He told our friends at the official site: "We went for it and came here to attack them and I think we deserved the point. We didn’t get the attacking part of it right all the time but we still looked dangerous on the break when we were three against three."
He hailed the inexperienced and depleted line up, which contained only two players over 24, including yet again the ever impressive sixteen-year old Billy Jones: “The players did really well to get themselves in front after the start we had and we knew that we would have to cope with those high balls into our box. Our goalkeeper likes to come for them, so we thought we would be okay with most of them.
He sighted the comfortable win at Crystal Palace on Tuesday as a big factor in the way the sid eplayed at the Hawthorns: "Playing the way we did gave us a chance and we didn’t want to sit back and put ourselves under pressure. The result at Palace took the pressure off us a bit and we could come here and enjoy ourselves more. If someone had said to me before this week that we would have got four points, I would have been absolutely delighted with that."
And on his inspired tactical switch of moving David Wright into midfield: "Billy had a head injury, so we had to change things slightly. The players came to me and suggested we move David Wright into midfield and I was impressed with that. They made the decision and it seems David likes to score here!"
