    West Brom manager Tony Pulis speaking to Match of the Day: "I think everybody's got to calm down. You're always going to have runs of games where you don’t pick points up. You raise the expectation and people get carried away. 

    "The lads have worked so hard in all the games. I thought we’d never play as well as what we have played. They’ve never given anything but their best.

    "The lads were a bit disappointed with two defeats. They’ve done fantastically well. They’ve carried on working so hard together as a group. I thought on the counter we always looked dangerous.

    "We’ve got 43 points. We know where we are as a football club. We’re not getting carried away. 

    "We’ll do the best we possibly can. If we win games, brilliant. If we don’t we’ve still got a group of honest players who give everything."
