Fabian Huerzeler was happy with a clean sheet in Albion’s latest pre-season test.

Danny Welbeck’s penalty secured a 1-0 win at QPR.

Albion were rarely troubled at the back.

Head coach Huerzeler said: “We worked very well against the ball.

“There was not a clear chance for our opponent and that was our goal for this game.

“That we worked together, that we worked out of a compactness, that we have clear press signals.

“That we defend to score.

“I think out of the compactness we had some chances and with the ball there were some good things, bad things.

“Especially in the first half, we had a phase when we were not really clear, we made too easy mistakes.

“But in general I think it was a very good test.

“We are not where we want to be but it was a good step forward and we keep going.”
