Deja vu at Albion - but this time feels different

[BBC] [Getty Images] We've been here before only 12 months ago. Albion with a flying start to the campaign, winning games and getting points on the board early. In fact it has been the case for the past three seasons, under both Carlos Corberan and Ryan Mason. It is happening again under James Morrison, with two league wins, a cup victory and a battling display at Newcastle United on Wednesday evening. It is a start not many fans could have envisaged at the end of last season. Among many it will very much be a case of keeping feet well and truly on the ground. We can't forget that Albion flew out of the traps last season - only to be sucked into a relegation battle. Despite there quite rightly being a mindset of not getting too carried away, we've already seen something very different about this Morrison side. Adaptability, and the ability Morrison and his side seem to have in terms of not being one dimensional. In both league games and the Newcastle trip, they have shown that they can sit in, soak it up, be hard to beat. On the other hand, they've shown they can dominate the ball with purpose and create chances, like they did in their superb victory over Burnley. And they have also displayed that they have the quality to hurt teams on the counter attack, like they did against Norwich and at times up at Newcastle. Under previous managers, they have been too one dimensional, accused of not being able to a show a plan B or C. In this small sample size, we have already seen Morrison and his charges are able to do that. Albion fans know not to get carried away given what has gone on before - but although this terrific start is a throwback to recent seasons, something seems a bit different under Morrison.
