Youssouf Mulumbu felt West Bromwich Albion boss Pepe Mel saw them at their best for victory over Swansea City.
Albion now visit Hull on Saturday with renewed confidence after their first victory since New Year's Day and Mulumbu says the display must be a benchmark.
Mulumbu, 27, said: "In the second half I saw a great team - and the real face of West Brom.
"It's a good game to keep as a reference and now we will go to Hull next, stay focused and have the same positive attitude."
