Alan Pardew insists heated row with Chris Brunt is positive for the West Brom dressing room as they aim to pull off audacious escape from relegation

Alan Pardew insists the dressing-room row with Chris Brunt after defeat to Huddersfield is a positive sign the team are determined to pull off a miraculous escape from relegation.

The West Brom manager is under intense scrutiny and defeat at Watford would in all likelihood bring an end to his tenure, but he vowed to not walk away from the job.

West Brom are seven points adrift and Pardew has only won one of 14 Premier League games in charge, the latest loss to Huddersfield prompting Brunt to rip into the tactics and the team's application after the final whistle.
