West Brom manager Ryan Mason speaking to BBC Radio WM:

"It was disappointing not to win. The performance in the second half was a little disjointed. We rushed things and played a little bit on edge. Tough to accept.

"The first half for 25 minutes, I thought we played a really good game. We had loads of final third entries, loads of moments.

"I understand the first goal is crucial and the longer the game was 0-0 there was probably a bit of anxiety.

"The energy shifted and we need to learn from that and be disciplined and do what we need to for 95 minutes.

"Every game in this league is demanding and challenging; we had so many moments that didn't materialise and we need to improve on that."

Hull City made it a nice half-a-dozen games unbeaten in the Championship with their lunchtime win at Norwich pushing them up to seventh place.

Boss Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:

"I must admit we survived in the first half because Norwich were much better than us.

"We changed our shape in the last 15 minutes of the first half because we didn't control anything and from the start of the second half we were much better.

"It's a huge three points for us but we will analyse the first half because it's a 90-minute game and you can always improve."

Norwich City

Norwich City lost a sixth successive home league game at Carrow Road and a sixth straight match in total.

Boss Liam Manning spoke to BBC Radio Norfolk:

"Ultimately you're tired of saying the same things - I'm scratching my head.

"I reflect on my performance first and you look at the first half and you have to be ahead.

"You get in at half time and the frustrating bit is we referenced they (Hull) are going to change - they're going to go man-to-man and we have to go in behind them and utilise the space but we don't do it.

"We just shoot ourselves in the foot by giving away, yet again, a horrific goal."

On his future:

"It's the same message, you keep fighting.

"Clearly there's a lot that needs to change - we have to look in-house and change."

On going straight down the tunnel at full time:

"I apologise to the fans for that - it's not good from me.

"I'm hurting, it's not the right thing to do and I apologise to everyone for that."

Leicester City

Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes speaking to BBC Sport Leicester:

“A poor performance. There’s no hiding on that. We started the game decent. It was not a great first half, and we were 1-0 down.

"At the end of the day, we expect more from this side. We need a reaction. We cannot keep waiting until something changes. I expect much more."

"Expectations must be at the top. We are not achieving those standards at the moment. It may be a difficult situation, but I believe in my strengths as a manager. It will not be an easy journey. We need to get better. There is no excuse.

"The situation is not good enough. There is another opportunity on Tuesday. There is enough quality in that squad to get better results.

"I’m not very happy at all, and very concerned. It’s about putting performances into results. That’s what the focus must be.

"It’s tough for all of us, and for those who care for the club. We need to stick together. I will make sure those players will try their best. We need the fans on board. I believe we can change things."

Anon: Saints have been crying out for a striker ever since Ings left. Why didn't we try to sign someone with all the money we made from Dibling and Fernandes in the summer?

Lee: I like Will Still BUT he's making it really difficult to keep backing him. As for Sport Republic, they've overseen 2 relegations already, will it be a 3rd come the end of the season?

Harry: Will Will Still still be in a job tomorrow?

Southampton have now won four of their past 51 league games. A remarkable state of affairs.

There can't be any complaints really.

Watford were really organised defensively and made it really difficult for us to break down. They thoroughly deserved it.

Unfortunately, Boro just didn't have an answer to Watford's defence.

Stoke are the big winners in more than one way today.

Their 5-1 thrashing of Bristol City moves them into third place, just one point behind Middlesbrough who lost at Watford and failed to take advantage of Coventry's defeat by Wrexham last night.

Millwall had second place snatched away by Oxford's stoppage-time leveller in their 2-2 draw.

Preston move into the top six with their victory at Southampton.

Norwich's sixth successive home defeat leaves them just above Sheffield Wednesday and they meet in midweek.

Sheffield United remain in trouble after losing to Derby, and look at Southampton, just three points outside the drop zone after relegation from the Premier League.

• Middlesbrough fall to a thumping 3-0 defeat at Watford as they miss out on the chance to go level on points with leaders Coventry but they stay second...
• Because Oxford score a last-minute equaliser against Millwall to stop the Lions going moving into the automatic promotion places.
• Stoke move up to third with a thumping 5-1 win over Bristol City, including a hat-trick from Divin Mubama.
• There's also a first career hat-trick for Carlton Morris as Derby beat lowly Sheffield United 3-1 and leave them firmly in the bottom three.
• Southampton are just three points above the bottom three after they lose 2-0 at home to Preston to leave boss Will Still under serious pressure.
• Ipswich claim their first away win of the season with a comprehensive 4-1 success at QPR, while Birmingham batter Portsmouth 4-0.
• Charlton and Swansea play out an entertaining 1-1 draw.

Oooft, what a dramatic day this has been in the Championship!

Headlines coming up but first, give this post a thumbs up if you're chuffed with your side's efforts today and it's the down thumb if you've been left feeling glum.

Millwall have second place in the Championship snatched away in the final seconds as Przemyslaw Placheta fires Oxford to a point.

Thierno Ballo had nodded Millwall into the lead before Cameron Brannagan equalised.

Skipper Jake Cooper, on his 400th appearance, got what he thought was the winner only for Placheta to have the final say.

Goals from Lewis Dobbin and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen win it for Preston as they record just a second away win in 13 attempts.

It's one win in 12 for Southampton as the pressure mounts on the Saints.

Boos all around St Mary's apart from one corner which belongs to Lancashire today.

George Hirst with two headers, Marcelino Nunez with two free kicks hand Ipswich a first away league win since April.

Rumarn Burrell had equalised for QPR.

Is this the turning of a corner for the Suffolk side?

They need to start the preparation for the game against Blackburn as quickly as possible.

City will have the opportunity to put this behind them, let's hope that's just a bump in the road.

Honours even in this entertaining encounter.

Not sure many people would have predicted this at the start of today!

Middlesbrough miss out on the chance to go level on points with leaders Coventry and fall to a thumping defeat at Vicarage Road.

Birmingham City have got back to their winning ways at St Andrew's.

Scoring has been one of the biggest difficulties for Blues this season but a dominant performance against Portsmouth sees them take their biggest victory of the season.

Carlton Morris bags a first career hat-trick to give Derby a third successive win.

Lowly Sheffield United have now lost 10 of their opening 13 league matches and are three points adrift of safety.

Stoke stomp all over Bristol City to take a massive victory at the bet365.

Bristol City weren't uncompetitive. In fact, they had more shots at goal than their hosts with 17, six of which were on target, but Stoke are a very difficult side to get past.

The Robins did manage to rob them of a clean sheet though after Mark Sykes found the net to reduce the damage done to their goal difference.

Stoke's Divin Mubama won't be bothered though. He'll be reliving that hat-trick for years to come.
