Keith Downing "proud" of West Bromwich Albion players

Keith Downing is pleased how West Bromwich Albion's players have performed during the Christmas period.

West Bromwich Albion caretaker manager Keith Downing has revealed that he is proud of how the players have responded to the recent sacking of Steve Clarke.

Downing said that he was concerned with his side's defensive performance in the 3-3 draw with West Ham United, but was pleased that they managed to come from behind twice to claim a point.

"Everyone else enjoyed it apart from me, it was end to end, not one for defensive purists," he told BBC News. "I have mixed emotions because we edged ahead but credit to West Ham, they came back strongly.

"We've come back twice from behind in two days. Nicolas Anelka is a top quality player. He's waited patiently for an opportunity. His two goals is what he's all about, a lot of class.

"After the initial shock of what happened with Steve Clarke, the players have galvanised themselves, got together as a group. I'm very proud of them. I'll let the chairman and board go on hunting for the right man, I'll carry on as long as they want me to."

West Brom are currently two points above the relegation zone in 16th.
