West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis wasn't getting carried away after their 1-0 win over Hull City.

Saido Berahino's 14th goal of the season, struck as he connected with a tee-up from an indirect free-kick inside the box in the 78th minute, secured a win that moved the Baggies up from 17th to 14th in the table and two points clear of the relegation zone.

"There is lots of work still to be done," Pulis said. "I think the crowd was very patient and very good, and we'll need them to be behind us. I think the important thing is that people have to recognise and realise how tough this is going to be.

"People think I am just saying it to take the pressure off, but just take a look at the Championship and the number of teams in that division who have spent years in the Premier League. The reason they have gone into the Championship is that they have got complacent, without a question of a doubt.

"Everybody took their foot off the pedal and almost accepted they were going to remain in the top-flight. As soon as you do that, you will get relegated.

"It's what happens - people take their foot off. They expect. That is the worst word in the dictionary - complacency. It is my message to everybody.

"Everyone around this club has to understand this is a real dog-fight until the end of the season and for us to stay out of it, everyone has to pull together - and not just myself, the chairman, the staff and players.

"The supporters have an enormous role to play in this, and they were brilliant. They were patient, they kept behind the players and we will need that from now until the end of the season."
