Andrew Crofts has praised Albion’s work to keep Nottingham Forest quiet.

And he reckons they are not far from gettings things right at the other end.

Crofts got through a busy midfield display in yesterday’s 0-0 draw at the City Ground - and thoroughly enjoyed it.

He said: “They are a really good team and we showed we can match the best.

“We know what we are capable of and hopefully now we can build on that.

“I don’t think results have shown how we have been playing but today, in the second half especially, we more than matched them.

“The clean sheet is massive and we created chances as well. We want to play entertaining football but also be compact and solid as a team.

“We nailed that today. We were unlucky not to get the rub of green with the chances but that will come.

“We have got good players who can score goals.”
