Good form down to learning from failures - Morrison
· Yahoo Sports
West Bromwich Albion head coach James Morrison said his side's timely run of good form has been down to them learning from past failures.

The Baggies are unbeaten in six games and have their Championship destiny in their own hands going into the final five matches of the season, with a four-point gap to the relegation zone.
That run - two wins and four draws - since a 2-1 defeat by Oxford United on 28 February earned Morrison a nomination for manager of the month for March, and he has taken Albion from the bottom three to relative comfort in 20th place.
"The reaction from Oxford, the belief and the determination of trying to, one, improve the performances and, two, get the club out of this position - sometimes you learn the most off your failures," he told BBC Radio WM.
"I think that's a sign of a good team when you have that disappointment and then you come back from it.
"We can control some sort of disappointment, but it's how you control the big disappointments and how you react through that. And I've talked about that with the group - coming through some difficult moments and going again."
A win over top-two chasing Millwall on Friday [20:00 BST] would put the Baggies in touching distance of 50 points - widely accepted as the tally usually needed to stay up.
And Morrison said he has been reminding his players of how close they are to doing that.
"Ever since I've come in, we've had targets," he said. "So we keep reminding ourselves of theneed to be day-to-day, game-to-game, and then we keep working for them.
"I think everyone knows in this division, statistically, what it is, so we keep fighting for that and we'll breathe when we can breathe."
