'He's like a 25-year-old Jed Wallace' - West Brom boss points to factor behind winger's form

Back-to-back wins in an unbeaten run of four has lifted Albion four points clear of the Championship drop zone with seven games left and Wallace has starred in the victories against Hull and Bristol City.

Wallace spent three months sidelined with a calf injury before Christmas.

"He looks like a young 25-year-old Jed Wallace, doesn't he?" Morrison smiled.

"I felt that in his performance when he came on at Sheffield United, where he changed the game.

"And he's maintained that level, so I'm really proud of Jed."

Wallace has been selected on the right of Morrison's 4-4-2 shape and his form has helped Albion finally discover some consistency in a season where failings under Ryan Mason and Eric Ramsay saw the club plummet in the second tier.

The experienced club captain has stepped up to the plate in timely fashion, with key wide attackers Mikey Johnston and Karlan Grant both sidelined for lengthy periods.

Johnston will not play again this season due to a fractured ankle, while Grant has been out since January with a hamstring issue. The latter is nearing a return and set to return to training in April.

"I think he's just had a bit of consistency of playing and getting that rhythm back that you need," Morrison added of Wallace's form.

"At his age, sometimes it can be difficult when you are not in that rhythm and he has found his rhythm.

"Credit to Jed, because he's come back and he's been a top performer for us."

Wallace, who is out of contact at The Hawthorns this summer, has made 11 league starts and came from the bench on a further 11 occasions.
