Albion boss Steve Coppell has decided not to appeal against Paul Brooker's red card against Crystal Palace after studying "inconclusive" video evidence.

Brooker was dismissed for a challenge on Palace hat-trick hero Andy Johnson in Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Selhurst Park.

Palace were awarded a penalty for the tackle, their second of the game, which Johnson converted to complete his treble.

Coppell initially felt Brooker deserved to be sent-off for the foul, but decided to consider an appeal after players told him the Albion winger had made "good contact with the ball."

Brooker will receive an automatic one-match ban which means he will definitely miss the next away match at Wolves on November 11.
