Ryan Mason's 'pride' at Leicester display despite century run-equalling defeat - and calls out discipline

It came after Mason's side dominated the second half against the Foxes and with the scoreline at 1-1 created all the chances to claim a first away win since October 1.

A draw would have stopped the losing rot on their travels but Abdul Fatawu thumped in a volley deep into stoppage time to claim the points and leave the Baggies further in the depths of despair as fans called for the head coach's head.

Mason included "pride" among his emotions of "anger" and "frustration" after the defeat.

He said when asked about the late defeat: "Incredible. If you've not been able to watch West Bromwich Albion this season, then I think that 95 minutes pretty much sums up our season.

"Created more chances in the opposition, more shots at goal, more penalty box entries, more this, more that, more pretty much everything.

"But for some reason we've got an incredible ability to lose games that we really shouldn't. So (it's) frustrating, angry, so many emotions. Pride as well, standing there to watch my team play like that. With personality, with quality, with everything, there's pride involved as well. Trust me, there's a lot of pride."

But Mason criticised the manner of the very late sting in the tail provided by the Foxes and Fatawu. Leicester themselves are beleaguered and moored in mid-table and the King Power Stadium was half-empty due to a home protest.

"To concede at the end from something that is a principle-based thing and the lack of discipline in that moment has cost us," he added.

"The reality is we are where we are because of lack of discipline in different moments, whether that's a penalty against Hull. There's moments that have changed and dictated how the game and the result has gone. But that's where we are at the moment."

He added: "I think the reality is in football, if you can't win the game, then you certainly don't lose it.

"We've had a lot of games this season where the reality is we conceded two shots faced on target today and we've conceded two goals. That's been something that's continuously happened.

"I think in our last five or six games, we've probably conceded 12 shots on target and conceded 10 goals. It's not a normal situation to be in for whatever reason."

Mason reverted to Josh Griffiths in goal from deputy Joe Wildsmith but while the change - as well as reintroducing Jayson Molumby, Chris Mepham and Isaac Price - brought an improved performance the Baggies were left licking the same wounds.
