West Bromwich Albion defender Nat Phillips has praised boss James Morrison's attacking style of play as the side enjoy an uptick in form.

The Baggies are undefeated across their past four league matches, winning their past two under the former assistant coach.

It's a big turnaround from where they were under the guidance of previous boss Eric Ramsay, who was unable to take a win with the team during his nine-game tenure.

"He's [Morrison] been watching us all season, and he would have had his own ideas on what our shortfalls may have been and what he can improve on," Phillips told BBC Radio WM.

"It was one of those things where it just didn't work [with Ramsay]. He wanted to sure things up, especially with the position in the league, and taking away elements of risk and being a bit more direct.

"We've got players who want to dominate possession, who want to have the ball, and be a bit more forward-thinking. Lately, that's shown to have worked better."

Albion will face fellow survival hopefuls Blackburn Rovers on Friday (15:00 GMT) for their first game back following the international break.

But while the side have had some time away from the Championship, the 29-year-old claims the mindset hasn't drifted from the league.

"At a time where results and performances have improved, you want to continue to build on that," Phillips added.

"But I think physically is the big one. It's been a busy period with lots of injuries, and some boys need looking after, so it's given the team a chance to do that."
