Megson fires warning

Report: West Brom 4-1 Ipswich

West Brom manager Gary Megson has warned the rest of the First Division that their best is yet to come.

The Baggies secured their fifth win of the season with a 4-1 home win over Ipswich.

Thomas Gaardsoe got the opener against his former side before two goals from Rob Hulse ensured the three points and kept West Brom in top spot.

"We are getting better at a lot of things but there is still room for improvement," said Megson.

"I thought Gaardsoe played well - he has been threatening to score a goal since he joined.

"His goal was a marvellous finish, it settled us down and gave us a platform to build from.

"I still think we're nowhere near the finished article. But we are getting there individually, there were a number of better performances."

When you're in bottom place there's only way to go and that's up Ipswich boss Joe Royle

Ipswich boss Joe Royle blamed poor defending for the defeat that sees them prop up the Division One table.

"I can't be happy - our defending was abysmal," said Royle.

"There were two free headers, a goalkeeping error and an own goal. That shows just how shoddy we were.

"We have let in four goals and it's not as if we we're under siege. We have got to stop giving away silly goals and we needed to be more threatening at the other end.

"We passed the ball well and we probably had most of the possession but we didn't hurt them enough. We need to break the ice - we need to get that three-pointer.

"When you're in bottom place there's only way to go and that's up. I am confident we can do so much better."
