"It was an important three points for us, it gives us a lot more confidence.[LNB]"When you win an important game like this one, an away game, against the team that's top of the table, a team that is going for promotion, it is always important.[LNB]Confidence"It tells us we are in a good way and this is what we wanted. When you get victories, you get more conviction and more confidence."[LNB]West Brom head coach Roberto Di Matteo felt under the weather and so did not attend the post-match press conference.[LNB]But assistant Eddie Newton admitted the Baggies had spoken about Beattie before the match.[LNB]"We know what Craig can do, we told the boys what he possesses - the negatives and the positives," he said.[LNB]"And we got hit on the sucker punch, a little bit of naivety and we got punished for it."[LNB]
