West Brom boss Sam Allardyce felt they could hurt Wolves at set pieces ahead of today's Black Country derby shock.

The Baggies won 3-2 to give Allardyce his first win as manager.

He said, "In the vast majority of that performance the plan, and the way the lads carried out the tactics was excellent. It's the best I've seen us in possession since I've been here.

"Apart from slipping up on a set-piece which put us on the back foot I'd have to say the lads were excellent. You could have felt the heads go down when we were behind but they came bouncing back. We created other chances after going ahead which would have made it even better and then defended well at the end.

"It's even better for the club and the fans because we've beat our rivals in the Black Country derby. We look forward to gaining a bit of confidence now.

"Wolves let a lot of goals in on set pieces so we felt we could exploit that. We created more from open play than in any game since I've been here.

"I'm asking the players to improve their overall fitness and technique by 1% - add that all up and it's a big improvement. I'm asking for everyone to do that little bit more and be more consistent."
