"John Carver was struggling to pick a team and Newcastle then went behind. But they got that lifeline to make it 1-1 and in the second half played much better. Boaz Myhill only had one save to make but it's something to build on and it's not a defeat."
Newcastle pump it forward, but Gareth McAuley out-jumps Papiss Cisse.
Last few moments...
Two minutes of time added on.
Moussa Sissoko crashes in a low drive and it's well saved by Boaz Myhill! Chance.

BBC Final Score
"If you make an appointment early enough and give them a chance you get your rewards. That is what West Brom have done and credit to them for getting Tony Pulis in.
"If Newcastle get a point it will be important for them as it will address the slide after their losing run."
Remy Cabella cuts inside, beats his man, but his curling effort climbs over the bar. Same old, same old.
Claudio Yacob is a late addition to the referee's book after a messy challenge.
Sammy Ameobi off and Ayoze Perez off as John Carver shuffles for the final time.
More concerning holes appearing in the Newcastle defence.
Saido Berahino almost makes something of one there, but his shot cannons off a defender and into the turf, killing any power that would have made it difficult for Tim Krul.

"I think he (Morrison) is very lucky. Studs were showing, absolutely everything."
That was ugly.
James Morrison lunges in and takes a dirty great chunk of Ryan Taylor. Referee Chris Foy decides that he was stretching and misjudged it rather than meaning any harm.
It is just a yellow.
Chris, Bournemouth: Hope Leicester stay up and Newcastle go down, just to prove that keeping faith in a manager is better than sacking him, as I'm getting worried football is becoming far too fickle these days.
Peter Collins: Far be it from me to question the best coach in the league, but why on earth did Cisse not start? He actually scores goals.
Callum McManaman replaces Victor Anichebe for West Brom. And is roundly jeered. He committed a horror foul on Massadio Haïdara when he was playing for Wigan.
West Brom carry plenty of counter-attack threat with Saido Berahno and Victor Anichebe up front together.
The pair combine neatly, but Tim Krul is off his line like an express train to make the save at Berahino's feet.
Forty-seven thousand Geordie buttocks are chewing their seats.
Mark Lawrenson, BBC Radio 5 live
"Tim Krul does brilliantly because he just put Chris Brunt off a bit. Newcastle have got away with one.
"The last 15 minutes or so are going be the best of this game because both teams are trying to win."
Agonising for West Brom, and a warning shot for Newcastle not to get ahead of themselves.
Chrsi Brunt's header is partially blocked by Paul Dummet, but, with Tim Krul on the deck, the ball loops back up to the midfielder. It is an awkward height and Brunt can only stab an instinctive volley against the bar.
A point might yet be a good result for the hosts.

"The sight of striker Papiss Cisse coming on was greeted with thunderous noise from Newcastle United's fans. He has been their main goal threat this season - and how they need one right now.
"The good news for the Toon Army is that Newcastle have kept West Brom very much at arm's length in this second half."
