West Brom coach calls for a final push

MARK Venus hopes Albion will use the 'magic' of six potential Premier League derbies as part of their fight for survival.
The Baggies assistant boss concedes Albion are relying on other results in their final two games of the campaign.
But he hopes that there will still be a place at the Premier League table for another West Midlands club, along with Villa, Blues and Wolves.
If Albion did produce another Great Escape it would be the first time all four clubs have been in the top flight since 1983/84, although their hopes were hit by Newcastle's 3-1 win against Middlesbrough last night.
"It would be magic for everyone if we stayed up and were able to play against Wolves and Birmingham," said Venus.
"And if it did happen I honestly believe we'd be a better club for it next season.
"We've learned a lot this season and we now have two very difficult teams -an in-form Blackburn side and impregnable Liverpool team.
"We're still there, we're still fighting and shouting.
