West Brom head coach Pepe Mel believes Saturday's 1-0 win
over Norwich City demonstrated their positive team spirit after a difficult
week.
Mel and the club have looked to play down an incident
that took place in the dressing room after they conceded a late equaliser in
last week's 3-3 draw against Cardiff City.
And they bounced back at Carrow Road as Morgan Amalfitano
struck the only goal of the game to move West Brom five points clear of the
relegation zone.
Mel felt their unity was on display in the victory, which
acts as a major boost for their survival hopes.
He said: "A team that has displayed discipline on
the pitch and played as they did today - well and together - demonstrates there
is a good spirit within the camp and that we are a family.
"These three points really move us closer to the end
and they really make our route a lot easier.
"I really think the game against Spurs is very
important and if we're able to win against Tottenham (at The Hawthorns next
Saturday) then the future will be a very happy one.
"Today we're sure that we're going to win because
our levels of confidence are very high."
The victory also pulls Norwich further into the mire,
with many of the home fans clearly frustrated by what they saw at Carrow Road.
While Mel was surprised by the atmosphere, he did not
feel it acted as an advantage for his men.
"I think our own work is what helped us. We worked
very hard," he added.
"If you were to ask my opinion on it, if they love
their team then they should try to help them during the 90 minutes."
