Albion’s late substitutes made a great deal of difference in completing their dramatic turnaround against Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday, but James Morrison reasoned that the Baggies were beginning to pose more questions of their hosts prior to those changes even being made.

Aune Heggebø stepped from the bench to score the winner in the closing stages of the game, having entered with Albion trailing 1-0, while another introduction in Nat Phillips also made a notable contribution in ensuring the Baggies returned to winning ways after defeats to Wolves and Blues.

Albion worked hard in the international break to develop the breadth of weapons in their arsenal and Morrison opted to shift Isaac Price, who scored first, over to the right-hand side prior to altering personnel.
