remained defiant last night. The Albion boss said: “We’re in a difficult position. And if you look at the table, it’s daunting. “I’m just frustrated. We have not got the results we perhaps deserved, but we were much better at Watford. That’s what we’ve got to take forward – the positivity of the team, the commitment they showed me. I thank them for that.”
